Job Description
Job Description
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren MI three times per week at minimum.
The Role
Energy and Propulsion Systems research is aimed at driving propulsion and vehicle efficiency cost and performance improvements. Research also focuses on advancing vehicle and propulsion systems development to target enterprise cost reduction through warranty improvement and engineering development efficiency.
Key technical area:
Advanced ICE-based Propulsion Systems (ICE/PHEV) driving innovation in traditional powertrain technologies
Propulsion system modeling including new techniques and methods as needed.
Propulsion system synthesis: development of system and subsystem with features and specifications to meet application metrics such as a vehicle technical specification. Scope includes improved ICE efficiency transmission and driveline innovations emissions and engine content reduction
Apply optimization techniques to assess and refine propulsion system performance and specifications
Breadboarding and integration of propulsion subsystem hardware elements for proof-of-concept demonstration where needed
Successful candidates will bring multi-physics expertise alongside cutting-edge optimization and AI techniques. You are inquisitive driven and an excellent collaborator and communicator. You have a strong passion for applied research and extensive knowledge in advanced propulsion systems energy electrical thermal and mechanical analysis and physics-aided optimization techniques including the latest in artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) approaches. You will identify develop and implement research and technology with disruptive value to GM in the key areas identified above.
What Youll Do
The role requires covering a wide-ranging diverse set of topics aimed at improving propulsion and vehicle system efficiency cost and quality. This includes the need for significant exploration and research in the following areas:
The state-of-the-art in ICE-based propulsion including engine transmission drivetrain propulsion system optimization for PHEV and HEV systems
Physics-guided optimization to develop multi-functional designs to achieve robust integration and drive out cost
