Senior Tire Modeling and Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer

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. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s 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 RoleThe Tire Modeling and Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer leads the design and development of components and subsystems that critically impact vehicle dynamics performance and structural loads with a heavy focus on tire modeling and simulation. This role leverages advanced virtual tools and full-vehicle simulation packages to drive integration across vehicle dynamics and related disciplines. Engineers in this group have the opportunity to specialize in technical domains such as tire modeling, control system integration, and other simulation-driven areas that influence vehicle behavior. This posting is targeted at attracting talent specialized in the tire modeling domain. A strong emphasis is placed on the use of automation methods such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) to ensure efficient, scalable, and repeatable simulation workflows.What You’ll DoTire Modeling & SimulationDevelop, test, roll out industry leading tire modeling techniques to drive future OE tire and virtual vehicle design, development and validation for Ride, Handling, Steering and Loads.Virtually integrate tire models to meet ride, handling, and steering targetsCollaborate to optimize testing, modeling and implementation across GM’s virtual domainsLeverage FTire, MF-Tyre/MF-Swift and other industry leading tire fitting/modeling tools to advance our capabilitiesModel Framework and Capability DevelopmentDevelop and maintain the cross-functional vehicle dynamics master model framework and co-simulation packagesUse data management tools to integrate 1D data and control systems into simulation workflowsContinuously improve the fidelity of chassis subsystems and full vehicle modelsAdvance virtual development by creating new load cases and collaborating with test teams to reduce reliance on hardware-based methodsCollaboration & LeadershipWork effectively across functions and cultures to build strong partnershipsCommunicate, influence, and motivate teams to deliver world-class designs and integrationMentor and coach team members, providing guidance and supportInfluence without direct authority, manage ambiguity, and resolve conflicts to achieve goalsValues & Global EngagementPromote GM values and make customer-focused decisionsCollaborate with global partners to enhance product design and simulation capabilitiesDemonstrate ownership, strategic thinking, and sound decision-makingWhat You’ll Need (Required Qualifications)Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Math or Science or closely related field of study5 or more years of relevant experience focused on tires in the automotive, aircraft, construction, or related industriesExperience applying computational methods to solve engineering problemsProficient in using scripting languages such as MATLAB or Python to automate and analyze simulationsDemonstrated ability to work in teams, balancing technical theory with practical limitationsStrong oral and written communication skillsDemonstrate creative and independent thinkingWhat Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)MS or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Software, Computer Engineering closely related field of studyFamiliarity 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 tire testing, tire modeling/simulation, and/or multi body dynamics modeling.Practical automotive experience - Building, restoring, modifying; Performance driving schools.Participation in automotive teams - Mini-Baja, Formula SAE, PACE, Eco-Car, etc. GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role.
