Vehicle Systems Engineer – Chassis,Thermal and Propulsion Integration Job Columbia area,Missouri USA,Engineering

Serve as the central integrator for Chassis, Thermal, and Propulsion Integration systems, ensuring alignment across vehicle interfaces, subsystem boundaries, and program imperatives.
Lead CTPI mission, risks, and imperatives through the GVDP lifecycle, ensuring all work supports SOR, TKO, VDC and PRTS metrics.
Lead structured problem solving, trade‑off analysis, and cross‑system decision framing.
Define “What‑must‑be‑true” conditions, develop contingency paths, and make timely recommendations to protect program health.
Deliver clear, concise executive‑ready communication—written, verbal, and visual.
Drive alignment through consistent communication to DREs, EGMs, integration teams, and program leadership.
Align stakeholders with overlapping or conflicting objectives; negotiate feasible solutions balancing cost, mass, thermal performance, chassis targets, manufacturability, and timing.
Remove roadblocks proactively and secure cross‑functional agreement on key technical decisions.
Prioritize and push back appropriately on scope; delegate efficiently to maximize clarity and speed.
Own CTPI PIM tracking and reduction efforts—Mass, BEC, PN—and tie all actions directly to key program metrics.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Electrical, or related engineering discipline (Master’s preferred).
Preferred 5 years of experience in Chassis, Thermal, Propulsion Integration, or related systems engineering roles.
Demonstrated understanding of subsystem interactions—e.g., suspension/chassis kinematics, thermal loops, heat exchangers, powertrain mounting, airflow systems, or control interfaces.
Strong track record in technical communication, influencing, and cross‑functional leadership.
Proven experience in structured problem solving, risk management, and decision framing.
Familiarity with GM program processes, PIM, PCCR, eMerge, GVDP milestones, and integration checkpoints.
Demonstrated ability to work across high ambiguity with clarity, ownership, and urgency.
Consistent demonstration of GM Behaviors including integrity, collaboration, curiosity, resilience, communication, and accountability.
