설명

The Role:

As a GPS ME Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you'll work alongside world-class engineers to help shape how General Motors builds the propulsion systems that define the future of mobility, from high-voltage electric motors and battery systems to precision-machined transmissions and drive units. This is not a passive internship: you'll be embedded in real project teams, contributing to active programs with genuine deadlines and tangible impact. Depending on your assignment, you may find yourself on a plant floor qualifying new equipment, in a process development lab optimizing a manufacturing technique, or at a virtual engineering workstation designing the factory of tomorrow. You'll collaborate across engineering disciplines, interact with product teams, and experience how large-scale manufacturing decisions get made at one of the world's leading automakers. This role offers a GPS-wide experience, giving you exposure to multiple propulsion technology areas across the summer.

The Team:

General Motors' Global Propulsion Systems Manufacturing Engineering (GPS ME) organization is at the heart of how GM brings its most critical technologies to life on the factory floor. Our team designs, develops, procures, and implements the manufacturing systems that power GM vehicles worldwide, spanning Transmissions, Drive Units, Electric Motors, Engines, Castings, Battery and Energy Storage Systems, and Fuel Cells. With sub-organizations dedicated to Drive Units, Transmissions & eMotors, Engines & Castings, Cells & Battery Systems, Standards & Launch Excellence, and Business Process & Continuous Improvement, GPS ME touches every corner of GM's propulsion portfolio.

What You'll Do:

  • Support manufacturing process development by researching, testing, and optimizing assembly or fabrication processes for propulsion components such as electric motors, drive units, transmissions, or battery systems in a lab or plant environment.

  • Contribute to equipment launch activities by assisting with installation, debugging, and qualification of manufacturing equipment, and helping document results to meet program launch metrics.

  • Apply lean manufacturing principles by analyzing production line throughput, identifying waste, and supporting the development or improvement of standardized work documentation.

  • Use virtual engineering tools to create or refine 3D process layouts, simulation models, or CAD/CAM work instructions that support manufacturing planning and equipment design.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Engineering, Quality, and Plant Operations, to solve active manufacturing quality or scrap issues tied to process or design root causes.

  • Participate in structured problem-solving activities at manufacturing sites, applying engineering methodologies to identify defect root causes and recommend corrective actions.

  • Develop and present engineering deliverables, including technical reports, process documentation, or project updates, to engineering leads and program stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related technical field.

  • Must be graduating between December 2027 and June 2029

  • Strong foundational knowledge of engineering principles, including mechanics, materials, or manufacturing processes, gained through coursework or project experience.

  • Demonstrated ability to analyze data and solve problems systematically; comfortable drawing conclusions from test results, data sets, or observations.

  • Effective communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to a diverse audience.

  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment while also managing individual tasks and deliverables independently.

  • Willingness and ability to travel to and work at GM manufacturing plants or technical labs as required by the internship assignment (travel is assignment-dependent; not all roles require travel).

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Hands-on experience with CAD software (e.g., NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD) or manufacturing simulation and digital tools.

  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing concepts, such as value stream mapping, standardized work, or Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), through coursework, club involvement, or prior work experience.

  • Prior internship, co-op, or research experience in a manufacturing, automotive, or industrial engineering environment.

  • Exposure to electric vehicle or propulsion technologies, including electric motors, power electronics, battery systems, or drivetrain components, through coursework or personal projects.

  • Experience with data analysis tools such as Microsoft Excel (advanced), Python, MATLAB, or Minitab for engineering or process analysis.

  • Participation in engineering competitions or student organizations (e.g., SAE, Formula SAE, Baja SAE, robotics teams) that demonstrate applied engineering problem-solving.

  • Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and manufacturing tolerance principles.

  • Familiarity with quality tools such as 8D problem solving, cause-and-effect analysis, or statistical process control.

GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role. Do not apply for this role if you will need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc.) 

Work Arrangement

Onsite: This role is categorized as onsite. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, MI (or assigned location) on a full-time basis. May also have opportunities to work at GM manufacturing sites and technical labs.

GM will provide a one-time lump sum taxable stipend payment to eligible students selected for the 2026 Student Program.​

To help facilitate administration of relocation benefits if you are selected, please apply using the permanent address you would move from.

Start dates for this internship role are May & June of 2027.
