Aerodynamics Engineer/Senior Engineer

설명

GM is seeking an Aerodynamics Engineer or Senior Engineer to support or lead the development of optimized vehicle aerodynamic performance and front-end airflow solutions that enable fuel economy, range, ride and handling, energy efficiency, and lap-time objectives.

This role collaborates cross-functionally with Design Studio, SMT, Program Teams, Engineering, and Manufacturing to develop and integrate cost-effective solutions that balance aerodynamic performance, thermal requirements, brake cooling, wind noise, vehicle dynamics, and the Studio theme.

Engineers in this role conduct physical and virtual aerodynamic and front-end airflow assessments using full-scale wind tunnel facilities, computational fluid dynamics, and supporting engineering tools. Success requires creative, physics-based problem solving; strong communication and interpersonal skills; advanced planning and organization; attention to detail; and personal accountability.

The position may be filled at either an Engineer or Senior Engineer. The level for this role will be determined based on the selected candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

• Support or lead aerodynamic enabler development to meet vehicle aerodynamic, energy, vehicle dynamics, and lap-time requirements.
• Support or develop thermal architectural solutions to meet front-end airflow, propulsion cooling, and air-conditioning performance requirements.
• Integrate and balance aerodynamic and front-end airflow performance with brake cooling, thermal performance, wind noise, and vehicle dynamics.
• Perform or lead virtual aerodynamic and front-end airflow simulations using commercial CFD codes and supporting software in Windows, Linux/UNIX, and HPC environments.
• Use engineering tools such as ANSA, STAR-CCM+, POWERFLOW/EXA-POWERFLOW, FLUENT, HYPERWORKS, and other internal codes as appropriate.
• Support or lead aerodynamic and front-end airflow development testing at the GM Kelly Aerodynamics Lab and offsite facilities.
• Collaborate with Design Studio, SMT, Program Teams, Engineering, and Manufacturing to integrate aerodynamic and front-end airflow features throughout vehicle development.
• Participate fully in vehicle development activities and proactively use simulation and test results to guide vehicle design decisions.
• Communicate aerodynamic and front-end airflow results, risks, recommendations, and development plans during standard reviews, peer reviews, program meetings, and gate reviews.
• Support or lead final validation and certification of vehicle aerodynamic performance.
• Support wind-noise, coast-down, track, and other vehicle performance testing as required.
• Benchmark competitive vehicles and apply relevant findings to program development.
• Contribute to a collaborative, inclusive, and accountable engineering environment.

Aerodynamics Engineer

• Execute aerodynamic and front-end airflow analyses, simulations, and tests with increasing independence.
• Support development of aerodynamic requirements, enablers, and thermal architectural solutions.
• Analyze complex technical issues and recommend physics-based solutions.
• Coordinate assigned simulation and test activities and ensure results are documented and communicated clearly.
• Collaborate effectively with Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, SMT, and Program Team partners.
• Apply established processes, tools, and methods while identifying opportunities to improve them.
• Demonstrate ownership of assigned deliverables through detailed planning, communication, and disciplined execution.
• Build technical depth in vehicle aerodynamics, CFD, wind-tunnel testing, front-end airflow, thermal integration, and vehicle development.

Senior Aerodynamics Engineer

• Define program aerodynamic performance requirements based on energy strategy, track-performance targets, benchmarking, and program priorities.
• Develop program aerodynamic content and strategy to meet vehicle aerodynamic, energy, vehicle dynamics, and lap-time requirements.
• Lead development of thermal architectural solutions for front-end airflow, propulsion cooling, and air-conditioning performance.
• Lead the integration and balancing of aerodynamic, front-end airflow, brake-cooling, thermal, wind-noise, and vehicle-dynamics requirements.
• Organize and lead complex virtual simulations, physical testing, and development activities.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with Design Studio, SMT, Program Teams, Engineering, and Manufacturing.
• Take ownership of simulation and test strategies and use results to influence vehicle design and program decisions.
• Communicate technical recommendations, risks, and development plans at program meetings, peer reviews, and gate reviews.
• Lead final validation and certification of vehicle aerodynamic performance.
• Mentor less-experienced team members in aerodynamic development, tools, processes, communication, and behaviors.
• Coordinate coast-down testing, competitive benchmarking, and other activities supporting program objectives.
• Influence processes, tools, techniques, and behaviors to improve engineering effectiveness and program outcomes.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with a fluid-dynamics focus, or an equivalent degree.
• 2+ years (5+ for Senior) years of professional experience with vehicle development/engineering
• Strong analytical ability to resolve complex engineering issues.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective relationships with Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, SMT, and Program Team members.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with a fluid-dynamics focus, or an equivalent degree.
• Experience with or demonstrated proficiency in aerodynamic and front-end airflow CFD/CAD tools
• Experience with or demonstrated proficiency in aerodynamic and wind-tunnel testing, measurement techniques, and data systems
• Experience with performance-car and/or motorsports programs.
• Background in CFD methodology and applications.
• Experience with commercial CFD solvers such as FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, and POWERFLOW/EXA-POWERFLOW.
• Experience with mesh-generation tools such as ANSA or HYPERWORKS.
• Experience with CAD or engineering software such as UG-NX, Alias, or Polyworks.
• DFSS training or Black Belt certification.
• Engineering experience in body release, powertrain cooling, energy integration, or related vehicle engineering functions.
• Prior design-release or vehicle-development experience related to aerodynamics.
