Job description

MANAGER - MANUFACTURING DIGITAL TWIN

We are seeking a high‑impact Digital Twin Manager to lead the deployment of digital twins that simulate complex physical processes and manufacturing systems, enabling clients to visualize, validate, and optimize factory operations before they are built or modified.

What You’ll Do
  • Architect and implement simulation‑first digital twin frameworks that integrate real‑time data, process models, and 3D environments to mirror and optimize physical manufacturing systems.
  • Lead cross‑functional teams to model, simulate, and validate workflows, enabling clients to test scenarios, reduce downtime, and improve throughput before deploying changes in the real world.
  • Apply knowledge of physics‑based modeling, robotics simulation, virtual commissioning, and advanced analytics to support clients in achieving smarter, faster factory performance.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor for senior manufacturing and digital leaders, helping them identify where and how to deploy digital twin technologies for maximum impact.
  • Shape strategic roadmaps for digital twin adoption—capability assessments, maturity models, and value realization frameworks.
  • Guide clients through technology selection, system integration, and change management efforts aligned with simulation‑led innovation.
  • Advance ZS’s digital twin offerings by building reusable simulation assets, technical POVs, and cross‑industry playbooks.
  • Stay at the forefront of simulation technology trends (e.g., NVIDIA Omniverse, OpenUSD, PLM/CAD connectors) and contribute to thought leadership.
  • Lead and mentor global teams of simulation engineers, process modelers, and digital solution architects.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across engineering, IT, and operations to ensure successful integration of digital and physical ecosystems.
What You’ll Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related technical field; Master’s or MBA strongly preferred.
  • Minimum 7+ years’ experience in manufacturing operations, simulation, digital engineering, or digital twin implementations.
  • Proven experience with manufacturing simulation tools such as Siemens Tecnomatix, Dassault DELMIA, or similar platforms.
  • Deep knowledge of robotics simulation, factory automation, and virtual commissioning practices.
  • Familiarity with NVIDIA Omniverse (USD Composer/View, Nucleus Server), OpenUSD standards, and CAD/PLM tools (NX, Revit, SolidWorks).
  • Understanding of live data integration with MES, SCADA, and ERP systems to enable real‑time overlays in digital twins.
  • Strong analytical, consultative, and problem‑solving capabilities with the ability to articulate technical concepts to business audiences.
  • Experience managing multi‑disciplinary teams across geographies and projects.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive decisions.
  • Experience in regulated industries (biopharma, medtech) and familiarity with GxP compliance, 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11 is a plus.
  • Prior consulting or client‑facing experience with complex digital transformation initiatives is a plus.
Hybrid Working Model

We are committed to a flexible and connected way of working. ZSers are onsite at clients or ZS offices three days a week, with the option to work remotely two days a week. This hybrid model supports both collaborative face‑to‑face interactions and individual productivity.

Travel

Travel is a requirement for client‑facing ZSers. While some projects may be local, all client‑facing team members should be prepared to travel as needed to strengthen client relationships and support project objectives.

ZS is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing equal employment and advancement opportunities without regard to any class protected by applicable law.
