About The Position

This role is categorized as hybrid, meaning the selected candidate will be expected to work on‑site at the Warren Tech Center at least three days per week (or other frequency determined by their manager). This role is not eligible for relocation assistance Role Summary In this role of Electrical Designer, you will be responsible for developing math design solutions to meet subsystem and component requirements. This activity develops independent problem solving and multi-functional issue resolution. You will be required to have working knowledge of SMT Design and Engineering Best Practices. You will be an expert in GM CAD and Data Management System, Windows Suite, and VisMockup. You will exercise creative solution development with some technical direction from Design Leader Technical or Senior Designer. Become experienced with Development Process and the math fidelity of each cycle. Proficient in CAD Tools and deep understanding of Standard Modeling Methods. You will also be responsible for developing Electrical virtual integration solutions to support program requirements along with a deep understanding of the application of basic design principles and concepts plus an understanding of the fundamental theories, practices and procedures of virtual integration. Fundamental knowledge of theory and principle of virtual integration, capable of performing higher level assignments that are broader and more dynamic in nature. You will provide solutions to non-routine problems of more moderate scope and complexity for virtual vehicle integration. You will work with general supervision and be responsible for coordinating with some administration of programs or SMT by the Virtual Design Lead Technical or Senior Virtual Designer. (i.e. Virtual data queries, analysis, and interrogation from part to complete vehicle including vehicle assembly structure and part design usage / configuration.).

Requirements
