I suppose while "GM engineers" were designing the Gen 3 - LS there were "Chevy engineers" being far less productive.. /or maybe not.
Obviously there were Chevrolet Engineers working on things like chassis, bodies, etc.
They are a vehicle line organization.

When GM Corporate dropped the individual Brand engineering and went with GM Powertrain Engineering Chevrolet no longer did Powertrain work. That seems to be the part you are missing. Ford is set up the same way. Ford has a Research Organization, Advanced Powertrain and Powertrain organizations and they do ALL of the Engine Transmission/Hybrid/Electric design and release work.

There are no Chevrolet Engineers doing Powertrain assignments any more. (unless they are motorsports type people doing niche market one off stuff.
