About The Position

As a Virtual Analysis Engineer in GM’s Body Manufacturing Product Interface organization, you will help ensure vehicle designs are manufacturable, robust, and aligned with Body Manufacturing Requirements. Using math-based tools, simulation software, and digital verification methods, you will evaluate weldability, accessibility, sealing, part handling, and overall body-in-white manufacturability throughout vehicle development. The role serves as a technical bridge between Product Engineering, Stamping, Body Manufacturing Engineering, and Manufacturing Integration. Analysis will provide early, actionable feedback to reduce design changes, prevent downstream manufacturing issues, and support high-quality, high-volume production. The engineer will also support virtual manufacturing studies, validate interbuildability and cross-program compatibility, review design updates, and recommend process-friendly design improvements. The position is categorized as hybrid, with the selected candidate expected to report to a specific location at least three times a week or at another frequency set by their manager. Relocation benefits are not provided. GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field.
Experience with Siemens Teamcenter, TcVIS, NX, and/or Tecnomatix Process Simulate/Designer.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience evaluating manufacturability in digital environments.
Ability to learn and apply new math-based and virtual analysis tools quickly.
Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver accurate analysis aligned with program timing.
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice To Haves

Body shop launch experience or exposure to BIW manufacturing processes.
Experience with BIW tooling design, joining processes, or manufacturing requirement development.
Experience with math-based processes and virtual simulation workflows.
Robot simulation experience using Process Simulate or an equivalent tool.
Familiarity with GMNA Manufacturing Standards, Body Manufacturing Requirements, and GVDP deliverables.
Coding or scripting experience in C++, Visual Basic, Python, or similar languages to automate math checks or customize analysis tools.
Experience applying artificial intelligence to improve engineering or manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

Use Siemens Teamcenter, TcVIS, NX, and Tecnomatix Process Simulate/Designer to evaluate compliance with Body Manufacturing Requirements.
Assess weldability, sealing, weld-gun access, part handling, and overall BIW manufacturability.
Perform manual virtual analyses when automated tools are unavailable.
Identify requirement gaps, feasibility concerns, and manufacturing risks.
Create and publish manufacturability issue reports for Product Interface, Stamping, Body Manufacturing Engineering, and Product Engineering teams.
Develop KPI charts at defined math synchronization points to track requirement compliance, design maturity, and open actions.
Communicate findings, risks, and recommended actions to cross-functional stakeholders.
Support virtual manufacturing studies evaluating product placement and compatibility within manufacturing facilities.
Analyze robot reach, station constraints, sequencing, access, and other manufacturing considerations.
Validate interbuildability and cross-program compatibility at math-based checkpoints.
Review design updates and coordinate feedback between Product Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering.
Recommend process-friendly design improvements and manufacturing-driven engineering changes.
Manage virtual analysis activities to meet program milestones and vehicle development timing.
