Job summary

GM Performance Power Units LLC in Concord, NC seeks a Power Unit Assembly Specification Coordinator to define, control, and release build specifications for ICE/ERS assemblies and interfaces. You will ensure traceability, conformance to FIA requirements, and alignment with production and race-use plans.

The role acts as the configuration focal point among Program Management, Engineering, Design, Assembly, Testing, Quality, and Supply Chain, delivering clear, buildable definitions on time.

Qualifications

• Experience in configuration management, product definition, assembly specification, BOM management, production engineering, or a comparable role in motorsport, automotive, aerospace, or another highly controlled engineering environment.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the assembly specifications for complete major ICE/ERS assemblies in line with the production, test, and race-use plans.
• Translate program priorities, engineering releases, component availability, mileage or life constraints, and assembly requirements into an unambiguous build definition for each unit.
• Coordinate the definition and material readiness for each build specification, including new, used, reworked, or carry-over parts where applicable.
• Assess the impact of engineering change on active and planned assembly specifications including identifying any affected inventory and impact on plans or timing.
• Prepare and lead regular configuration and specification reviews, highlighting open decisions, release gaps, maturity risks, and potential impacts to build or test timing.
• Maintain and communicate the digital thread including authoritative build specification and associated configuration records in the relevant PLM/ERP systems, ensuring consistency between the engineering BOM, assembly BOM, shop orders, and as-built configuration(s).
• Verify that design changes, deviations, concessions, and temporary solutions are formally approved and correctly incorporated before specification release.
• Work closely with the Operations team to confirm that the specification is buildable, appropriately sequenced, and compatible with tooling, test-bench, installation, and commissioning constraints.
• Participate in release readiness, build readiness, reliability, and planning reviews that may affect assembly content or timing.
• Guarantee the conformity and traceability of operational Power Unit specifications against the applicable FIA dossier, homologated definition, and internal configuration-control requirements.
• Support investigation and resolution of configuration discrepancies identified during kitting, assembly, inspection, testing, or post-build reconciliation.
• Issue clear specification status and risk summaries to the Operations and Program teams, with owners and required decision dates for unresolved items.
• Drive continuous improvement of specification, nomenclature, configuration-control, and cross-functional handover processes, including clear ownership and writing rules.
