Virtual Propulsion Engineer – Dynamics & NVH Analysis
We’re looking for a high-energy, innovative, and influential CAE engineer to join our Dynamics & NVH analysis team. In this role, you’ll drive cutting-edge FEA-based structural dynamics and NVH analysis across ICE, PHEV, and BEV propulsion systems.
You’ll work on a wide range of components—from electric drive units to engines, turbos, exhaust systems, and structural hardware— playing a key role in shaping designs through advanced simulation and clear, compelling technical communication . This is a highly visible role where your ability to translate complex analysis into actionable insights will directly influence engineering decisions across GM.

What You’ll Do

Lead high-impact analytical work by building, troubleshooting, and executing complex models to evaluate dynamic stress, noise, and vibration performance
Translate analysis into influence —deliver clear, compelling design recommendations to DREs, N&V engineers, and leadership
Champion virtualization by advancing simulation capabilities that reduce reliance on physical testing and accelerate engineering decisions
Communicate with clarity and confidence —present complex technical findings in a way that drives alignment and action across diverse audiences
Drive excellence in standard work by developing, refining, and scaling best practices and procedures
Make an impact across the full lifecycle —support programs from concept through production with optimized, customer-ready CAE models
Lead capability-building initiatives that push the boundaries of propulsion NVH analysis
Actively pursue efficiency gains through cost reduction, size optimization, and performance improvements
Inspire and elevate the team through technical leadership, mentorship, and a strong, positive presence
Build strong cross-functional partnerships and effectively collaborate with Advanced, Program, Design Release, Validation, and NVH teams to deliver integrated solutions

Required Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field
3+ years of experience with FEA tools (e.g., Abaqus, OptiStruct)
Strong foundation in structural dynamics and NVH principles
Working knowledge of ICE, PHEV, and BEV system integration
Proven problem-solving ability with experience addressing vehicle-level challenges in production environments
Strong communication and storytelling skills with the ability to clearly present technical content to leadership, peers, customers, and suppliers
Flexibility to collaborate across global teams, including occasional non-standard hours
Familiarity with CAE tools such as HyperMesh, ANSA, AMEsim, ADAMS/MBD tools, Actran, Python, and/or MATLAB

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering with specialization in NVH, FEA, or Physics
5+ years of experience in 3D FEA analysis of propulsion systems
Strong programming skills in MATLAB and/or Python
Experience with multidisciplinary optimization (MDO)
Deep understanding of signal processing
Recognition as a technical leader in FEA modeling tools

Demonstrated interest or experience in AI/ML applications —leveraging data-driven methods, automation, or intelligent tools to enhance modeling, improve predictive accuracy, and drive engineering efficiency
