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
Energy and Propulsion Systems research is aimed at driving propulsion and vehicle efficiency, cost, and performance improvements. Research also focuses on advancing vehicle and propulsion systems to target enterprise cost reduction through warranty improvement and engineering development efficiency.
We are seeking highly motivated and technically skilled candidates in the emerging technology area called Vehicle Health Management (VHM). Internet-of-Things builds many opportunities to improve the life quality of human beings. In the context of vehicle manufacturing, the vehicle engineering data collected through wireless communication (with customer consensus) allow the prediction of vehicle system issues, and the notification of drivers before vehicle performance and, consequently, people’s busy life is impacted. With VHM technology, we integrate fundamental physics modeling with modern machine learning techniques such as Large Language Model, to develop diagnostics, prognostics, and system performance management solutions at scale.
GM has been leading the way of developing VHM technology to provide customers with an unprecedented level of assurance, convenience, and ownership experience. An example of VHM is the industry-first OnStar Proactive Alert for Starting System, a service GM launched a few years ago that provides early warning to customers in case a component failure is impending, thereby turning emergency repairs into scheduled maintenance events. This service is available on more than 10 million GM vehicles as of now!
What You’ll Do
With the growing demand of VHM, GM R&D invites top talent like you to develop this exciting industry leading technology! Join us if you want to work with a vibrant team to address challenges in cloud-based computing, predictive modeling, and AI/ML to advance VHM. We want researchers who have the passion to make positive impacts on people’s everyday life. Here are some other things to look forward to:
-
Generate innovative ideas and establish new research areas
-
Generate intellectual property, document results, and publish high quality papers
-
Develop next-generation technologies for vehicle system diagnosis, prognosis, and fault-tolerant controls as well as integration
-
Develop and execute technical plans, including concept generation, prototype development, system implementation, and performance evaluation
-
Lead technical discussions and reviews as an expert in this field internally and externally
-
Maintain state-of-the-art technical expertise in related areas of responsibility
-
Collaborate with cross-functional global teams and world-class universities
