Descrizione del lavoro

General Motors is seeking a Safety Performance Integration Senior Engineer – Occupant Performance to lead front-line development of occupant protection and crashworthiness systems for GM vehicle programs within GPSSC. The role focuses on frontal impact performance and cross-functional integration across the vehicle development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate will apply independent judgment, drive safety performance, and coordinate with multiple engineering disciplines.

Competenze

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Physics from an accredited University.
• 5+ years of relevant post-graduate industry experience.
• Working knowledge of CAE and Validation tools: LS-DYNA, PRIMER, METAPOST, ANSA, HYPERWORKS, or other CAE tools.
• Knowledge of engineering theory and application in automotive development.
• Willingness to learn new skills and adapt expeditiously.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and with others.
• High level of analytical ability to solve challenging problems and to integrate complex systems.
• Knowledge of statistical and optimization tools and techniques.
• High level of interpersonal skills to work effectively with others.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Able to travel locally.

Mansioni

• Understand and apply GM Safety CAE standard work procedures for delivering quality models and simulation results.
• Utilize GM Safety CAE standard work procedures for all simulations and ensure high quality models
• Perform Computer Aided Engineering simulations to evaluate occupant performance for high-speed frontal load cases, including restraints balancing/development for occupant protection using LS-DYNA software.
• Use CAE to lead the vehicle design, generate feasible and timely vehicle design recommendations and technical solutions to meet safety performance targets for the vehicle program as documented in the Vehicle Technical Specifications (VTS). Balance safety requirements based on the results of crash simulations for the major safety load cases with other performance requirements.
• Work with engineering functions, program teams, suppliers, manufacturing, and others to implement design changes as required to achieve vehicle performance.
• Use advanced CAE tools and methods (Variation Study/DOE/DFSS/MDO) to optimize performance.
• Plan, prepare, execute and analyze post-test results for testing at the Vehicle Proving Grounds. Interpret measurements, conduct analysis, and compare CAE to test results. Effectively communicate results and proactively collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues and verify solutions.
• Work with global teams in a collaborative environment.
• Present performance status at appropriate forums on regular basis.
• Demonstrate GM Core Values and Behaviors.
• Travel to Milford Proving Grounds to support testing when required.
