The Underbody Process Engineering Standards Specialist - Machining will develop, validate, deploy, and maintain advanced manufacturing process specifications, standards, and process sheets for propulsion systems machining across North America. Working through simultaneous engineering with Product Engineering, Industrial Strategy, Quality, plant engineering, tooling, and equipment suppliers, the role will translate product requirements into robust machining concepts, process flows, equipment and tooling specifications, and design-to-manufacturing rules. Near term, the role will also develop advanced machining process cost estimates, assumptions, and methods. This responsibility will transition to Industrial Strategy once the applicable standards, documentation, estimating methods, and formal handoff requirements are established.
The Underbody Process Engineering Standards Specialist-Machining will be responsible for the creation, validation, deployment, and maintenance of machining process standards and specifications, including:
Single point referent for North America in collaborating with global Machining to contribute towards machining standards communization/communication of unique requirements for North America where applicable
Develop and maintain propulsion machining process specifications, standards, design-to-manufacturing rules, process sheets, and standard process flows
Lead advanced machining process development, prototype trials, validation, and continuous improvement for engine, transmission, e-Drive, and e-Motor components
Translate product characteristics and quality requirements into machining operations, datum strategies, equipment, tooling, gauging, automation, material handling, coolant, filtration, and facility requirements
Define process parameters, capability targets, validation criteria, and standard assumptions for cycle time, tool life, scrap, quality, labor, and throughput
Develop near-term advanced machining process cost estimates, investment assumptions, and standard estimating methods
Establish the documentation, readiness criteria, and formal handoff required to transition advanced process costing responsibility to Industrial Strategy
Support product and process feasibility, tolerance reviews, PFMEA development, process capability analysis, and design-to-manufacturing workshops
Develop concept layouts and process representations and support equipment supplier assessments, technical evaluations, and capability verification
Analyze process variation, lead structured problem solving, and coordinate corrective actions during process development and equipment qualification
Identify DTM opportunities to improve investment, piece cost, quality, maintainability, and throughput
Prepare governed standards, specifications, process sheets, process proposals, cost assumptions, and open-item documentation for handoff to UPE execution teams
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree
Minimum 10 years of automotive manufacturing or project experience focused on propulsion machining systems
Experience developing machining process specifications, standards, process sheets, advanced concepts, and early process cost estimates
Experience leading machining process development, validation, equipment qualification, industrialization handoff, and launch support
Experience supporting new product and process introductions from advanced definition through RFQ, sourcing, commissioning, launch, and execution handoff
Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to communicate with executive and senior management
Strong team collaboration skills
Ability to travel 10-20% to Propulsion Division plants and suppliers
Preferred Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in engineering; mechanical preferred, electrical or industrial acceptable
Minimum (FINE) 5 years of machining process engineering or industrial project management experience
Familiarity with 3D design, process simulation, Teamcenter Visualization, and manufacturing data analysis
Familiarity with propulsion machining processes and equipment, including CNC machining, transfer lines, honing, grinding, deburring, washing, leak testing, gauging, tooling, coolant, filtration, traceability, and error proofing
