Optimize suspension and steering kinematics and compliance
Virtually integrate chassis tuning parts to meet ride, handling, and steering targets
Collaborate to optimize structure and manage loads at key interfaces
Integrate active control systems into performance simulations
Model Framework and Capability Development
Develop and maintain the cross‑functional vehicle dynamics master model framework and co‑simulation packages
Use data management tools to integrate 1D data and control systems into simulation workflows
Continuously improve the fidelity of chassis subsystems and full vehicle models
Advance virtual development by creating new load cases and collaborating with test teams to reduce reliance on hardware‑based methods
Collaboration & Leadership
Work effectively across functions and cultures to build strong partnerships
Communicate, influence, and motivate teams to deliver world‑class designs and integration
Mentor and coach team members, providing guidance and support
Influence without direct authority, manage ambiguity, and resolve conflicts to achieve goals
Values & Global Engagement
Promote GM values and make customer‑focused decisions
Collaborate with global partners to enhance product design and simulation capabilities
Demonstrate ownership and strategic thinking
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Mathematics, Science or closely related field of study
5+ years of relevant experience in the automotive, aircraft, construction, or related industries
Experience applying computational methods to solve engineering problems
Proficient in scripting languages such as MATLAB or Python to automate and analyze simulations
Demonstrated ability to work in teams, balancing technical theory with practical limitations
Strong oral and written communication skills
Demonstrated creative and independent thinking
This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
Preferred Qualifications
MS or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Software, Computer Engineering or closely related field of study
Familiarity with multibody and/or controls integration CAE tools such as Simpack, ADAMS, MotionView, Carsim, Carmaker, Matlab/Simulink, dSpace VEOS, GitHub and other similar tools
Advanced project or thesis work in vehicle dynamics and/or multibody dynamics modeling
Practical automotive experience – building, restoring, modifying; performance driving schools
Participation in automotive teams – Mini‑Baja, Formula SAE, PACE, Eco‑Car, etc.
