Position Summary:
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 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.
• PRS triage 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 and TEQ 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 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 at SHAP. Match technical resources to plant priorities, facilitate on-site support, maintain stakeholder communication, and escalate gaps that threaten build or production objectives.

 
Required Qualifications:
