About the role

The Staff Integration Lead Engineer owns architecture-wide technical integration and execution across the Vehicle Closures program portfolio. This Level 8 individual-contributor role aligns engineering, design, manufacturing, dimensional, validation, quality, purchasing, supply chain, supplier, vehicle development, and launch teams to deliver coordinated, high-performing closure systems through technical influence rather than supervisory authority.

The role translates vehicle objectives, requirements, and engineering data into clear deliverables and timely decisions. As a key technical link between Vehicle Closures leadership and program teams, the engineer manages dependencies, anticipates risks, and drives issue resolution from concept through launch and post-launch learning, meeting timing, cost, quality, performance, and customer expectations.

What you'll do

  • Own technical integration across assigned closure systems, architectures, and vehicle families; establish priorities, ownership, review cadence, and escalation paths.
  • Maintain an integrated execution plan covering requirements, design maturity, release, tooling, builds, validation, manufacturing readiness, launch, and post-launch actions.
  • Integrate requirements for function, fit and finish, noise and vibration, sealing, water management, durability, safety, ergonomics, appearance, regulatory compliance, manufacturability, service, and customer experience.
  • Lead cross-functional technical workgroups and integration reviews; evaluate and approve technical content, plans, trade studies, changes, and decision records within the assigned scope.
  • Identify dependencies, critical-path activities, risks, and requirement gaps. Assign mitigation owners, use data and structured problem-solving, and escalate before commitments are affected.
  • Challenge requirements or technical direction when evidence indicates risk to safety, quality, customer outcomes, cost, timing, or performance.
  • Guide DREs and engineers while maintaining clear ownership of execution and release deliverables.
  • Lead physical and virtual integration from advanced development and prototype builds through production readiness and launch.
  • Serve as the first technical contact for closure-related launch issues, coordinating containment, root-cause analysis, recovery, and escalation.
  • Partner with manufacturing, plants, and suppliers to resolve technical issues and ensure feasible designs, capable processes, dimensional performance, and executable reaction plans.
  • Develop and govern technical standards, integration methods, decision logs, and lessons learned for reuse across programs.
  • Communicate status, risks, opportunities, decisions, and recovery plans through concise, fact-based program reviews.
  • Support resource and capacity planning by identifying technical workload needs and priority trade-offs.
  • Apply digital tools, analytics, simulation, visualization, and automation to improve decision speed, quality, and reuse.
  • Mentor engineers and program leads through coaching, technical reviews, and knowledge sharing to strengthen expertise and career development.

Required qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, manufacturing, or related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Significant experience leading complex automotive development, vehicle integration, and program execution across multiple launches and competing workstreams.
  • Experience with vehicle closure systems, such as doors, liftgates, decklids, hoods, latches, hinges, seals, windows, or related mechanisms.
  • Ability to make independent technical decisions and lead cross-functional work without direct authority.
  • Strong understanding of vehicle development, engineering release, validation, manufacturing readiness, and launch execution.
  • Experience translating requirements into executable plans and production-ready solutions, and resolving risks affecting safety, quality, customer expectations, cost, timing, performance, or manufacturability.
  • Strong analytical, planning, organizational, presentation, facilitation, and problem-solving skills, including managing ambiguity, resolving conflict, and communicating decisions to senior leaders.
  • Proficiency with Teamcenter, VisMockup, NX, workflow or ergonomics simulation, dimensional-quality tools, or comparable engineering systems.
  • Experience with Lean/Kaizen, Six Sigma, DFSS, DFMEA/PFMEA, PPAP/APQP, Red X, quality-plan execution, or cost reduction.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with DREs, studios, program teams, manufacturing, quality, validation, suppliers, plants, and technical leadership.
  • Ability to work primarily in Warren, Michigan, with travel to plants, suppliers, and other GM locations for program, build, and launch support.

Preferred qualifications

  • Advanced degree in engineering, business, or related field.
  • Additional experience in body structures, vehicle integration, design release, dimensional quality, validation, or launch.
  • Experience leading technical workgroups, integration reviews, change approval boards, issue-resolution teams, or architecture decisions.
  • Experience developing technical standard work, reusable methods, and engineering best practices.
  • Experience applying analytics, simulation, visualization, automation, or digital engineering tools to improve technical decisions.
  • Experience leading or supporting engineering or manufacturing automation projects.
  • Experience with supplier integration, tooling, manufacturing process development, and plant launch readiness.
  • Knowledge of GM product development, quality, launch, and change management processes.
