The Role
GM Defense (GMD) is looking for an N&V Performance engineer that is interested in creating the future of GM Defense related vehicles. The GM Defense Performance Team is a dynamic, fast paced environment where every day provides a new problem to solve that is having an impact on our current & future defense ground vehicles. This includes participating in the AVD process, establishing vehicle level and subsystem requirements. Then following that project through protype builds, integrating the vehicle and then launching a new vehicle program.
The ideal GMD N&V Performance Engineer will have an interest in having a wide variety in their work content. They will also be interested in working cross functionally with multiple SMTs and the broader Performance Integration Team. This job will provide a mix of AVD work, lab development work, SMT support, Global Validation support, and Interactions with the GMD Quality and MFG organizations.
GMD N&V Performance Engineer will be a part of the team transforming how GMD develops vehicle, subsystem and component level N&V performance with a focus on leveraging virtual tools to enable defense industry VDP timelines. The N&V Performance Engineer will need to learn our current advanced vehicle design and hardware execution process with a focus on executing current vehicle programs while developing improved integration processes to help deliver N&V engineering solutions to our programs withing GM Defense.
