Advanced Vehicle System Engineer

GM•Warren, MI

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves organizing the status of overall engineering deliverables during program execution, resolving math, build, and test issues related to engineering development. The engineer will participate in the development of a major global architecture, support design study reviews, issue resolution, and various program reviews such as Design Direction Reviews (DDR), Health Check Reviews, and Cost and Mass “deep dive” reviews. The position also requires participation in SMT Quality Plan development and execution, SMT staffing plans, and balancing SMT Imperative targets for cost, investment, mass, and quality. The engineer will also participate in resolving issues that span across different SMTs and program initiatives including localized sourcing, cost & mass reduction, and Auros and PRTS closure. Ensuring the Regulatory Checklist is complete, and all Manufacturing Requirements (MRs) and DFMEAs are in-place and agreed to on-time is crucial. The role includes participating in SMT engineering impact responses for Change Requests (CRs), ensuring subsystem interface documents are in place, and confirming the SMT is build ready for all upcoming events. Additionally, the engineer will coach and mentor Design Release Engineers and serve as the SMT representative in PET, VAPIR, and VPIT meetings, leading SMT topics and supporting DREs in presenting issues. This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days in-office and 2 days remote, with the ability to report to a local office.
