The role also defines and maintains standardized processes to drive consistency, reliability, and productivity—contributing directly to GM’s operational excellence and long-term success.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

+ Lead and mentor a high-performing team of manufacturing experts, engineers, and business development professionals aligned with Global Electrical Lighthouse goals.

+ Drive adoption and integration of emerging manufacturing technologies and advanced electrical solutions for vehicle testing (in-process and end-of-line).
