GM is looking to innovate in aerodynamic design and optimization for next-generation vehicles by integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML). The goal is to improve vehicle efficiency, cost, and performance through cutting-edge R&D.
Requirements
- Deep understanding of vehicle aerodynamics, including drag reduction, downforce, and flow control.
- Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, and numerical methods.
- Experience in design optimization workflows using CFD and ML.
- Proficiency in CFD tools such as PowerFLOW and STAR-CCM+.
- Familiarity with HPC environments and cloud computing
- Familiarity with development of CFD-based AI training data sets and AI model training
- Familiarity with various AI modeling approaches such as PINNs, GNNs, and Neural Operators
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute CFD simulations to analyze and optimize vehicle aerodynamic performance.
- Develop passive and active aerodynamic technologies to improve aero performance
- Conduct post-processing and visualization of simulation data to extract actionable insights.
- Support the development of digital twins and simulation-guided design frameworks.
- Integrate AI/ML techniques to accelerate simulation workflows and enable predictive modeling.
- Build and train surrogate models and physics-informed neural networks for flow prediction and design optimization.
- Present technical findings and recommendations to stakeholders across engineering and product teams.
Other
- This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, MI a minimum of three times per week or other frequency dictated by the business.
- PhD in Aerospace, Automotive, or Mechanical Engineering specialized in Aerodynamics
- Candidates must have either a minimum of three (3) years of relevant industry experience or a Ph.D. degree with demonstrated research experience in a related discipline.
- U.S. Citizenship required pursuant to government contract
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
