  • Analyze production and quality data to identify trends, prioritize issues, and recommend corrective actions
  • Support new product introductions, engineering changes, and model year changes within the assembly area
  • Ensure compliance with GM safety requirements, built-in quality expectations, and manufacturing standards
  • Provide technical guidance to operators, skilled trades, and less experienced engineers as needed

Required Qualifications

  • Ability to work overtime hours as required
  • 3+ yrs of experience in manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, process engineering, or a related production environment
  • Experience supporting assembly operations, automated manufacturing systems, or high-volume production processes
  • Demonstrated problem-solving capability using structured methods and data analysis
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing safety, quality systems, process control, and continuous improvement principles
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across functions and organizational levels
  • Strong technical ownership in a manufacturing environment
  • Ability to balance urgent floor support with long-term process improvement
  • Sound judgment and a bias for action in resolving production issues
  • Capability to influence across teams and drive alignment on solutions
  • A practical, hands-on approach paired with analytical problem solving

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in driveline, powertrain, transmission, axle, or other complex mechanical assembly environments
  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Experience with launch support, equipment integration, or process validation
  • Knowledge of lean manufacturing, standardized work, PFMEA, control plans, and error-proofing
  • Experience with PLC-controlled equipment, automation interfaces, and troubleshooting in a production setting
  • Experience using statistical tools, data visualization, and manufacturing performance metrics to drive decisions
  • Proven ability to lead continuous improvement projects with measurable results

Why Join Us

At General Motors, you will have the opportunity to help shape world-class manufacturing processes and deliver meaningful improvements in safety, quality, and operational performance. This role offers the chance to make a direct impact in driveline assembly while working alongside a collaborative team committed to continuous improvement and manufacturing excellence.
