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

The Product Interface (PI) Engineer serves as the primary liaison between Body Manufacturing Engineering (ME Body) and Product Engineering. In this role, you will ensure product designs are driven by manufacturing needs through the effective application of Manufacturing Requirements (MRs) and Best Practices (BPs).

You will help enable global inter-buildability, maintain high levels of static quality, and align product development with GM’s Lean manufacturing principles and systems. PI Engineers support programs throughout the entire Global Vehicle Development Process (GVDP) lifecycle, identify solutions to complex problems, and pursue opportunities to reduce cost.
