About the role
Job Description At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale. Work Arrangement This role requires regular work in an active processing-center environment and direct collaboration with Operations personnel. Occasional travel, extended onsite support, or work outside standard hours may be required to support operational trials, installations, implementations, or launches. The Role General Motors is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer – Industrial and Process Engineering to improve the safety, efficiency, capacity, and scalability of operations at the Davison Road Processing Center. This role combines industrial engineering expertise with hands-on process engineering, continuous improvement, and new-project development. You will design effective workstations and material-flow processes, conduct standard-time and work-measurement studies, develop accurate standardized work, and lead improvements from problem definition through implementation and sustainment. You will also translate operational needs into practical engineering concepts, requirements, estimates, implementation plans, and measurable outcomes. This is an individual-contributor role for an engineer who can exercise independent judgment, apply strong technical depth, and lead cross-functional work without direct authority. You will serve as a trusted technical partner to Operations and help build capability across the engineering and operating teams. What You’ll Do Industrial engineering and standardized work • Design, evaluate, and improve workstations, processes, layouts, and material-flow solutions for processing-center operations. • Conduct Standard Time Data System (STDS) time studies, work measurement, method studies, and work-combination analyses to establish labor and capacity requirements. • Develop labor plans, staffing models, process-balance recommendations, capacity analyses, and throughput-improvement plans. • Create, update, and validate Job Element Sheets (JES), Standard Operation Sheets (SOS), and related standardized-work documentation. • Confirm that documented methods accurately reflect work performed and meet safety, quality, ergonomic, productivity, and material-flow requirements. • Perform ergonomic reviews and incorporate operator feedback into workstation, tooling, equipment, and process designs. • Maintain engineering data and documentation so standards, layouts, time studies, and operating methods remain current and traceable. Process engineering and continuous improvement • Analyze current-state processes to identify waste, bottlenecks, variation, unnecessary motion, quality risks, and capacity constraints. • Lead structured problem solving and continuous-improvement activities using data, direct observation, root-cause analysis, and Lean manufacturing principles. • Develop future-state process concepts and lead implementation plans that improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, productivity, and employee experience. • Evaluate alternative process, equipment, tooling, technology, and material-handling solutions and recommend the best overall value. • Partner with Operations leaders, hourly employees, Quality, Safety, Maintenance, Facilities, Information Technology, Automation, and suppliers to resolve issues and sustain im
