Launch & Change Coordination Co-Op Spring 2025

A good student experience is never hands-off. We believe in creating an environment where students really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why you are treated as part of the team from day one and are encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table. 

Description

This is a co-op position which requires commiting to three rotations (e. g. 1st rotation: spring, 2nd rotation: fall, 3rd rotation: summer).

 

The student will be exposed to new product content, involved in projects, and engage in collaborative department work.  The intent is to develop the candidate to lead their own project if possible. The Co-op will support the launch and change coordinators with activities to verify the bill of material and demand logic changes for vehicle production. The student’s projects will involve development and optimizing of data analytical systems to improve processes and reporting.

 

The Co-op should expect to support and improve the following:

•  Support Launch and Change Coordinators with engineering changes:
  • Create, manage, and validate component overviews for specific parts of the car
  • Contribute to Test Car BOM (Bill of Material) validation, where the new design changes are verified (i.e. the correct part is systematically steered to the correct vehicle)
  • Support the coordination of Line Trials, where new parts are physically tested in the production environment
  • Investigate design topics through data analysis
• Report generation and maintenance
• Major projects in this role focus on efficiency improvements and data accuracy, that could include:
  •   Implementing solutions to improve efficiency in the processes
  •   Complete various process mapping exercises (e.g., process flow, swim lane, etc.)
  • Create content overview for different vehicle modules
