Job summary

GM Performance Power Units seeks a senior engineer to lead the integration of the MGU within a hybrid F1 powertrain, driving cross-disciplinary collaboration to maximize power density, efficiency and race reliability.

You will oversee prototype development, dynamometer testing, and data-driven iterations to validate race-ready solutions while ensuring compliance with FIA F1 rules and safety interfaces.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or related field) required.
• 8+ years in high-speed electric motors, motorsport ERS, or hybrid powertrains; Master/PhD with 5+ years preferred.
• Expertise in CAD (NX preferred), CAE/FEA, and PLM (Teamcenter) for e-motor structural and thermal simulations.
• Experience with rotor-stator integration, high-speed dynamics, bearing selection, vibration mitigation, and FIA F1 power unit regulations.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-disciplinary teams—electromagnetics, mechanical design, thermal, controls, and manufacturing—to optimize the MGU in the hybrid powertrain.
• Oversee prototype development, dynamometer testing, and data-driven iterations for race-ready solutions.
• Direct design reviews, FMEA, documentation, and FIA F1 regulatory compliance for MGU power, weight, RPM limits, and safety interfaces.
• Drive research into next-gen materials, manufacturing advances, and DFM/DFA for scalable e-motor production.
