Performance Engineer – Vehicle Dynamics Center HiL Engineer

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 peopleas we aim to makedriving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale. The Role We are looking for a hard-working Vehicle Performance Engineer In this position you will be responsible for simulating Vehicle Dynamics Performance, in one of the teams (Brakes, Steering, Chassis Controls, etc.) with XiL (HiL - Hardware-in-the-Loop and SiL - Software-in-the-Loop) environments. This individual will be expected to take the lead on HiL Bench Execution for vehicle program(s). The candidate will be expected to learn and become proficient and self-sufficient in integrating key elements of vehicle dynamics systems into semi-virtual and fully virtual environments for the purpose of development and verification of vehicle level and subsystem level requirements for future vehicle programs. You will become a major contributor who has a high level of knowledge and understanding of the tools and techniques used in the virtual vehicle environment. You will work under the general direction of the supervisor but will be counted on for completing tasks and meeting goals throughout the vehicle development lifecycle. In this role you will be expected to learn and eventually own and mentor others working on your team. What You'll Do Establish working relationships with outside organizations (e.g. VMEC, S&S, VDDV) to facilitate not only elements of model construction, but also in the I/O communication needed to execute HiL and SiL Work with Vehicle Performance Owners (VPOs) to drive appropriate feature tests that may be outside of our traditional ICE/EV or CAN based architectures Apply HIL / SIL simulation to calibrate, develop, validate and assure federal regulatory compliance in your area (e.g. Electronic Stability Control) Develop and maintain Simulink-based simulation framework models, or components of them, that are the communication backbone of the xIL virtual environment. Design electrical interfaces, control systems and provide programming expertise to support development of HIL simulation capability. Provide technical direction to support personnel, train and facilitate bench calibration and development Coordinate requirements development with other activities Manage projects and assignments with high level of autonomy and accountability for results. Work in conjunction with other members of the VDC: driver-in-the-loop (DIL), Chassis Controls HiL, Steering HiL and Brake HiL. When needed, support product issues in your area to solve system safety issues, PRTSs, Development Issues, etc. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a related Engineering degree Minimum of 5 years of post-graduation engineering experience Minimum of 2 years of product development experience Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships with team members and customers to solve problems and resolve issues Valid driver’s license and ability to operate test vehicles Able and willing to travel. Typically, ranging from 1 to 3 weeks per year. What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications) Minimum of 2 years of controls engineering experience Minimum of 1 year of experience with Real Time Simulation (dSpace) Minimum of 1 year of experience with Matlab/Simulink Minimum of 1 year of experience with testing and/or validation Experience with data acquisition instrumentation Master of Science degree in a STEM field 4+ years of experience in product development 1+ years of experience in Chassis, Propulsion, N&V, Vehicle Dynamics, VDDV or Software Engineering Experience with Canalyzer or NeoVI Experience with fabrication Experience with Vehicle Dynamics Understanding of Software development process Understanding of Control Theory Strong understanding of major automotive subsystems Ability to learn new automotive technologies #J-18808-Ljbffr
