Support build events and effectively address launch issues at the plant level.
Ensure all execution activities align with Global Manufacturing System (GMS) principles.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

4–7+ years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering, preferably within the automotive industry.
Experience supporting product launches or model changes in a production environment.
