Engineering Group - Quality and Reliability Engineering

설명

The Role

The Supplier Quality Engineer – Non‑Fab Steel & Aluminum is responsible for ensuring that raw steel, aluminum, and engineered blanks supplied to GM meet all CQI/GM Customer Specific Requirements, CG standards, and internal quality expectations . The SQE owns the quality interface between mills, Tier 1s, Purchasing, Materials Engineering, plant QEs, and stamping/press shops, ensuring that raw materials meet GM specifications. This role focuses on non‑fabricated (bulk) material used in Body/Exterior and structural applications and serves as the primary interface between GM plants, Purchasing, Materials Engineering, Stamping/Manufacturing Engineering, and Non‑Fab suppliers to drive zero‑defect performance, robust launch, and rapid issue resolution.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities ): 

• Supplier Management & Development
  • Act as the primary SQ interface for assigned Non‑Fab steel, aluminum, and blanking suppliers (mills, service centers, blankers).
  • Lead supplier readiness reviews, system assessments and follow‑up actions to close gaps.
  • Support development and deployment of Non‑Fab standardized work , best practices, and lessons learned across suppliers and plants.
  • Ensure that material grades, coatings, and process routes used for parts are aligned to the engineering SOR, CTS and drawing requirements.
  • Own the supplier quality relationship for assigned steel and aluminum mills, including performance reviews and escalation.
  • Ensure the supplier and plant work together to receive and/or review the defective material sample when applicable to result in a proper root cause and improvement activity
     
• APQP / PPAP / Run@Rate
  • Execute SQ deliverables for APQP, PPAP and Run@Rate for Non‑Fab materials and engineered blanks in accordance with GM’s GMW’s, GSQD processes and CG standards.
  • Verify that control plans, material certifications, and capability data meet GM requirements prior to PPAP approval.
  • Support DUNS-owning SQEs and plants to ensure that all material/source changes have required documentation submitted and approved by the planned PPAP date
  • Coordinate with Purchasing, Stamping, ME, Materials Engineering, and plants to ensure capacity, quality, and timing are aligned to program needs.
     
• Issue Management (SPPS / PRR / Warranty / QRD)
  • Own the SPPS process for assigned suppliers: containment, root cause, corrective actions, and timely closure > 85% on‑time and < 30‑day average where applicable.
  • Ensure the supplier is responding to SPPS’ and Supplier Alerts in a timely manner and is accurately completing all applicable fields of the SPPS in SQMS such as containment, root cause and supplier improvement activities
  • Support closure of PRRs, QRD items, GRAs, and warranty concerns related to raw material or blanks, ensuring robust validation and permanent corrective actions.
  • Monitor and report supplier performance (QPR, SPPS, PRRs, warranty trends) and escalate when risk to production or customers is identified.
  • Track SPPS count per supplier and demonstrate reduction or slowed growth in SPPS over a rolling 6‑month period for the same supplier.
  • Engage and escalate issues to supplier leadership when required
     
• Standards, CGs and Technical Support
  • Apply and help maintain relevant GM’s GMW’s , GM CGs and specifications for base material, coatings (e.g., EG, HDG, aluminum), surface quality, and blank/coil characteristics (e.g., flatness, property windows).
  • Partner with Materials Engineering, Purchasing and Stamping/ME to interpret standards, drive updates when needed, and communicate changes to suppliers and plants.
  • Provide technical support to SQE plant teams on Non‑Fab issues (e.g., coil defects, formability, weldability, surface/paint issues, dimensional or structural concerns tied to material properties).
     
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Purchasing, Materials Engineering, Stamping/ME, Supply Chain, and plant SQE teams to manage risk and enable sourcing, launches, and cost initiatives.
  • Participate in or lead cross‑functional reviews (e.g., aluminum/steel core teams, GRA read‑across, Non‑Fab task forces ) to share lessons learned and drive systemic improvements.
  • Support GCLs/GPLs with data and Non‑Fab perspective for GRA, warranty, and commodity reviews as requested.
  • For SPPS requiring material lab analysis, lead timely completion by removing roadblocks and applying appropriate pressure on suppliers and other appropriate stakeholders to completion
     
• Continuous Improvement & Compliance
  • Identify and drive continuous improvement opportunities at suppliers and within GM processes for Non‑Fab materials (e.g., process capability, error‑proofing, inspection, data visibility).
  • Ensure mills have a current IATF 16949 or ISO 9001 quality system certificate, or a documented action plan actively driving toward certification.
     
• Conduct targeted audits of raw material mills to identify gaps and drive corrective actions through to closure.
• Ensure supplier and internal adherence to GM safety, ethics, and compliance expectations , including documentation and record retention requirements.
• Contribute to training, mentoring, and job‑shadow activities to build Non‑Fab capability within SQ and plant organizations.
   

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):  

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Metallurgy, or related technical field , or equivalent technical experience.
• Experience in supplier quality, manufacturing, stamping, materials engineering, or related automotive environment .
• Working knowledge of key quality tools: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, control plans, MSA, SPC, 8D problem solving .
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, material specifications, and CG/STD requirements .
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional teams .
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to influence suppliers and internal stakeholders.
   

What Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):  

• Direct experience with steel and/or aluminum mills, service centers, or blanking operations .
• Familiarity with GM GSQD processes , CG standards, and systems (e.g., SPPS, PRTS, GRA dashboards, QPR ).
• Prior experience as a Supplier Quality Engineer, Materials Engineer, or Stamping/ME engineer in an automotive setting.
• Demonstrated success in managing complex quality issues, launches, and multi‑site stakeholders .
• Proficiency with common data and office tools (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, quality dashboards).
   

GM Behaviors & Expectations

• Own the Outcome: Takes end‑to‑end ownership of supplier performance, SPPS, PRRs, and QRD actions, including transparent reporting even when metrics are not green.
• Commit to the Customer: Champions material quality and robustness to protect our customers and plants from defects and disruptions.
• Lead as One Team: Collaborates across SQ, Purchasing, ME, Materials, Supply Chain, and plants to achieve enterprise outcomes.
• Innovate Now: Looks for new ways to improve Non‑Fab processes, standards, and tools, including use of data and digital dashboards.
