About The Position

As an E-Motor Manufacturing Technician, you will help build, inspect, test, troubleshoot, and improve electric-motor components and assemblies, including stators, rotors, and completed e-motors. You will support GM GPS manufacturing operations in a team-based environment, working with Manufacturing Engineering, Product Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Operations leadership to maintain safe, stable, and capable production processes. The role involves performing assigned manufacturing operations to standardized work and applicable engineering and quality requirements; using production equipment, tooling, fixtures, test devices, and material-handling equipment; and verifying workmanship, configuration, dimensions, and electrical or functional results. You will record production and test information, escalate abnormal conditions, help contain defects and investigate root causes, and contribute to equipment, launch, and continuous-improvement activities. The position is onsite and requires reporting to a specific location full time. GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship or relocation benefits for this role.
