Description

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.  

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role

The Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer leads the design and development of components and subsystems that critically impact vehicle dynamics performance and structural loads. This role leverages advanced virtual tools and full-vehicle simulation packages to drive integration across vehicle dynamics and related disciplines. 

Engineers in this role will have the opportunity to specialize in technical domains such as tire modeling, control system integration, and other simulation-driven areas that influence vehicle behavior. A strong emphasis is placed on the use of automation methods such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) to ensure efficient, scalable, and repeatable simulation workflows.

What You’ll Do

Multibody Dynamics Modeling & Simulation

  • Optimize suspension and steering kinematics and compliance
  • Virtually integrate chassis tuning parts to meet ride, handling, and steering targets
  • Collaborate to optimize structure and manage loads at key interfaces
  • Integrate active control systems into performance simulations

Model Framework and Capability Development

  • Develop and maintain the cross-functional vehicle dynamics master model framework and co-simulation packages
  • Use data management tools to integrate 1D data and control systems into simulation workflows
  • Continuously improve the fidelity of chassis subsystems and full vehicle models
  • Advance virtual development by creating new load cases and collaborating with test teams to reduce reliance on hardware-based methods

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Work effectively across functions and cultures to build strong partnerships
  • Communicate, influence, and motivate teams to deliver world-class designs and integration
  • Mentor and coach team members, providing guidance and support
  • Influence without direct authority, manage ambiguity, and resolve conflicts to achieve goals

Values & Global Engagement

  • Promote GM values and make customer-focused decisions
  • Collaborate with global partners to enhance product design and simulation capabilities
  • Demonstrate ownership, strategic thinking, and sound decision-making

What You’ll Need (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Math or Science or closely related field of study
  • 5 or more years of relevant experience in the automotive, aircraft, construction, or related industries
  • Experience applying computational methods to solve engineering problems
  • Proficient in using scripting languages such as MATLAB or Python to automate and analyze simulations
  • Demonstrated ability to work in teams, balancing technical theory with practical limitations
  • Strong oral and written communication skills
  • Demonstrate creative and independent thinking
  • This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • MS or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Software, Computer Engineering closely related field of study
  • Familiarity with multibody and/or controls integration CAE tools such as Simpack, ADAMS, MotionView, Carsim, Carmaker, Matlab/Simulink, dSpace VEOS, Github and other similar tools.
  • Advanced project or thesis work in vehicle dynamics and/or multi body dynamics modeling.
  • Practical automotive experience - Building, restoring, modifying; Performance driving schools.
  • Participation in automotive teams - Mini-Baja, Formula SAE, PACE, Eco-Car, etc.
