In this key role, your responsibility will include strategy definition and manufacturing engineering leadership throughout a new model development program. This will involve the application of lean manufacturing principles to ensure the highest quality, most efficient processes and products possible. You will:

* Lead an energetic team of facilities engineers through process and investment optimization.

* Balance lean manufacturing principles with new technology at various capacity levels.

* Provide engineering leadership through upfront cost studies for new model vehicles.

* Lead the development of tooling and facilities master layouts based on product and process.

* Support the commodity teams through Bodyshop development balancing new product equipment requirements with real world process capability and optimization.

* Lead the lesson learned feedback loop to drive process / product design improvements.

* Develop and manage relations with our tooling vendors for future model tooling.

* Maintain oversight from the point of creating our statement of work through tool buyoff.

* Drive resolution of manufacturing issues.

* Validate manufacturing feasibility for throughput, future model flexibility, and sustainability.

* Work with minimal direct supervision
