Senior Manufacturing Dimensional Engineer

General Motors • Warren, MI

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves interfacing with product, tooling, and design teams to understand design and dimensional risks. The engineer will also interface with suppliers to identify product dimensional performance and its impact on the overall build. A key responsibility is leading dimensional variation reduction activities, including slow builds, fixture builds, and understanding variation stack-ups and risks to finished level assemblies. The position requires leading the analysis of parts and assemblies using virtual tools such as Team Center, Polyworks, and scanning equipment. The engineer will be the primary point of contact for all dimensional build concerns on programs, responsible for root-causing issues, defining corrective action plans, and validating them. Additionally, the role involves interfacing with assembly plant labor workforce (union) and plant leadership, leading process development for consistency, and providing training and mentorship. The engineer will monitor dimensional performance to identify potential risks to the assembly process, quality, or customer experience, and perform technical problem-solving on build and process issues. This role supervises three Dimensional Matching Engineers and Scanning Resources. Approximately 30% domestic travel is required. The work policy is hybrid, with 3 days in-office and 2 days remote, requiring the ability to report to a local office.
