## Description

Global Manufacturing Electrical & SDV is looking for innovators who thrive in tough challenges and are passionate about tackling meaningful work that will shape the future of the automotive industry. This isn't a role for those looking for an easy path-it's for those who embrace change, push through obstacles, and take ownership of complex problems. While there will be long days and moments that test your resilience, you'll find purpose in your work, flexibility to prioritize your family, and the support of a people-first culture. If you're ready to grow, thrive, and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

WHY: Reduce vehicle yard holds and improve product quality by ensuring timely, accurate deployment of ECU software across manufacturing plants and yard operations-enabling vehicles to meet release and readiness targets.

WHAT: Lead a team responsible for executing ECU software deployment across GM manufacturing sites-owning planning, coordination, and execution to ensure consistent, high-quality results at scale.

HOW: Lead end-to-end deployment operations-planning events, resourcing teams, and overseeing execution across multiple sites-while partnering with engineering and manufacturing to resolve issues in real time, standardize processes, and continuously improve deployment performance.

This role is ideal for technical leads or supervisors with experience in vehicle diagnostics, ECU flashing, or manufacturing operations who enjoy leading teams in fast-paced, hands-on environments and driving execution across multiple sites.

Work Arrangement - Onsite

The successful candidate is expected to report to the GMNA plants, warehouses, and Warren Tech Center on a full-time basis. This role requires 50% or greater domestic and international travel.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

 * Lead reflash events across multiple GM manufacturing sites, ensuring execution readiness and quality outcomes.
 * Plan and coordinate reflash events in partnership with software and engineering teams, aligning timing to VeSCoM breakpoints and software release schedules.
 * Develop and execute reflash team resource plans, including staffing, deployment, and site-specific support across manufacturing locations.
 * Establish and manage the reflash environment at GM manufacturing sites, providing on-site leadership to GM team members and contractors during ECU reflashing activities.
 * Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and suppliers to understand current reflash processes and identify opportunities for standardization and continuous improvement.
 * Develop and deliver training sessions for new team members and contractors, supported by clear, standardized documentation and work instructions.
 * Promote a safe work environment and ensure full compliance with company policies, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
 * Foster a forward-thinking, inclusive work culture that embraces change and proactively prepares for future organizational and industry challenges.
 * Build, maintain, and strengthen strategic relationships across software, manufacturing, engineering, and program management organizations to align priorities and enable future innovation.
 * Provide day-to-day leadership, coaching, and guidance to team members and contractors, reinforcing accountability, engagement, and GM leadership behaviors., This role is categorized as onsite. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location on a full-time basis.
