Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord, NC three times per week, at minimum.
The Role
This position is part of GM Motorsports Performance Engineering and will support the IMSA and WEC Sportscar programs. The team is responsible for enhancing on-track performance by guiding long-term vehicle development and delivering event-specific recommendations on vehicle configuration, setup, and race strategy to supported teams. In this role, you will contribute to achieving program objectives through in-depth analysis across multiple domains, including vehicle dynamics, simulation model correlation and refinement, data interpretation from on-track, rig, and Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) testing, methods development, and competitor analysis and reporting. Success in this role requires strong collaboration with internal GM Motorsports teams, maintaining alignment with race team personnel, and occasional travel to race and test events.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with GM supported teams and GM personnel to understand team objectives, contribute to a coordinated development effort, and convey findings to all necessary groups
Continuously strive to improve GM Motorsports programs’ tools, analysis methods, and vehicle dynamics understanding by:
-
Reimagining and prototyping new and better solutions to common problems or questions
-
Correlating existing methods and validating new improvements against track and test data
-
Working with GM Software team to implement solutions in our production tools
Implement vehicle simulation (desktop, DOE, DIL) and data analysis methods, to develop race winning solutions through:
-
Race-specific setup refinement
-
Conceptual studies to guide big-picture development efforts
-
Competitor analysis and event characterization
-
Race strategy optimization
Clearly present findings, recommendations, and analysis results through well organized and actionable reports and in-person follow-up.
Work independently to accomplish assigned tasks, suggest new tasks based on communicated and/or perceived needs while considering group, program and organizational priorities.
Act as a mentor to junior engineers in the group and organization.
