61 Rgbsi Program Management Jobs Hiring Near You

Responsibilities:
Cross-Functional Leadership and Global Footprint Alignment

• Drive, align, and facilitate core team activities across Engineering, Quality, Operations, Finance, and Procurement to meet critical project milestones without direct hierarchical authority.
• Lead and actively participate in OEM Hardware/Software Product Development Team (PDT) meetings, ensuring alignment on component architecture changes and design synchronization.
• Establish rigorous communication channels with international manufacturing facilities and offshore engineering centers to synchronize volume forecasting, resource capacity, and global build execution.
• Synthesize day-to-day operational status through routine core team alignments, supplier status evaluations, and emergency troubleshooting sessions.

Prototype Lifecycle and Material Risk Mitigation

• Own the end-to-end coordination of prototype build events (PPV, APPV, PTB), validating exact build allocations and securing commitments from customer assembly plants.
• Drive material pipeline de-risking; coordinate closely with Production Control and Logistics (PC&L) and international supplier networks to guarantee component pipeline security during parallel, high-volume prototyping and validation phases.
• Oversee the generation and tracking of Internal Build Intake Forms (BIF) across domestic and international manufacturing sites, ensuring facilities are aligned to execute build schedules.
• Drive component and procurement readiness by overseeing the creation of Purchase Requests (PRs) for specialized component fabrication, including prototype PCB suppliers.
• Verify exact material requirements, allocation quantities, and Material Required Dates (MRD) directly with Tier 1 modules and customer seat and assembly plants.

Engineering Change and Validation Management

• Govern the Engineering Change-Management (ECR / ECO) process, accurately assessing and negotiating financial, scheduling, and engineering impacts across all stakeholders.
• Proactively track and escalate delayed customer Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) with global technical centers (OEM North America and international engineering units) to secure timely software and drawing releases.
• Supervise Product Validation (PV) testing milestones, tracking raw material availability, test bench readiness, and supplier component lead times to prevent validation delays.
• Plan, track, and execute Non-Saleable (NS) PPAP timing events, ensuring compliance with customer-specific quality gates.

Program Governance and Customer Interface

• Act as the primary interface and escalation point for the OEM customer (GM) and key Tier 1 partners (Magna, Lear), securing the timely delivery of prototypes, validation components, and PPAP documentation.
• Utilize Microsoft Project and enterprise PPM tools daily to map project timelines, monitor the critical path, allocate cross functional capacity, and generate executive-level health dashboards for the PMO.
• Track, report, and optimize program KPIs including On-Time Delivery (OTD), budget variances, tooling health, and quality metrics.
• Proactively mitigate program risks - supply bottlenecks, plant capacity limitations, design changes - ensuring transparent escalation and recovery plan alignment with the PMO Leader before critical customer milestones are jeopardized.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of proven experience in Project or Program Management in a regulated manufacturing environment.
• 5+ years of direct experience in the automotive manufacturing industry.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with General Motors (GM), including deep knowledge of their launch metrics, portals, BIQS quality system, GP-12 containment, and customer-specific validation requirements.
• Experience managing programs or collaborating closely with Tier 1 suppliers such as Magna and Lear.
• Comprehensive understanding of automotive product launch frameworks: APQP, PPAP, FMEA (D-FMEA / P-FMEA), Control Plans, and V-Model / ASPICE lifecycles.
• Experience managing complex electrical architecture transitions - platform migrations, component-level hardware and software shifts, and Tier-N supplier modifications.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Project and enterprise lifecycle management and PPM tools for scheduling, critical path analysis, and resource management.
• Strong financial acumen with experience managing program budgets, tooling costs, and tracking project P&L

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechatronics, Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial) or Business Administration with a strong technical background.
