About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop and maintain robust, accurate, production-oriented Siemens NX parametric models for assigned components and subsystems
Create virtual vehicle integration solutions aligned with program requirements, design principles, packaging constraints, design criteria, and subsystem interfaces
Develop and refine NX criteria and typical sections using approved modeling methods and program standards
Establish and control hard points, packaging zones, clearances, service access, and critical interfaces
Apply structural design fundamentals and evaluate primary and secondary load paths for durability, crash, support, and propulsion-related conditions
Identify load introduction points, reactions, joints, discontinuities, weak links, and structural improvement opportunities
Perform or support clearance, usage, configuration, and virtual studies across components, subsystems, and the complete vehicle
Complete NX Analysis and use results to guide design decisions
Apply GD&T, tolerance awareness, variation-management, and stack-up principles
Design for manufacturability and assembly, considering tooling, fixturing, joining, inspection, repairability, and production variation
Maintain accurate and traceable material, mass, specification, and related data within math files
Translate requirements into design criteria, integration checks, verification expectations, and release deliverables
Plan and execute work against design sync points, review milestones, release timing, and Global Vehicle Development Process deliverables
Deliver accurate, complete, on-time math releases with clean CAD and correct interfaces
Resolve non-routine and moderately complex virtual integration issues
Communicate design intent, load paths, integration risks, timing, decisions, and technical concerns
Track actions and issues through integration, analysis, reviews, release, build, validation, and verified closure
Collaborate across design, engineering, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, plant, program, and service teams
Contribute to continuous improvement of modeling methods, design reviews, checks, templates, workflows, and data quality

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, engineering technology, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent experience
Two to five years of experience in automotive or mechanical CAD, engineering design, or a related product-development environment
Demonstrated experience using Siemens NX for parametric modeling, model organization, design intent, references, constraints, and model-quality practices
Understanding of automotive or mechanical structural design, including load paths, stiffness, strength, joints, reinforcements, materials, and interfaces
Experience with virtual integration, packaging, clearance studies, configurations, usage validation, or comparable design-integration activities
Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance concepts, and variation management
Working knowledge of design for manufacturability and design for assembly
Ability to interpret requirements, identify ambiguity or conflict, and maintain traceability through design, review, analysis, release, and issue closure
Ability to complete assigned work accurately and on schedule while managing multiple interfaces and program commitments
Strong technical communication, problem-solving, collaboration, ownership, and follow-through skills
Willingness and ability to work onsite at the Warren Tech Center at least three days per week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—or at another frequency determined by the manager
Must not require GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future
Preferred: structural sheet-metal design, casting processes, electrical routings and/or fluid structures, advanced Siemens NX, NX Analysis, joining strategies, DFMEA, tolerance analysis, durability, design optimization, configuration or design changes, coaching, or a master’s degree
