  • Ensure Safety & Quality Compliance: Enforce "Design for Safety" (DfS) protocols to reduce incident rates, architect 1:1 component‑level traceability frameworks to meet client audit requirements, and align all engineering outputs with Customer Quality Agreements.
What You’ll Bring (Skills & Qualifications)
  • Senior Engineering Leadership: 10–15+ years of senior leadership experience within a High‑Variation/High‑Mix manufacturing environment, with a strong preference for Tier 1 Contract Electronics Manufacturing background.
  • Lean & Automation Mastery: Expert‑level knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and the Theory of Constraints (Six Sigma Black Belt preferred), paired with practical experience deploying Cobots and machine learning sensors.
  • Global Influence & Communication: A proven track record of managing remote teams across international time zones (EMEA, AMER, APAC) and the exceptional communication skills required to influence regional site leads to adopt global standards.
  • Required Education: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering; an MBA or advanced degree in Operations Management is a significant advantage.
What We Offer (Benefits)
  • Compensation: Competitive compensation and executive benefits packages aligned with your experience level.
  • Work‑Life Balance: Generous paid time off, holiday schedules, and flexible work options to support personal well‑being.
  • Health & Future: Comprehensive health, wellness, and retirement investment plans.
  • Growth: Meaningful global leadership opportunities for continuous learning and professional career growth within Iron Mountain.

Reasonably expected salary range: $163,400.00 - $217,900.00
