Advanced Gas Engine Senior Project Engineer - Emissions Reduction

General Motors•Pontiac, MI

41d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Advanced Engines group is responsible for the design and development of Advanced Internal Combustion Engines and related technologies that are approximately 5-7 years away from production implementation. The focus of the group is to identify and develop innovative technologies that meet future emissions and fuel economy regulations, while exceeding customer expectations for the target market segment at a competitive cost. The successful candidate will be responsible for specifying and balancing requirements, execution and evaluation of designs, analysis, development, testing and validation of engineering projects where a substantial amount of creativity and initiative are involved as well as a high level of independent judgment. The broad scope of responsibilities may include any engine component or system. The role may include providing technical work direction to other engineers and/or support personnel. You'll actively engage in team issue resolution and supplier leveraging and work cohesively with a group of engineers, designers, and other support personnel responsible for executing smaller portions of larger projects.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience in the area of spark ignition engine emissions, controls and/or calibration.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Demonstrated 5+ years of work experience in the areas of spark ignition engine component or subsystem design, analysis, or testing and related technologies may include combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, egr systems, aftertreatment systems, controls, and algorithms, OBD assessment.
High level of analytical ability where problems are unusual and difficult.
Solid understanding of engineering theory and principles of operation of spark ignition engine mechanical and/or electrical systems.
Must be able to create and present information in a clear and concise manner to colleagues and management.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree in engineering.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects to meet budget, timing, and technical deliverables in a cross-functional team.
Demonstrated experience in technical guidance and effective communication with spark ignition engine design, analysis, purchasing, suppliers, build, development, and controls personnel.
DFSS Green Belt or higher.

Responsibilities

Lead and/or support Advanced Engines technology with focus on Spark Ignition engine projects to achieve emissions compliance, efficiency improvements and performance capabilities.
Responsible for Advanced Technical Work with focus on reduction of emissions supporting critical engine programs.
Responsible for the assessment of Advanced Spark Ignition Engines technologies which may include combustion, valvetrains, fuel systems, boost systems, egr systems, aftertreatment systems, controls and algorithms, OBD assessment using analysis and experimental testing with multi-cylinder engine in testbench.
Responsible for proof-of-concept of technologies through analysis and experimental work with multi-cylinder spark ignition engines focused on emissions reduction and efficiency improvements. Engine development applications involve conventional and/or hybrid propulsion system architectures.
Provide technical guidance to analysis, design, calibrators, and controls engineers in a collaborative team environment.
Develop test plans for a wide range of advanced spark ignition engine technology assessments.
Responsible for timely procurement, build, and design verification of advanced spark ignition engine components and subsystems.
Interaction with suppliers and development partners to assess and develop advanced spark ignition engine technologies.
Analyze and communicate test results to colleagues and management.
Travel as required to support the business.
