Description

General Motors is hiring a CAE Engineer to support piston structures and durability within Global Virtual Engineering. The role converts engineering requirements and failure modes into physics-based analyses, evaluates piston and related component performance, resolves non-routine technical issues, prepares traceable analysis reports, and develops reusable CAE procedures and automation. The position is hybrid, based in Warren, Michigan, with at least three reportings per week, less than 25% travel, and possible relocation benefits.

Additional Information

Minimum Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
Required Previous Experiences: Professional experience applying CAE, FEA, or comparable engineering simulation methods to structural, durability, thermal-structural, or related mechanical problems.
Experience defining analysis inputs and boundary conditions, evaluating model quality, interpreting results, and communicating limitations, uncertainty, and recommendations.
Ability to identify and resolve non-routine technical problems and manage moderate-scope work through completion.
Preferred Qualifications: Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Experience with piston structures, piston pins, connecting rods, cranktrain components, engine durability, or related powertrain hardware.
Experience with Abaqus, HyperMesh, FLARE, AVL EXCITE, or comparable pre-processing, solving, and post-processing environments.
Knowledge of piston failure modes and performance topics such as safety factors, thermal loading, bore distortion, skirt contact/scuffing, land clearance, piston noise, pin behavior, or fatigue.
Experience with DFMEA, risk-based evaluation planning, design variation/sensitivity studies, qualification evidence, or virtual–physical correlation.
Experience developing or maintaining engineering standard work, analysis procedures, Excel/VBA tools, Python/MATLAB scripts, automation, or reusable engineering workflows.
Experience working with production programs, supplier technical issues, warranty/field investigations, or design changes under timing pressure.
Experience applying artificial intelligence or machine learning to engineering workflows, including surrogate modeling, reduced-order modeling, design-space exploration, optimization, or predictive analytics, and using design synthesis methods.
