Job summary

General Motors Company is seeking an experienced engineer to lead the virtual development of propulsion hydraulic systems. You will guide designs for engine coolant, oil and lubrication, ventilation/PCV, fuel systems, cam phasers, and transmission hydraulics using models and test data.

You will set direction for future virtual capabilities, collaborate with hardware, test, controls, and calibration teams, and mentor others in propulsion-hydraulics methods and decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of engineering experience in propulsion systems, fluid systems, hydraulics, modeling and simulation, design, testing, controls, calibration, or related fields.
• Strong understanding of propulsion fluid-system physics and experience applying that knowledge to engine, transmission, or vehicle development.
• Experience developing, using, reviewing, and correlating system-level models for fluid, hydraulic, or propulsion applications.
• Experience with 1D or system-simulation tools such as GT-SUITE, AMESim, MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, or equivalents.
• Experience leading cross-functional technical work and ability to influence decisions without direct authority.

Responsibilities

• Guide propulsion-hydraulics product design using models and test data.
• Set direction for future virtual capabilities and reduce physical testing where possible.
• Develop models capturing system and component behavior and use them for requirements, design reviews, and validation.
• Collaborate with hardware, test, controls, calibration teams to support virtual calibration and early design decisions.
• Mentor team members and customers on propulsion-hydraulics fundamentals and how to apply results to product decisions.
