Compartment Integration Design Engineer – 2D/3D Math and VR/MR

Job Description At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.   Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale. The role General Motors is seeking a Compartment Integration Design Engineer (CIDE) to support General Arrangement / vehicle packaging, 3D part creation for physical buck development, and Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality evaluations for advanced electric vehicle programs. This role is an opportunity to connect engineering requirements, vehicle dimensions, 3D geometry, physical evaluation tools, and immersive technology. You will help translate program criteria and design intent into accurate G/As, packaging studies, fabrication-ready 3D math, and VR/MR review environments that enable fast, confident decisions about occupant accommodation, visibility, spaciousness, access, and overall vehicle experience. The successful candidate is technically curious, detail-oriented, comfortable working across disciplines, and motivated by the opportunity to shape vehicle development before the product exists physically.   What you’ll do (Responsibilities) • Execute compartment integration and packaging work within assigned vehicle programs and architecture scope. • Create, update, and maintain General Arrangements, including criteria, status, and program-level dimensional deliverables as applicable. • Create and manage 3D math for seating bucks and other physical properties, including wood structure, foam, stringers, touch-point parts, trim, and other program-specific content. • Convert design and engineering intent into fabrication-ready part geometry, section views, 2D drawings, assembly data, and organized data packages for shop or mill fabrication. • Verify part interfaces, assembly relationships, material intent, and dimensional accuracy before releasing or transmitting data for fabrication. • Support updates to physical bucks and mixed-reality content so program teams can evaluate current status and alternative solutions quickly. • Prepare and support VR/MR reviews for visibility and occupant accommodation, including program math, competitor math, seating buck data, viewpoints, occupant eye points, headset or tracker setup, and scene alignment. • Help conduct immersive evaluations for forward field of view, over-the-shoulder visibility, reach, access, spaciousness, and other occupant-related attributes. • Capture observations, communicate findings, and help translate immersive review results into actionable engineering or design changes. • Partner with VCLEs, CAMs, CIDEs, SDEs, VMA, Studio, Human Factors, Safety, Manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to resolve integration issues. • Maintain accurate part, file, drawing, and review information so downstream teams can make decisions from reliable data. • Identify non-routine issues, escalate risks with supporting data, and recommend process or tool improvements. • Share methods and lessons learned to expand team capability in G/A, 3D math, physical buck development, and VR/MR execution.   Your Skills and Abilities (Required qualifications) • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Technology, Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or a related discipline • 2 years of experience with automotive product development, vehicle packaging, dimensional engineering, CAD, product desi
