About The Position

GM Performance Power Units is seeking an AM Manufacturing Process Engineer to support the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes and quality systems. The role bridges engineering, quality, and operations to ensure manufacturing processes are clearly defined, documented, controlled, traceable, and capable of consistently producing high-quality parts for high-performance applications. The engineer will own manufacturing documentation, ERP/IFS process definition, quality control plans, SOP development, production readiness, and continuous improvement activities. This position is onsite in Concord, North Carolina, and reports directly to the AM Process & Automation Lead. Because the role requires access to export-controlled technology or information, the successful candidate must be able to satisfy applicable U.S. export-control requirements, which may require verification of U.S. Person status or eligibility to obtain required government authorization. The role supports GM Performance Power Units’ Formula 1 program in a startup racing environment backed by engineering experience. The engineer will help ensure the reliability and performance of a next-generation Formula 1 power unit. The company describes its culture as rewarding precision, innovation, and continuous pursuit of performance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Materials, or a related engineering discipline.
At least 2 years of experience in manufacturing, process, quality, or production engineering.
Strong experience developing manufacturing documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, routings, and process specifications.
Experience developing and maintaining Control Plans, PFMEAs, process controls, and manufacturing quality documentation.
Experience with ERP/MES manufacturing systems; IFS Cloud is preferred, including routings, shop orders, manufacturing records, and process traceability.
Strong understanding of manufacturing process validation, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and continuous improvement methodologies.
Familiarity with APQP, SPC, CAPA, NCR/MRB, Lean Manufacturing, and structured problem-solving methods such as 8D or DMAIC.
Working knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, or similar regulated manufacturing quality systems.
Excellent technical writing, communication, organizational, and cross-functional teamwork skills.
