Descripción

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role

As a Compartment Manufacturing Engineer on GM’s Vehicle Systems Product Interface team, you will be the manufacturing voice for a global vehicle architecture and style. You will partner with Product Engineering, program teams, Global Manufacturing Engineering, and assembly plants to ensure vehicle designs are buildable, meet manufacturing requirements, and support common, efficient processes across regions.

This role offers the opportunity to influence product direction early in vehicle development, solve complex design-for-manufacturing challenges, and make enterprise decisions that reduce labor, complexity, tooling needs, and Base Engineered Content while protecting quality and launch readiness.

What You’ll Do

Analyze product designs and collaborate with Product Engineering to incorporate manufacturing requirements from concept through launch.
Represent Manufacturing in Product Engineering and program meetings, peer reviews, and design decisions.
Assess assembly methods and drive designs toward common, scalable processes that meet General Assembly strategies and Vehicle Manufacturing Requirements.
Verify compliance with manufacturing requirements or lead the deviation approval process when requirements cannot be met.
Identify, track, document, and escalate issues and deviations; lead resolution with Product Engineering and Global Manufacturing Engineering partners.
Conduct dynamic and static studies, virtual reality reviews, process virtual builds, ergonomic assessments, and other virtual evaluations throughout the Vehicle Development Process.
Use virtual assessments to confirm buildability, identify manufacturing risks, and guide design decisions before physical builds.
Support and lead program Level 2 PFMEA workshops, as assigned.
Participate in Product Engineering peer reviews through the ePeer process and in Component Readiness Reviews through the CRV process.
Document process and tooling requirements for regional execution and confirm compliance across executing assembly plants.
Drive product designs toward the lowest practical Base Engineered Content and participate in BEC reduction workshops.
Develop and communicate the program compartment Level 2 build sequence.
Identify potential ergonomic concerns and communicate them to the program ergonomist.
Support IVER and/or PTB builds in person and assembly plant builds as needed.
Serve as IRT co-chair during IVER and/or PTB builds at the Pre-Production Facility.
Serve as Global Issue Resolution Team co-chair and drive common solutions across regions of build.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience.
Experience supporting a vehicle program launch with General Assembly or Final Assembly plants.
Working knowledge of Manufacturing Engineering execution, tooling, and General Assembly plant operations.
Experience analyzing product designs for assembly feasibility and manufacturing impact.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to make complex concepts and issues easy to understand.
Self-motivated, accountable, and able to work effectively with limited direction.
Strong VIS Mockup skills or the ability to quickly learn new software and virtual engineering tools.
Knowledge of Virtual Simulation (VS) and digital manufacturing engineering processes, including virtual build validation, ergonomic assessment, engineering change management, process planning, production readiness, and product lifecycle management.
Experience with comparable manufacturing and engineering software platforms is required; familiarity with tools such as MPS, VAA, ECR/EDGE, Auros, FIT, Momentum/GVDP, PRTS, LMS, or Teamcenter is preferred.
Experience in one or more of the following areas: Exterior Trim, Chassis, Powertrain, Interior Trim, or related vehicle systems.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

Experience with electrical harnesses, electrical components, software, or End-of-Line electrical programming and debugging.
Experience with Red X, Design for Six Sigma, Operational Excellence, or related continuous improvement methods.
Industrial Engineering experience.
Experience leading cross-functional issue resolution across multiple regions or assembly plants.
Experience with PFMEA, design reviews, build sequencing, ergonomic assessment, or manufacturing virtual simulation.

Work and Build Expectations

Attendance at IVER and/or PTB builds is required and will be in person.
Support for assembly plant builds may be required based on program needs.
This role requires effective collaboration across Product Engineering, program teams, manufacturing organizations, and regional assembly plants.

Why Join Us

You will help shape vehicle designs before they reach the plant, influence global manufacturing strategy, and deliver solutions that improve buildability, efficiency, ergonomics, and launch readiness. Your work will directly connect product engineering decisions to successful vehicle production at GM assembly plants worldwide.
