The document summarizes the responsibilities of a Product Design Manager in the Engineering Department of GMV. The role involves leading 14 engineers across chassis, trim, and electrical groups; developing and validating new components; and localizing vehicles and technologies for the Andean market. Some key projects mentioned include developing a plastic fuel tank for the Aveo, integrating satellite telematics systems, and adapting vehicles to run on natural gas. The role also requires collaborating with various engineering centers, preparing technical documentation, assisting manufacturing, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
This document discusses CoffeeScript, a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It introduces CoffeeScript as a JavaScript compiler and domain specific language. The document explains that CoffeeScript makes JavaScript easier to maintain and allows code to be written standalone without libraries like Prototype or jQuery. It provides examples of a hello world program, Google chart example, and simple chat server with Node.js to demonstrate CoffeeScript. References and links are also included for further resources on CoffeeScript.
The candidate has over 15 years of experience in battery design, development, and validation for various automotive OEMs. As a product engineer, the candidate led the design and testing of batteries according to industry standards and worked closely with battery suppliers. The candidate also has experience in program management and led engineering teams to ensure vehicle integration and regulatory compliance.
General Motors Venezuela has an aggressive and oppositional organizational culture. It scores lowest in humanistic-encouraging norms. While GM Venezuela has been successful as the market leader, its culture emphasizes internal competition, criticism, and slow decision-making. To improve, GM Venezuela should focus on approval-seeking over opposition, empowering employees, collaborating globally, increasing innovation, listening more to employees/customers, and continually reinventing itself. The targets for cultural change include improving approval style, decreasing conventional norms, empowering employees, collaborating using global knowledge, increasing innovation, and listening more.
The document defines a hybrid vehicle as combining an internal combustion engine with an electric motor powered by batteries, merging features of gasoline and electric vehicles. It describes the key components of a hybrid system as the engine, electric motors, generators, inverter, power splitter, battery pack and electronics. Hybrid vehicles are classified based on their level of hybridization from idle-off capability and regenerative braking to full electric drive and extended battery electric range for plug-in hybrids. The types of hybrid drivetrains are series, parallel and parallel/series systems.
The Lean Startup method focuses on reducing the time between product iterations through validated learning about customers. It defines the unit of progress as validated learning rather than completing stages of production. This allows startups to test hypotheses through experiments and gain customer insights faster to minimize the total time to discover what customers want. Traditional assumptions like knowing customers and the future can destroy startups, so the Lean Startup validates assumptions through measurable results.

This document describes implementing Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to improve product development processes at three GM engineering centers in South America. It outlines the VSM process, including scoping the project, mapping the current state, designing a future state, and planning implementation. As an example, the document describes a VSM workshop conducted on the "product engineering" value stream to standardize processes, reduce times, and increase effectiveness from 30% to 90%.
The document discusses tips for being an effective recruiter. It suggests that recruiters should understand people and their professions. Recruiters must be aware of global fitment for each process, industry, and person. While recruitment processes are globally standardized, patterns differ locally. Recruiters should have broad awareness and be attentive to detail. They must understand the vision and mission for what they are recruiting and whom they are recruiting.
This document discusses lean project management principles. It defines lean systems and enterprises as emphasizing the prevention of waste and fostering continuous improvement. Lean thinking aims to deliver customer value with the least waste in the shortest time. Lean goals include improving quality and reducing waste, lead time, and costs. Lean principles specify value, identify value streams, emphasize flow, pull systems, and perfection. Lean project managers focus on eliminating waste in hand-offs between team members. Strong project chartering, seeing projects as value streams, and continuous learning are emphasized.
