CAE Analysis Engineer Engine Performance & Calibration

Job DescriptionAt 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 RoleThis Engineer will be responsible for developing engine performance simulation and valvetrain analysis models using 1D virtual tools. Functions include model building, correlating and evaluation. You'll be managing multiple projects and providing technical insight into problem solving, leveraging the model results for hardware and calibration development.This position requires a fundamental understanding of combustion engines and the modeling approach via GT-SUITE 1D CFD Software. These engine models are the core estimation for performance and fuel efficiency for early vehicle architecture development. This role also leverages the large design of experiments and optimization using 1D modeling to solve complex and multivariable problems.What You'll DoDevelop 1D engine simulation models in GT-POWER of a wide variety of engine architectures with complete intake and exhaust systems for both Gasoline & Diesel engines.Simulate full and part load models focusing on torque, power and fuel consumptionProcess lab and model generated engine operating data (fuel mapping) into standardized formatExecute transient engine simulations to support engine control algorithm evaluation and/or development (HIL/SIL), and vehicle performance assessmentCreate Medium or Fast Running Models (MRM / FRM) to support controls development activitiesDevelop new and innovative analytical techniques to model engine technologies (boost devices, exhaust gas recirculation, variable valve lift, emission control systems, aftertreatment etc.) with emphasis on minimizing test data requirementsDevelop optimized valve lift profiles using parametric valvetrain design softwareProvide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis resultsParticipate in product design and development teams and regularly present analysis results to engineering peers and managementAppropriately distill 3D math data into 1D model geometry using the correct discretization techniquesCooperatively work with test engineers to develop and/or enhance laboratory procedures to validate system analysis resultsContribute to the development of post-processing and automation tools using MATLAB and/or PythonGenerate virtual data for or directly create calibrations for embedded engine controllerYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics3 years of propulsion simulation and/or virtual engineering experience5 years of engineering experienceFundamental understanding of combustion engines and the modeling approach via GT-SUITE 1D CFD SoftwareExperience with engine dynamometer testing and data analysisExcellent oral and written communication skillsHigh comfort with ambiguity, developing new capabilities, and creating new standard workHigh level of interpersonal skills to work effectively with othersWhat Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)Master of Science in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics5+ years experience with GT-POWER, WAVE, or similar softwareEngine calibration, controls and model-based calibration techniques.Engine testing and development experienceHigh level of analytical ability where problems are unusual and difficultProficient with MATLAB, Python, AVL software.Programming experience and/or a strong desire to learnThorough understanding and skills to work at high level in all phases of the vehicle development processThis role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.About GMOur vision is a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion and we embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer and more equitable for all.Why Join UsWe believe we all must make a choice every day – individually and collectively – to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture.
