About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Serve as the central integrator for Chassis, Thermal, and Propulsion Integration systems, ensuring alignment across vehicle interfaces, subsystem boundaries, and program imperatives.
- Lead CTPI mission, risks, and imperatives through the GVDP lifecycle, ensuring all work supports SOR, TKO, VDC and PRTS metrics.
- Lead structured problem solving, trade‑off analysis, and cross‑system decision framing.
- Define “What-must‑be‑true” conditions, develop contingency paths, and make timely recommendations to protect program health.
- Deliver clear, concise, executive‑ready communication—written, verbal, and visual.
- Drive alignment through consistent communication to DREs, EGMs, integration teams, and program leadership.
- Align stakeholders with overlapping or conflicting objectives; negotiate feasible solutions balancing cost, mass, thermal performance, chassis targets, manufacturability, and timing.
- Remove roadblocks proactively and secure cross‑functional agreement on key technical decisions.
- Prioritize and push back appropriately on scope; delegate efficiently to maximize clarity and speed.
- Own CTPI PIM tracking and reduction efforts—Mass, BEC, PN—and tie all actions directly to key program metrics.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Electrical, or related engineering discipline (Master’s preferred).
- Preferred 5 years of experience in Chassis, Thermal, Propulsion Integration, or related systems engineering roles.
- Demonstrated understanding of subsystem interactions—e.g., suspension/chassis kinematics, thermal loops, heat exchangers, powertrain mounting, airflow systems, or control interfaces.
- Strong track record in technical communication, influencing, and cross-functional leadership.
- Proven experience in structured problem solving, risk management, and decision framing.
- Familiarity with GM program processes, PIM, PCCR, eMerge, GVDP milestones, and integration checkpoints.
- Demonstrated ability to work across high ambiguity with clarity, ownership, and urgency.
- Consistent demonstration of GM Behaviors including integrity, collaboration, curiosity, resilience, communication, and accountability.
