GM Performance Power Units - Concord, NC

Power Unit Plant Modeling Engineer - Onsite

Job Summary

GM Performance Power Units (GM PPU) is seeking a skilled Power Unit Plant Modeling Engineer to join our innovative engineering team in Concord, NC. This critical role develops high-fidelity 1D/0D transient plant models of F1 power unit systems (MGU, ES, ICE integration) that capture thermal-dependent performance degradation, life damage accumulation, and enable accurate lap-time simulation under race conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop coupled 1D transient plant models using GT-Suite or Simulink capturing MGU-K thermal degradation, ESME SoH decay, and ERS power limitations.

• Integrate component-level damage models (fatigue, wear, thermal cycling) from durability engineers into multi-lap/stint simulations.

• Create thermal-dependent efficiency maps, power derating curves, and performance degradation models val...
