ERS ML Design Optimization Engineer

Formula 1 ERS ML Design Optimization Engineer

Concord, NC, USA

GM Performance Power Units (GM PPU) seeks an ERS ML Design Optimization Engineer to join our team in Concord, NC. This role leverages ML for design optimization, simulation acceleration, and performance analysis of ERS systems (MGU-K, CU-K, ES) using telemetry and physics-based data. Focus on surrogate models to reduce sim cycles while meeting FIA constraints.

• Build neural network surrogates (e.g., PINNs, graph nets) emulating ERS physics across thermal, electrical, degradation behaviors.
• Implement tool-agnostic GA/BO optimization loops for multi-objective ERS design (mass/power/reliability).
• Fuse/process petabyte-scale datasets from bench/dyno/track + DiL/HiL/SiL sims for training/validation.
• Conduct sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification on ERS parameter spaces.
• Develop ML-accelerated workflows integrated with NX/AVL/MATLAB/ANSYS sim chains.
• Validate models against real duty cycles; iterate for FIA-constrained optima.
• Document optimization pipelines, neural architectures, and results for design reviews.

• Bachelor's in CS/EE/Math/Physics;
  Master's/PhD in ML/scientific computing preferred.
• 3+ years building neural surrogates for engineering sims; GA/BO optimization experience.
• Proficiency handling multi-fidelity datasets (real + DiL/HiL/SiL).
• Familiarity with hybrid powertrains, multi-physics sim tools.
• F1 ERS plant modeling (cell/MGU/ES performance prediction).
• Neural operators/PINNs for PDE surrogates; multi-fidelity BO.
• HPC workflows, data versioning (DVC), containerization.
• Domain expertise in e-motors, batteries, power electronics.

• Innovates across model/design/compute trade-offs.
• Communicates complex ML insights to design engineers.
• Rigorous validator of sim fidelity against reality.
• Passionate about F1 performance engineering.
