MANAGER - MANUFACTURING DIGITAL TWIN
We are seeking a high-impact Digital Twin Manager to lead the charge in designing, selling, and delivering next-generation manufacturing simulation solutions. In this role, you will spearhead the deployment of digital twins that simulate complex physical processes and manufacturing systems, enabling clients to visualize, validate, and optimize their factory operations before they are built or modified.
As a leader within ZS's Supply Chain & Manufacturing practice, you will partner with leading global manufacturers-particularly in biopharma, medtech, and high-tech sectors-to shape digital transformation agendas that use immersive, physics-informed simulations to improve operational agility, quality, and speed to market.
What You'll Do
Simulation & Digital Twin Delivery

• 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.

Client Leadership & Transformation Strategy

• 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-including capability assessments, maturity models, and value realization frameworks.
• Guide clients through technology selection, system integration, and change management efforts aligned with simulation-led innovation.

Innovation & Asset Development

• 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.

Team Development & Collaboration

• 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
Education & Experience

• 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.

Technical Expertise

• 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.

Leadership & Communication

• 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.

Nice to Have

• Experience in regulated industries (biopharma, medtech), with understanding of GxP compliance, 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11.
• Prior consulting or client-facing experience with complex digital transformation initiatives.
