Job Posting-Formability Engineer at GM

[Jamie Burdeski]

My boss is hiring someone to work in my group as a formability engineer. My group works in stamping, doing advnaced (early) engineering on all the parts to make sure they're manufacturable before they get to the plants. Formability engineers run simulations of parts being formed, making sure they don't split or wrinkle, and recommends changes in the part shape to make the part manufacturacble. My boss looking for a mechanical/materials engineer primarily, but if you have knowledge of steel, especially high strength steel, that would be a big bonus. If you're interested in doing research this is a good position-a lot of people in the group are involved in really interesting side projects in addition to the day-to-day work.

 

The job is in Warren, at the GM Tech Center. It doesn't involve any travel other than occasional field trips to local plants. GM's a great place to work, despite its reputation. Great pay, decent benefits, etc. This is my job, so let me know if you have any questions about it! The posting says you should have CAE experience, but we're pretty much expecting to spend 6 months training someone to use the software, etc. If you're interested, let me know and I'll at least give my boss your name, so your resume will actually be looked at :-)

FEs use specialized sheet formaing software-mostly AutoForm, but some Pamstamp and LSDyna.

Other people in the group use NX & Teamcenter

You really don't need experience with the software to be good at the job though. The software's the easy part :-)

Is it a contract or GM-direct hire?  (Not interested myself, but it's an important distinction that people should know)

[Jamie Burdeski]

Direct hire. You're right, I forgot to mention that.
