What You Will Do


Safety and Compliance


  • Follow GM safety standards, electrical safe-work practices, lockout/tagout, hazardous energy control, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Perform or support high-voltage isolation, absence-of-voltage verification, grounding, switching, re-energization, and return-to-service activities within training and authorization.
  • Support audits, risk assessments, emergency response, and incident investigations; identify and address electrical safety risks.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting


  • Maintain and troubleshoot electrical test stands, formation systems, battery handling equipment, power supplies, transformers, motor controls, and distribution equipment.
  • Diagnose AC/DC faults using schematics, meters, insulation-resistance testing, and approved diagnostic tools.
  • Troubleshoot PLC I/O, HMIs, drives, instrumentation, sensors, safety circuits, interlocks, and industrial networks; determine root cause and restore safe operation.
  • Complete preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance and document work, equipment changes, and return-to-service status.

Technical and Project Support


  • Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, one-lines, equipment manuals, and control logic.
  • Support commissioning, startup, debugging, equipment upgrades, equipment acceptance, SAT/MARO, supplier FAT/SAT, and field troubleshooting.
  • Train operators and peers on safe operation and basic maintenance practices; contribute to standard work, reliability improvements, spare-parts planning, and continuous improvement.
  • Communicate equipment status, risks, repair timelines, and escalation needs clearly and proactively.

Required Qualifications


  • Technical degree, completed four-year apprenticeship, electrical journeyman’s license, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • High-voltage electrical certification, authorization, or documented training appropriate to the systems and voltage levels supported.
  • Three or more years of hands-on experience as an electrical, industrial, maintenance, or controls technician.
  • Experience with electrical safe-work practices, lockout/tagout, hazardous energy control, and absence-of-voltage verification.
  • Ability to troubleshoot AC/DC power, controls, motor controls, drives, instrumentation, sensors, safety circuits, and PLC-based systems.
  • Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and one-line diagrams and safely use electrical test equipment.
  • Ability to wear required PPE, work any shift in a 24/7 coverage model, and support weekends and holidays as needed.
  • Strong communication skills, proficiency with maintenance documentation systems, and ability to travel to suppliers when required.

Preferred Qualifications


  • Experience with lithium-ion battery manufacturing, formation, electrical test, end-of-line testing, high-voltage battery systems, power conversion, or energy-storage equipment.
  • Experience with arc-flash assessments, medium-voltage systems, electrical safety programs, or energized-work planning.
  • Experience with Siemens PLCs/HMIs, PLC diagnostics, industrial networks, Fanuc robotics, automated material handling, or machine safety systems.
  • Experience in development, pilot-line, startup, commissioning, machine runoffs, capability studies, root-cause analysis, or reliability-centered maintenance.
  • Knowledge of lithium-ion manufacturing hazards, hazardous materials, and process safety management.

This is a hands-on role in an advanced battery cell development and manufacturing environment. Work may involve electrical equipment, batteries, industrial machinery, chemicals, robotics, mobile equipment, clean-room areas, and other manufacturing hazards.
