This role provides strategic and technical leadership for all launch, model year change, and current production activities, ensuring seamless integration of manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, facilities, and product requirements.

Lead a team of manufacturing engineers and contractors responsible for developing manufacturing processes, designing and implementing equipment and tooling solutions, managing equipment integration and plant installation, and supporting launch execution through steady-state production. Success in this role requires effective utilization of people, materials, equipment, and facilities to achieve flawless program execution, operational excellence, and production readiness.

Work is performed both in a centralized manufacturing engineering environment and within the assembly plant, requiring a high degree of independent judgment, technical expertise, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

  • Lead identification, escalation, containment, and resolution of launch and current production issues, ensuring timely communication and effective closure plans.

  • Serve as the primary manufacturing engineering representative at the plant, coordinating activities between plant operations, execution teams, product engineering, suppliers, quality, maintenance, and leadership.

  • Facilitate weekly Resident Engineering reviews with plant and program teams to prioritize issues, review timing, and align support requirements.

  • Lead all manufacturing engineering activities for new vehicle programs, model year changes, and current production within assigned areas.

  • Define and manage all areas of change, including product requirements, tooling, equipment, workstation layouts, facilities, and manufacturing processes.

  • Lead teams of manufacturing engineers, contractors, and suppliers through project execution from concept development through production implementation.

  • Manage day-to-day activities and performance of direct and indirect reports, including goal setting, coaching, development planning, and performance management.

  • Mentor and develop engineering talent while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

  • Participate in talent selection, succession planning, performance reviews, promotions, and merit recommendations.

  • Drive manufacturing readiness and efficient material flow strategies to support production requirements and future program needs.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to develop standardized processes, tooling strategies, and best practices across departments.

  • Support Manufacturing Process Strategy (MPS) studies and cost development activities in partnership with Industrial Engineering and Process teams.

  • Develop and manage tooling Statements of Requirements (SORs).

  • Lead equipment sourcing, delivery, installation planning, and launch execution activities.

  • Provide technical leadership and oversight to suppliers, integrators, and external vendor partners.

  • Oversee equipment design, construction, integration, installation, launch validation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Support vehicle build events and critical launch milestones within the plant.

  • Drive rapid response and resolution of launch-related concerns to protect program timing and production throughput.

  • Manage project spending, forecasts, and financial performance to ensure alignment with approved budgets.

  • Lead deviation request reviews and support decision-making with manufacturing and operations leadership.

  • Lead Safety Observation Tours and drive a strong culture of safety throughout project execution and production support activities.

  • Facilitate Zone Integration Planning meetings, including installation planning, phasing strategies, pull-ahead opportunities, conveyance integration, and production readiness activities.

  • Ensure timely completion of all manufacturing engineering deliverables required to support flawless launch execution and launch team release.

  • Support weekend, off-shift, and travel requirements as necessary to support launch activities, production needs, and program milestones.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.

  • 5+ years of manufacturing, engineering, launch, or operations experience within a manufacturing environment.

  • Experience supporting product launches, model year changes, or major manufacturing program implementations.

  • Strong technical knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, automation, and process engineering principles.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex manufacturing projects and drive execution through cross-functional collaboration.

  • Proven experience leading, coaching, or coordinating engineering teams, contractors, suppliers, and other technical stakeholders.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.

  • Ability to work weekends, off-shifts, and travel as required to support launch and production activities.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • 2+ years of launch experience supporting vehicle programs or major manufacturing implementations.

  • Previous experience in a Resident Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Execution Zone, or Launch Leadership role.

  • Experience leading direct reports in a manufacturing or engineering environment.

  • Extensive knowledge of GM Manufacturing, Safety, and Design Standards.

  • Experience supporting assembly plant operations and launch execution in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
