Description

The role:

The Project Industrial Engineer is a systems-driven individual who is an integral part of daily and future manufacturing operations. The Project Industrial Engineer will lead initiatives to eliminate the waste of time, money, materials, person-hours, machine time, energy, and other resources that do not generate value at Spring Hill GPS.

Work is of a technical nature and focused on making complex manufacturing processes more efficient, which involves understanding the systematic cross functionality of several departments within Spring Hill GPS and the General Motors enterprise. The Project Industrial Engineer will primarily serve as a leader for complex automation projects, which includes collaborating with several organizations to implement automated cells, collaborative robots, and material automation. The Project Industrial Engineer will lead and partner with others to develop the system design of plant processes that will be impacted by these automation projects, including executing rebalance, layout design, and automated and manual workflow design initiatives. The Project Industrial Engineer will also be responsible for tracking project milestones and collaborating with Headquarters engineering groups and area leaders to develop strategic execution timelines and plans.

The Project Industrial Engineer will collaborate with several in-plant departments, Headquarters engineering organizations, UAW team members, and third-party suppliers and contractors.

The ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environment is critical to your success at General Motors. Significant use of independent judgment is required, as well as the ability to think critically and creatively to solve problems and drive projects forward. Exceptional relationship building, communication, and organizational skills are needed to effectively plan and execute complex projects.

Additionally, a strong systems-based mindset, knowledge of automation systems (collaborative robots, automation cells, and material automation), and exceptional project management skills are required.

What you’ll do:

Manage, plan, and execute large-scale manufacturing projects that involve the introduction of robotic cells, cobots, and material automation systems by collaborating with in-plant departments and Headquarters engineering groups
Develop robust manufacturing systems and make modifications to current systems to support the installation and sustainment of automation
Evaluate project feasibility, capability, and ROI by performing cycle time analysis and providing critical data to model simulations and to develop systems
Coordinate with Headquarters engineering groups to develop business cases, Statements of Work (SOW), and Statements of Requirement (SOR) for new projects
Track project milestones, critical paths, escalations, manpower support requirements, and timelines to ensure project planning and execution align with business objectives
Partner with area leaders and Headquarters engineering groups to strategically develop interim and long-term project execution plans and milestone requirements
Participate in safety buyoff processes, including g-Risks and g-Comply, for new equipment and automation
Travel to equipment suppliers as needed to support the runoff process
Support the automation installation process including Start of Regular Production (SORP)
Lead the revision of assembly line flow and build sequence to support automation and rebalance projects according to the Engine Assembly Document (EAD)
Lead the revision of workstation, equipment, and material storage layouts to accommodate automation installation
Support the configuration of automation workflows within robotic cells, with material automation, and with material pull systems
Support tool design, lift assist design, material packaging design, and material presentation design
Strategize manual backup processes to ensure production targets are met
Strategize and execute long term automation sustainability plans, including synthesizing preventative maintenance needs, collaborating with teams to plan spare parts, and developing standardized work
Design work operations that meet safety, ergonomic, quality, takt, and efficiency requirements

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications):

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related degree, or equivalent experience
5+ years of manufacturing experience
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Demonstrated ability to analyze and solve complex problems
Experience leading large and difficult continuous improvement projects with a high level of autonomy
Knowledge of robotic systems (robotic cells, cobots, or material automation) or general programming
Proficiency in labor optimization tools and time study analysis
Proficiency in AutoCAD or computer-aided drafting and layout tools
Ability to work off-shift, weekends, or overtime to support project implementations or as needed

What will give you a competitive edge (Preferred Qualifications):

Proficiency in human factors engineering, safety engineering, or ergonomic analysis
Experience with Throughput Improvement Processes (TIP)
Experience in data or statistical analysis
Experience working in a unionized manufacturing environment
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification
