The Role
The Advanced Propulsion Engineering team at General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We aim to achieve an all-electric, zero-emissions world while advancing an equitable and inclusive transition to our carbon neutral future. Our team creates propulsion system solutions and technologies that are commercially viable and provide industry-leading performance on our journey to zero emissions. Components in focus for this role include high voltage batteries, drive units, electric motors, power electronics, and combustion engines. Technical areas in focus include cooling and heating performance, as well as battery thermal runaway.
In this role you will be responsible for developing propulsion thermal technology concepts into engineered solutions with proven cost, mass, and performance improvements. New ideas are evaluated for potential based on physics first-principles, and promising concepts will proceed into Advanced Technology Work (ATW) projects. As you progress through a project you will gain feedback from various internal customers to highlight risk areas, lay out plans to acquire the data needed to gain confidence in the technology, and execute that plan to prove that the new technology is ready to be put on a path to production.
We’re seeking an individual with a history of working in cross-functional engineering teams and successfully delivering technically-complex projects. This person will have the ability to distill ambiguous requests into a quantifiable customer impact, and to establish project deliverables and timelines to realize these impacts. A solid understanding of the first-principles of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics is essential. This person will use their skills to establish the fundamental learnings that drive GM’s propulsion technology forward.
