The Role
The Manufacturing Technical Specialist (MTS) - General Assembly (GA) is responsible for defining and advancing enterprise-wide manufacturing strategies, standards, and emerging technologies. This role drives the development of scalable, lean manufacturing solutions that enable seamless integration of new vehicle designs into production systems.
Operating as a senior individual contributor, the Technical Specialist partners closely with Product Engineering, Advanced Product Development, and Global Manufacturing Engineering teams to translate product intent into robust, production-ready manufacturing processes. The role is highly strategic, focusing on enterprise innovations, Manufacturing Requirements (MR) governance, and cross-program standardization.
What You Will Do
Manufacturing Strategy & Technology Development
- Define and deploy global manufacturing strategies within Product Engineering System Management Teams (SMTs), ensuring alignment to enterprise priorities
- Develop and mature new manufacturing technologies and concepts—including automation and up-integration components—to improve production efficiency, reduce Manufacturing Cost per Unit (MCPU), and deliver enterprise-wide impact across multiple programs.
- Establish and govern Manufacturing Requirements (MRs) to support scalable and repeatable assembly processes
- Lead development of quality-capable manufacturing systems, including robust processes architectures
Product & Process Integration
- Ensure alignment between new product technologies and existing manufacturing systems, layouts, and standards
- Partner with Product Engineering (PE) to specify and implement KCDS and critical design requirements
- Represent Manufacture Engineering (ME) in DFMEA development to ensure manufacturability and risk mitigation
- Develop and maintain Level 1 PFMEA aligned to enterprise processes
Global Standards & Governance
- Serve as a core member of global expert teams and GSSLT, providing manufacturing insight and direction
- Author and maintain Statement of Requirements (SOR) Appendix E1 for global programs
- Review and disposition MR deviation requests, ensuring adherence to GA strategies
- Drive incorporation of lessons learned into global manufacturing standards and documentation
Continuous Improvement & Execution Support
- Support and coach PI (CME) teams in executing manufacturing strategies and ensuring compliance to defined ME requirements
- Identify and implement improvements through ATW and advanced manufacturing initiatives
- Provide technical direction on tooling, equipment, and assembly strategies
- Benchmark competitive products and processes to inform future-state manufacturing solutions that keep GM at the forefront of GA production efficiency, deliver the lowest possible MCPU, and maintain and enhance the outstanding quality of General Motors vehicles.
