Descrição

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord, NC three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

We are seeking a Motorsports Tire Research and Development Engineer to support GM Motorsports by developing and integrating tire models with simulation (real-time and off-line) using flat track, track test, race event, and other applicable data to improve tire performance. You will collect information from sources inside and outside GM, characterize tire models and interpret results for motorsports. As a key team member, you will attend Motorsports testing, cooperate with GM affiliated Motorsports teams, and enable the transfer of knowledge from Motorsports to GM Production. In this constantly evolving environment, the team works with innovative testing and analytical technologies to review tire force and moment (F&M) properties to virtually integrate tire performance to enable vehicle dynamics simulations for original equipment applications as well.

Joining the GM Motorsports Organization will provide you with the experience and exposure it takes to build and maintain successful race teams and the opportunity to showcase your vehicle dynamics and simulation skills, contribute to innovation, connect lessons learned in racing to production intent vehicles, work cross functionally with our partners and ultimately, help shape the future of Motorsports!

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop methods to process, review, and qualify tire test data

  • Attend and support Driver Simulation sessions

  • Attend Tire Testing

  • Fit tire test data (F&M Flat Trac and any allowable vehicle testing) to models with documented quality

  • Scale and synthesize models based on feedback from secondary data sources

  • Develop extensive enhancements to advance tire models, tools, and methods

  • Simulate Finite Element tire models and feed a workflow of various fidelity tire models

  • Support correlation process to validate tire models for a given race Series

  • Enable tire technology transfer between Motorsports and Production

  • Support integration of tire models with real-time simulation environments

  • Domestic and International travel is required and expected 1-2x/month for 2-4 days in duration; tire testing occurs during the week - limited weekend travel may be required to arrive to the test facility – full details to be discussed.
