Senior Manufacturing Process Engineer – Electrical Quality & Standards

GM • Warren, MI

23h • Onsite

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. 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. Serve as a subject matter expert in electrical manufacturing processes, driving the adoption and execution of Bill of Operations (BoO) standards across assembly plants. This role focuses on improving quality outcomes by aligning teams to proven processes, identifying gaps, and enabling consistent, scalable execution. Work 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

• 5+ years of experience in electrical manufacturing, product engineering, quality, or manufacturing engineering within a high-volume production environment (automotive preferred)
• Strong working knowledge of vehicle electrical systems, including harnessing, modules, connectivity, end-of-line validation/testing, and electrical integration in vehicle assembly
• Proven experience leading resolution of complex production, launch, or quality issues through structured problem-solving, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective actions
• Demonstrated expertise with manufacturing quality systems and tools, including PFMEA, Control Plans, standardized work, layered audits, and continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience driving execution and decision-making in ambiguous, fast-paced manufacturing environments with minimal direction
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and program organizations
• Strong communication, presentation, and influencing skills, with the ability to drive alignment and adoption of standards across multiple teams, programs, or plants
• Experience supporting vehicle launches, major process changes, or production readiness activities
• Willingness and ability to travel (~50%) and provide hands-on support at manufacturing facilities

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting or leading electrical manufacturing strategy across multiple assembly plants or vehicle programs
• Vehicle assembly manufacturing experience with a focus on electrical systems integration
• Knowledge of GM manufacturing systems, automotive launch processes, or large-scale production operations
• Experience developing, implementing, or governing manufacturing standards, quality processes, or best practices
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent technical 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
