Senior Electrical Systems Analysis (CAE) Engineer - 12V/48V

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 Role

The Senior Analysis Engineer is responsible for planning, developing, and executing one-dimensional models of electrical components, subsystems, and full vehicle architectures for 12V/48V electrical systems. This role requires a deep understanding of vehicle-level electrical systems and proficiency in simulation tools such as Synopsys Saber. The senior analysis engineer is also required to have experience is co-simulation and software in the loop (SiL) modeling using tools like Matlab, Simulink and Simscape. The analysis engineer needs to closely work with suppliers to get high fidelity 12V component models (e.g battery, IBS, aggregator, CCU etc).

The analysis engineer will create systems model, perform simulation, interpret and present simulation results to stakeholders at critical program milestones. Analysis engineer will be required to interact cross functionally with a wide variety of engineering teams (Electrical Architects, Co-simulation teams, Validation, Calibration and Design Release Engineers) to deliver standard work, perform root cause analysis, compare analytical results to tests, identify analytical gaps and lead capability projects to close these gaps.

What You'll Do

Lead effort to develop new analysis capabilities for 12V/48V electrical systems including, but not limited to, developing 12V battery model, 12V distribution model, aggregator model and other electrical components on the vehicle

Develop physics-based models for co-sim and software in the loop effort

Develop vehicle electrical and battery electro-thermal models to support virtual controls for Co-Sim and calibration initiatives

Perform standard analysis to deliver design solutions which are robust and reliable utilizing optimization and statistical methods when appropriate

Collaborate with global analysis engineers to ensure on time delivery of high-quality results

Lead and conduct peer reviews of analysis results prior to delivery to the product team

Work collaboratively with Electrical Architects, SiL teams and component hardware design teams to ensure system requirements are met, design concepts are evaluated, and development and validation plans are successful

Collaborate with other CAE teams to capture and integrate higher fidelity models into electrical system models

Support critical vehicle program gates with technical reviews (PPDRs, VVAs, Peer Reviews)

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Controls engineering

5+ yrs of engineering experience in design, analysis or testing of 12V/48V electrical system or components
