This role focuses on developing optimized geometries for laser powder bed fusion using 3DXpert and NX, while also supporting prototyping, fixtures, and tooling through FDM systems. A key part of the role is creating and refining test geometries in collaboration with the AM Materials and AM Process teams to accelerate parameter development and process optimization. Success in this role means delivering manufacturable, cost-effective designs that balance design freedom with process constraints, while building foundational expertise in AM design. \nKey Responsibilities:\nApply design-for-additive-manufacturing (DfAM) rules and guidelines to create optimized LPBF parts. \nCollaborate with product design teams on part orientation, support strategies, and manufacturability reviews. \nDevelop and iterate test geometries to support AM Materials and AM Process teams in parameter, simulation, and process optimization. \nSupport rapid prototyping efforts using in-house and external AM equipment, including FDM for fixtures, tooling, and prototypes. \nAssist in training and mentoring junior designers on AM design practices. \nDocument lessons learned and contribute to the continuous improvement of AM design standards and best practices. \nCollaborate with downstream manufacturing stakeholders to ensure efficient and achievable manufacturing plans. \nBecome a technical resource and mentor for cross functional teams incorporating AM into their manufacturing workflow. \n\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. \n1–3 years of professional experience in design engineering; prior LPBF AM exposure preferred. \nProficiency in Siemens NX (preferred) or similar 3D CAD software is required. \nFamiliarity with AM-specific software such as 3DXpert, nTop, or Materialise is preferred. \nUnderstanding of DfAM principles, particularly for LPBF. \nWorking knowledge of 3D GD&T and application to downstream processes of the Additive component such as Machining, Welding, and Assembly \nStrong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced environment. \nAbility to solve complex problems using innovative solutions while having the agility to adapt to evolving part designs and requirements. \nAbility to collaborate across design, materials, and process teams. \nStrong functional mechanical knowledge, establishing a working familiarity with product team’s design intent and goals in order to best utilize and “sell” the advantages of AM to develop the highest performing and efficient component. \nWorking knowledge of LPBF equipment operation, setup, and material handling is preferred. \nKey Performance Indicators (KPI’s):\nDesign quality and manufacturability: percentage of parts meeting specification with minimal design cycles and efficient post processing. \nIteration speed: ability to deliver optimized designs and test geometries within project timelines. \nCross-team impact: measurable contributions to Materials and Process teams through effective test geometry design. \nKnowledge transfer: effectiveness in capturing and sharing design insights with the core AM Design team and product design teams. \n\nBecause this position requires access to export-controlled technology or information, the successful candidate must be able to satisfy applicable U.S. export-control requirements. This may require verification of status as a “U.S. Person” or eligibility to obtain any required government authorization.\nWhy Join Us\nYou’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and performance of a next-generation Formula 1 power unit. Our culture rewards precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of performance.\nPlease note: GM Performance Power Units and all affiliated companies are Equal Opportunity employer(s).
