Job Description

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

If you’re ready to grow, thrive, and make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you. 

WHY: You will enable plants to achieve world-class EFTQ, electrical performance, and SDV readiness by turning complex plant and electrical data into actionable insights and training that improve quality, efficiency, and cost on the plant floor.

WHAT: You will lead the design, delivery, and adoption of AI, analytics, and training solutions that transform plant and electrical data into practical, easy-to-use tools for manufacturing teams.

HOW: As the AI Engagement Lead, you will succeed in this role by partnering with plant and electrical stakeholders to prioritize high-value use cases, architect scalable AI and data solutions, and deliver hands-on training that embeds these tools into daily decision-making.
