Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Transmission/Drive unit assembly

at  General Motors

YOUR SKILLS & ABILITIES:

• 5 + years of professional manufacturing engineering industry experience
• Ability to interpret Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Experience with design and development lifecycle tools such as Teamcenter, VisMockup, and CAD.
• Understanding of industrial assembly tooling/equipment such as DC fastening systems, leak test systems, electric test station and servo press systems.
• Experience documenting requirements (SORs) for external quotation (RFQs) for assembly systems, tools, and technologies, including hand and fastening tools and Autoload and Unload robotics parts.
• Demonstrated ability to decompose product designs into assembly process steps, processes, and sequence of operations, include automatic, robotic, and manual interactions (human operated machine).
• Professional experience developing process failure mode and effects analyses (D/PFMEAs).
• Knowledge of system qualification methods, CPK measurements and statical acceptance to support equipment runoff (MARO) and production parts approval process (PPAP) activities.
• Demonstrated abili to implement lean manufacturing principles.
• Experience with Teamcenter manufacturing process planning (MPP) to verify the correct implementation of assembly process.
• Bachelor’s degree (Engineering preferred) or equivalent training.

THE ROLE

The Process Engineer will be responsible for Transmission and Drive Unit Assembly projects. The GPS M.E. Process Engineering primary responsibility is to ‘get the process right’ and deliver assembly systems that enable a flawless launch and can be manufactured at the lowest total enterprise cost.
The primary responsibility will be to source, design, build and qualify the assembly process and equipment, from initial design to implementation in the manufacturing site. The Process Engineer will be required to work in a cross functional team environment (product engineering, manufacturing operations, execution engineering, maintenance, industrial engineering, plant engineering, throughput simulation, layout, planning, quality).

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Analyze and implement product or machinery designs for the best methods for manufacturing processes
• Propose and evaluate the processes for equipment in assigned area.
• Direct the design, integration of assembly systems and support plant installation.
• Successful launch of new assembly systems and work on continuous improvement of equipment and tools required in plants to produce high-quality parts.
• Monitor expenditures and timing for the program and/or equipment, ensuring spending stays within allocated budget.
• Provide technical direction to and coordination of less experienced process engineers.
• Provide technical direction to and oversight of outside vendor sources.
• Responsible for supporting activities that will include Project management for large (or substantial portions of) projects for Transmission /Drive unit Assembly Equipment.
• Support prototype builds through development of the processes, tooling, and equipment all while working with product engineering to refine designs for manufacturing.
• Ensure that all GM Global Powertrain Development Process (GPDP) quality gate milestones are implemented for BEV3 EDU programs.
• Implement the production manufacturing process for new products.
• Develop and test advanced process technology.
• Achieve business results by creating a work environment that fosters a positive, safe, and inclusive culture based on feedback and recognition.
