About The Position

GM Performance Power Units LLC is seeking a Power Unit Integration Engineer to manage the mechanical integration of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Energy Recovery System (ERS), and Power Unit-supported vehicle systems into the race vehicle. Based at the GMPPU facility in Concord, North Carolina, this role is the primary technical interface between GMPPU and the Cadillac F1 Team, coordinating vehicle integration and supporting FIA compliance with homologation and change requests. The role ensures that Power Unit envelopes, vehicle interfaces, and regulatory requirements are understood, controlled, and incorporated into the Power Unit definition. Working across Design, Performance, Program Management, Reliability, Assembly, Testing, and FIA compliance functions, the position supports vehicle integration through development, homologation, and operational use. GM Performance Power Units describes its environment as a startup racing program backed by a legacy of engineering excellence, offering the opportunity to help build a Formula 1 program from day one. The role contributes to the reliability and performance of a next-generation Formula 1 power unit in a culture focused on precision, innovation, and performance.

Requirements

Experience in vehicle integration, systems engineering, packaging engineering, race engineering, powertrain installation, or a comparable role in motorsport, automotive, aerospace, or another highly controlled engineering environment.
Strong understanding of internal combustion engine and/or hybrid or high-voltage Power Unit architecture, components, interfaces, and installation constraints.
Ability to interpret complex CAD assemblies, packaging studies, engineering drawings, technical specifications, interface-control documents, and regulatory requirements.
Working knowledge of large-assembly CAD and product lifecycle management environments.
Strong systems thinking and ability to understand interactions across mechanical, thermal, electrical, controls, and operational domains.
Excellent cross-functional communication and meeting facilitation skills, including confidence challenging unclear inputs and securing timely technical decisions.
Ability to manage competing priorities and maintain clear interface ownership in a fast-moving development environment.
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline; equivalent combinations of education, military experience, technical apprenticeship training, and relevant professional experience will also be considered.

Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter or comparable CAD and product lifecycle management systems.

Responsibilities

Establish, document, and coordinate agreement on Power Unit-to-vehicle interface requirements with Cadillac F1; communicate and resolve changes and open points through appropriate technical channels.
Ensure the Power Unit definition supports vehicle installation, removal, serviceability, and maintenance, including access, clearances, connection points, tooling, and assembly and disassembly considerations.
Support Power Unit FIA regulatory compliance by implementing and verifying applicable technical requirements and preparing and maintaining homologation and change-request documentation.
Coordinate Power Unit-to-vehicle mechanical requirements, including packaging envelopes and installation requirements across structural, power transmission, fuel, cooling, inlet, exhaust, hydraulic, electrical, and instrumentation systems.
Maintain authoritative interface documentation, installation criteria, envelope definitions, and integration status reports.
Lead Power Unit integration and interface reviews with internal stakeholders and Cadillac F1.
Support investigation and resolution of integration issues identified during digital mock-up, physical installation, assembly, inspection, or vehicle build activities.
Identify integration risks, dependencies, open decisions, and timing constraints, and communicate their impact to Program and Engineering teams.
Assess engineering changes for impacts on vehicle interfaces, packaging, installation, accessibility, and serviceability; coordinate implementation of affected interface and installation definitions with internal teams and Cadillac F1.
Participate in design, release-readiness, and build-readiness reviews when changes or decisions may affect Power Unit integration.
Coordinate competitor integration benchmarking and translate relevant findings into technical studies or requirements.
Drive continuous improvement of interface-management, packaging-control, and cross-functional handover processes.
