MGU (E-Motor) Lead

GM Performance Power Units - Concord, NC Job Summary We’re seeking a performance drive MGU (Motor Generator Unit E-Motor) Lead to join our ERS (Energy Recovery System) Team in Concord, NC. In this critical leadership role, you’ll lead the design, integration, and optimization of the Motor Generator Unit (MGU) e-motor system, focusing on high-speed performance, efficiency, structural integrity, rotor-stator dynamics, thermal management, and mechanical reliability under extreme racing conditions. Collaborate with cross-functional teams in electromagnetics, mechanical design, power electronics, controls, thermal management, and manufacturing to optimize MGU packaging and performance within the hybrid powertrain while adhering to FIA technical regulations. Lead prototype validation, testing programs, and continuous improvements to deliver race-winning e-motor solutions essential for championship success. Key Responsibilities Establish technical requirements, performance targets, and development goals for MGU e-motor components, including rotors, stators, bearings, housings, and thermal interfaces. Lead cross-disciplinary teams—electromagnetics, mechanical design, thermal, controls, and advanced manufacturing—to integrate and optimize the MGU within the hybrid powertrain, ensuring maximum power density, efficiency, and race reliability. Oversee prototype development, dynamometer testing programs, and data-driven iterations guiding engineering functions to achieve validated, race-ready solutions. Direct design reviews, FMEA processes, documentation, and compliance with FIA F1 regulations on MGU power, weight, RPM limits, and safety interfaces. Foster innovation by driving research into next-gen materials (e.g., advanced composites, magnetic alloys), manufacturing advances, and DFM/DFA principles to enable scalable, high-quality e-motor production. Required Qualifications Bachelor's in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering (or related) with 8+ years in high-speed electric motors, motorsport ERS, or hybrid powertrains; Master's/PhD with 5+ years preferred. Expertise in CAD (NX preferred), CAE/FEA, and PLM (Teamcenter) for e-motor structural and thermal simulations. Proven experience with rotor-stator integration, high-speed dynamics, bearing selection, vibration mitigation, and FIA F1 power unit regulations. Preferred Qualifications Hands-on motorsport prototyping, dynamometer testing, and trackside support. Knowledge of advanced electromagnetic materials, high-precision manufacturing, and ML/DoE for motor optimization. GD&T standards, quality systems, and cross-functional leadership in fast-paced environments. Why Join Us You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and performance of a next-generation Formula 1 power unit. Our culture rewards precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of performance. #J-18808-Ljbffr GMPPU
