About The Position

Global Manufacturing Electrical & SDV is looking for engineers who want to solve complex, real-world manufacturing challenges at scale. This role sits at the center of electrical quality and production—working across global plants to improve build standards, reduce defects, and ensure every vehicle meets GM’s expectations from day one. You’ll partner directly with manufacturing teams, engineering, and suppliers to translate standards into execution—playing a key role in improving quality, reducing warranty, and enabling consistent, high-quality electrical builds across GM’s global footprint. The vision is to improve electrical build quality across GM’s global manufacturing network by standardizing processes that prevent defects before they occur—reducing warranty, increasing first-time quality (EFTQ), and ensuring consistent execution across plants. The role focuses on improving quality outcomes by aligning teams to proven processes, identifying gaps, and enabling consistent, scalable execution. This is achieved by working directly with plants, engineering, suppliers, and quality teams to implement and refine electrical manufacturing standards—using data, plant feedback, and hands-on engagement to improve processes, strengthen testing and validation, and drive measurable gains in EFTQ and warranty performance.

Requirements

2+ years of experience in electrical manufacturing, product engineering, or quality within a high-volume production environment (automotive preferred)
Hands-on exposure to vehicle electrical systems (e.g., harnessing, modules, connectivity, end-of-line validation/testing)
Experience resolving production or quality issues using structured problem-solving and root cause analysis
Working knowledge of manufacturing quality systems and tools (PFMEA, Control Plans, standardized work, layered audits, or similar)
Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and drive actionable solutions in fast-paced production environments
Proven effectiveness collaborating cross-functionally to drive alignment and execution
Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to drive adoption of standards across teams or plants
Willingness and ability to travel (~50%) and support on-site plant execution

Nice To Haves

Vehicle program launch experience
Vehicle assembly manufacturing experience
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Responsibilities

Update, maintain, and communicate electrical BoO standards to ensure clarity and consistent execution
Partner with vehicle assembly plants to drive adoption and implementation of electrical manufacturing processes
Identify gaps in plant execution and implement corrective actions, standardized work, and error-proofing improvements
Use quality data (EFTQ, warranty, defect trends) to prioritize initiatives and measure impact
Develop and execute action plans to achieve EFTQ targets and ensure BoO compliance
Collaborate across manufacturing, engineering, suppliers, and quality to drive alignment and continuous improvement
