Manufacturing Robot Engineer

Full-time

General Motors Proving Ground

Job Description
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard — from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we work to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
We are seeking a Robot Engineer to design, develop, and implement robotic systems that enhance automation, improve efficiency, and support manufacturing operations. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate industrial robots, troubleshoot motion control issues, and optimize programming for high-performance automation. You will also maintain and refine robotic systems to ensure seamless operation, compliance with industry standards, and minimal downtime.
Key Responsibilities
Lead new robot program implementation and execution (SOR preparation, forecasting, controls/robotics design, equipment build/run-off and buyoff).
Support design, construction, integration, plant installation, successful launch, and continuous improvement of robotic systems.
Stay current on new controls technologies (PLC, HMI, networks, robots, vision) and support deployment of new technology to minimize risk.
Manage deliveries to meet program timing milestones.
Perform simultaneous engineering activities with Manufacturing Engineering and equipment suppliers.
Solve or assist with manufacturing operational controls problems as required.
Support deployment of best common systems and methods as defined in the Global Controls Bill of Process.
Develop and support advanced robotic technology solutions (cutting, joining, handling, laser, vision).
Provide support for safety systems, standards, and solutions, including use of DCS.
Drive common execution practices across projects and programs.
Participate in development and testing of advanced robotics technology.
Prepare and deliver project updates to senior management.
Provide technical direction and mentorship to less experienced controls engineers.
Required Qualifications
At least 1 year of experience in industrial automation, robotics, or vision systems (3+ years preferred).
Proficiency in Fanuc robot programming (TP, KAREL, HandlingTool, vision guidance).
PLC/HMI programming skills (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell preferred).
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, or a related technical field.
Ability to work effectively in both central engineering and plant environments, including time on the plant floor around operating equipment.
Preferred Qualifications
Robot simulation experience (Fanuc ROBOGUIDE).
Experience with CNC, conveyor systems, or general automation.
Prior experience deploying vision-guided robotic systems in a manufacturing environment.

This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc).
