About The Position

General Motors is at the forefront of the transformation of automotive with the electrification of our portfolio and the development of leading-edge displays and interiors. Our Display and Integration team is a dynamic, high-energy, and innovative group focused on developing the mechanical and thermal design of next generation Displays and their integration to our vehicle interiors. The team is responsible for developing Mechanical and Thermal design of new next gen display designs, with math, CAD, and analysis. The team also reviews and approves production display design changes. We are seeking a high-performing mechanical/electrical designer interested in leading the in-house CAD development for GM displays. You will be responsible for the mechanical CAD design including styled surfaces/components, deco, integration of electronics (display panel, PCBs, connectors, etc.) and creating, reviewing and modifying display CAD packaging and B-side integration (clips, screw bosses, etc.) for our next generation SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) displays. You will be depended upon to build strong partnerships with internal and external customers. Your design solutions need to be capable of meeting complex system and subsystem requirements for styled electronics. The role also requires significant collaboration with key partners in Engineering, Studio, etc. who provide critical input for your design solutions. You will be developing virtual vehicle integration solutions – primarily for displays - to support program requirements. You will work as a fully qualified contributor who possesses a high degree of knowledge and understanding of all aspects of virtual vehicle integration. You will have broad technical knowledge, training and understanding combined with creative and independent thinking and conceptual ability within the virtual vehicle integration through multiple cycles of the Global Vehicle Development Process.
