Our Company
At General Motors, we combine the passion of a startup with the influence of a global powerhouse. We pride ourselves on designing, building, and selling the world’s best vehicles and transportation solutions. Our vision of a future with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion is bold, and our people are leading the way as we seek to transform the future of personal mobility. To achieve this vision, we need people to join us who are passionate about crafting safer, better, and more sustainable ways for people to get around.
The Role
We are looking for R&D Interns to support our battery characterization efforts and help develop the next generation of analytical methods for advanced battery materials. In this support role, the intern will primarily be responsible for performing characterization of battery materials, developing new and innovative characterization methods, and operating state-of-the-art instruments including X-ray CT, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, IC, HPLC, GC, XRF, GDOES, and others. Join our world-class Battery Research and Development (BRD) team today if you want to make a positive impact on the lives of millions of people.
In BRD, you will have opportunities to contribute to the research, innovation, and development of future electrification and propulsion technologies. These include but are not limited to new battery material and component R&D, development of innovative and non-standard methods to expedite the R&D process, cell fabrication process optimization, testing and validation of GM-built and supplier-provided batteries and components, benchmarking, and failure analysis. We design and prototype proof-of-concept hardware for next generation electric vehicles. We also explore and develop models that can predict battery performance, support material and process development, and help GM lead the way to an environmentally conscious, clean battery electric vehicle future.
