Job 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.
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, MI three times per week, at minimum.
The Role
As the Safety Performance Integration Engineer, you will lead and execute development and validation of vehicle crash safety systems on future vehicle programs.
Hold responsibility for crashworthiness development of vehicle structure for GM Vehicle Programs.
Lead engineering projects by demonstrating initiative, creativity, independent judgment, and project management throughout the vehicle development process.
Synthesize physical and virtual test results with respect to safety technical requirements.
Work with global teams in a collaborative environment.
Provide technical direction while working with multiple functional groups.
What You’ll Do
Understand and apply GM Safety Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) standard work procedures for delivering quality models and simulation results.
Use CAE to lead the vehicle design, while balancing all applicable Global Safety Requirements
Perform CAE simulations to evaluate full vehicle crashworthiness performance for high-speed Frontal, Side, and/or Rear impact load cases using LS-DYNA software.
Generate feasible and timely vehicle design recommendations and technical solutions to meet safety performance targets as documented in the Vehicle Technical Specifications (VTS) and achieve balance safety performance which also account for the results of crash simulations for the major safety load cases.
Work with engineering functions, program teams, suppliers, manufacturing, and others to implement design changes as required
Use advanced CAE tools and methods (Variation Study/DOE/DFSS/MDO) to optimize the structural designs and improve structural efficiency
Physical safety test support at the Milford Vehicle Proving Grounds including test requests, test, post-test teardowns, interpretation of results, issue resolution follow-through, and comparison of CAE to test results.
Present performance status at appropriate forums on regular basis.
