Job Summary
Job Description
At General Motors our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen but to be felt. Were turning todays impossible into tomorrows standard from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design intelligent software and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer smarter and more connected shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role
We are seeking aComputational Mechanicsand Computer Aided DesignResearcherto join ourDesign forX (DfX) team within Research & this role you will help shape the future of engineering design by developingAI poweredtools embedded directly intoour CAD workflow (Siemens NX) enabling engineers to create designs that areoptimizedfor performance manufacturability and quality before production begins.
This position sits at the intersection of computational geometry mechanics and artificial intelligence translating advanced research into practicalCAD nativeengineering capabilities used at scale.
JoiningR&Dwill provide you with the opportunity to work oncutting-edgetechnologies contribute to innovation and collaborate with a diverse team of experts. You will play a key role in advancing our capabilities and ensuring that ourproductsare at the forefront of the industry.
What Youll Do
Develop computational geometry and mechanics algorithmsthat reasondirectly on CAD models to support design evaluation and optimization.
Research and prototypeAIassistedgenerative design workflows that combinedata drivenmethods with physics andgeometry awarereasoning.
BuildCAD integratedsolutions within Siemens NX to enable pushbutton analysis design exploration and manufacturability checks.
Design andvalidatemethods that balancelearning basedapproaches with deterministic evaluation ensuring results are explainable and repeatable.
Collaborate withcross functionalpartners in R&D ManufacturingProductEngineeringandITto transition research concepts into scalable engineering tools.
Communicate research outcomes through technical reports demonstrations and presentations to engineering and leadership audiences.
