General Assembly Tolerance Simulation Lead

About the role

Lead cross-functional teams to ensure Body and Exterior Build Objectives, Interior Build Objectives, and Chassis Build/Functional Objectives are met. Work with PDO, Advanced Program, and Engineering teams early in the program timeline to use 3-D Tolerance Analysis to develop Product and Process Specifications that achieve finished vehicle Dimensional and Functional Objectives.

Develop and implement product and process countermeasures based on tolerance analysis in collaboration with cross-functional teams. Use 3D Tolerance Analysis to establish BIW and subassemblies tolerances, load and clearance studies for interior, and tolerance analysis to ensure Chassis decking, wheel alignment, and driveline alignment dimensional and functional objectives are met. Re-run tolerance analysis to confirm no degradation to Dimensional and Functional Objectives based on Supplier feedback.
