Powertrain Project Manager

The Sub System Technical Manager serves as the on-site propulsion systems technical lead at Sterling Heights Assembly Plant. The role is accountable for integrating PRS hardware, software, and calibrations into plant operations; coordinating rapid triage and issue resolution; representing propulsion at key plant quality gates; and ensuring disciplined alignment among engineering, manufacturing, supplier quality, production control, and plant leadership. The position provides clear ownership for propulsion readiness from execution builds through production.

Primary Responsibilities
Plant integration of PRS (Powertrain Readiness System)components and software/calibrations: Lead the in-plant integration and readiness of PRS components, software, and calibrations. Confirm that hardware, software, flash content, and build timing are aligned for execution and production needs.
PRStriage leadership:Organize and maintain alignment with PRS triage for plant-based issues. Establish clear problem statements, priorities, owners, containment actions, escalation paths, and closure criteria.
Rolls, EOL, and audit representation: Represent propulsion systems for rolls testing, end-of-line activities, and audit findings. Ensure propulsion concerns are understood, documented, assigned, and driven to resolution.
Execution-build part sign-off: Coordinate and complete propulsion part sign-off at execution builds, including verification of correct parts, pedigree, fit, function, and issue disposition.
Plant flash-station software integration: Coordinate software and calibration integration into plant flash stations. Align content, release timing, validation status, station readiness, and recovery plans with the appropriate teams.
In-plant PER coordination: Coordinate plant-based PER activity, including engineering support, vehicle or part availability, execution timing, results capture, and follow-up actions. RMS(Reliability, Maintainability, and Safety) and TEQ (Technical Equipment Quality) issue resolution: Drive timely resolution of plant RMS and TEQ issues affecting propulsion, including supplier quality, manufacturing, and engineering concerns. Maintain cross-functional ownership through verified closure.
MLM(Material Logistics Management) and production control alignment: Ensure accurate and sufficient propulsion alignment within MLM and production control processes, including part readiness, software applicability, build instructions, breakpoints, and production timing.
Engineering engagement at the plant: Manage and coordinate engineering engagement. Match technical resources to plant priorities, facilitate on-site support, maintain stakeholder communication, and escalate gaps that threaten build or production
