Job summary

General Motors in Michigan is seeking a Virtual Hardware Model Engineer to develop models that optimize hardware and software interfaces in vehicle design. You will collaborate with suppliers, product development engineers, and cross-functional teams to advance GVHE modeling capabilities.

The role emphasizes MATLAB/Simulink modeling, CoSim compatibility, documentation, and mentoring, with a hybrid work schedule and relocation support for qualified candidates.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Math, Physics, Computer Science, or other relevant degree.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in product development, systems engineering, or work related to software/hardware connectivity.
• Preferred experience translating physical phenomena into mathematical/Simulink models (electrical, mechanical, and software I/O).
• Proficiency with Matlab/Simulink or similar software that uses code-based logic for model-based simulation.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-fidelity component plant models in MATLAB/Simulink that emulate the electrical, mechanical/physics, and software interfaces of GVHE hardware components.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate hardware designs into modeling requirements.
• Implement plant models for GM CoSim environments (e.g., FMU export) with correct I/O definitions and signal naming.
• Parameterize, correlate, and improve model fidelity using supplier specs, design data, and test results.
• Support integration of component plant models into larger system and vehicle-level co-simulation environments.
• Use plant models as virtual testers to run what-if studies and fault scenarios.
• Document modeling assumptions, calibration parameters, and validation results.
• Lead development and maintenance of model requirements documentation.
• Contribute to standard methods and best practices for component plant modeling.
