ERS Systems Integration Lead

About the role

GM Performance Power Units is seeking a skilled and motivated ERS Systems Integration Lead to join its engineering team in Concord, NC. The role leads the architecture and integration of Energy Recovery System (ERS) subsystems into the F1 power unit and chassis, with a focus on performance, reliability, and safety.

The role applies technical and leadership skills to system design, modeling, and problem solving, while providing day-to-day technical leadership to the ERS systems and integration team. It works across battery, e-motor, power electronics, thermal management, and control systems to define system-level requirements, interfaces, and operating concepts for a bespoke hybrid power unit developed for Formula 1 competition.

Responsibilities

• Lead the definition and evolution of ERS system architecture, including the Energy Store (battery), MGU-K (e-motor), CU-K (inverter), DCDC, HV/LV distribution, thermal systems, and control interfaces.
• Own system-level requirements and interface specifications between ERS, ICE, chassis, and vehicle control systems, ensuring clear, testable, and traceable definitions.
• Drive cross-functional integration reviews with mechanical, electrical, thermal, controls, and software teams to ensure robust interfaces, packaging solutions, and serviceability.
• Perform and guide concept and trade-off studies, including component sizing, topology, cooling concepts, and energy management strategies, using modeling, simulation, and test data.
• Define and support system-level verification and validation plans using dyno, HIL, and rigs to prove ERS integration performance, safety, and durability.
• Lead structured root-cause investigations for ERS integration issues involving electrical, mechanical, thermal, and software areas, and drive corrective and preventive actions.
