Senior 12V/48V Electrical CAE Engineer | Hybrid

General Motors; Warren (MI); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

General Motors is seeking a Senior Electrical CAE Engineer to plan, develop, and run 1D models for 12V/48V architectures using Saber and related tools. You will build physics-based and co-simulation models to support controls development and calibration.

You will lead analysis capability development, create electro-thermal models for virtual strategies, and collaborate across teams to deliver robust designs and gate-ready results.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Controls Engineering or related.
• 5+ years of engineering experience in design, analysis, or testing of 12V/48V electrical systems or components.
• Proficient with Synopsys Saber simulator and MAST modeling language, plus electrical data‑analysis tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.
• Skilled in developing models for Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SiL) simulations and co‑simulation using FMUs.

Responsibilities

• Plan, develop, and execute 1D models of electrical components, subsystems, and full vehicle or product 12V/48V architectures using Saber and related tools.
• Develop physics-based and co-simulation models (including SiL) using MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, and FMUs.
• Lead development of new analysis capabilities for 12V/48V systems (e.g., battery models, distribution models, aggregator and other key component models).
• Build vehicle or product electrical and battery electro-thermal models to support virtual control strategies and calibration activities.
