Descrição

Onsite : Position requires an employee to be on-site full-time in Concord, NC.

The Role

At GM Motorsports, we are driven by a clear purpose: to accelerate our teams’ ability to win on the racetrack and in the marketplace. Our vision is to be the benchmark of global motorsports excellence, inspiring enduring passion for our brands and products through world-class performance, innovation, and teamwork. We are looking for people who share our mindset and core values — ownership in organizational success, a commitment to add value to our team, and the courage to reject mediocrity in pursuit of exceptional results.

This role operates across two critical dimensions. First, it leads a focused team of five highly technical specialists responsible for operating a full vehicle dynamometer . Second, it is accountable for delivering a best-in-class closed-loop development environment that seamlessly integrates analysis, driver-in-the-loop simulation, powertrain dynamometer testing, and full vehicle dynamometer capabilities to accelerate calibration, improve correlation, and ultimately enhance overall vehicle performance.
