About The Position

General Motors is seeking Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) professionals to join their team. This role involves independent project management and leadership in planning and executing full vehicle and subsystems models for programs, aligning with time and consumer requirements. The position requires collaboration with various teams, including Vehicle Performance Integration, Design Release, Design Engineering, Suppliers, Performance, and Program teams, to develop and refine model build plans while assessing and mitigating risks. The role also involves leading globally distributed teams, performing risk assessments, monitoring progress, and ensuring the quality and timely delivery of models. Additionally, the position requires active participation in process improvement meetings, leading root cause analysis for quality improvements on safety, body, trim structure, and flex models, and identifying opportunities for efficiency in master model builds. A key aspect of the role is applying process integration principles and staying updated with new modeling technologies to provide technical leadership for road-to-lab-to-math projects aligned with technology roadmaps.
