Architectural Engineer - GM Defense

The Role The GM Defense Architecture Systems Engineer is the advanced engineering resource that will work on engineering definition of incoming projects into GM Defense. The Architecture SE will work on new defense opportunities that the business development arm of GMD bring forward for analysis. The selected candidate will be responsible for the advanced system integration in a fast-paced environment on government programs as well as special projects. The role requires a combination of technical theory and hands-on skills with the confidence and ability to be self-directed in a small team environment. This person will focus on the advanced concepts/activities for potential deployment to one or more of GM Defense’s future vehicle platforms. This role will work with architecture SE's from multiple domain areas (Electrical, Propulsion/Electrification, Thermal, Survivability, Autonomous, Body, Interior, Chassis, etc.) to develop the entire vehicle design solution that meets the requirements of the Business Development proposal. In addition, key engagement is expected between the internal product owners and vehicle program management. We are seeking Architecture Systems Engineers for domain areas with priority in the areas of Chassis Arch. SE and Body/Interior Arch. Architecture SE. In addition, we are looking for Arch SE candidates whose skills cross broader domain areas of Survivability, Thermal, Electrical, and Hybrid/Electrification Propulsion Arch SE. What You'll Do Technology selection and supplier partnering for Advanced Systems Reducing government vehicle requirements into system solutions Defining architecture to support GMD applications Work with designer team to package components and support design studies as required to meet customer requirements. Help create vehicle strategies off of "commercial-off-the-shelf" and "newly created" system components that maximize performance and minimize investment Supporting early advanced system architecture development and integration. Adhere to all ITAR requirements (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) BS in Engineering or Computer Science 5+ years of engineering experience Advanced/Execution DRE, VSE and/or Architecture experience Strong interpersonal skills and proven ability to work with cross functional teams Understanding of engineering theory and principles of design.
