2027 Summer Intern - Research and Development - EPSR Lab

The Role General Motors is seeking a highly motivated research intern to support advanced electrification and propulsion research within the Energy and Propulsion Systems Research organization. The intern will contribute to the development of advanced motor topologies, control methods, and artificial-intelligence-enabled engineering tools for future hybrid-electric and battery-electric vehicles.

This role offers opportunities to combine analytical work, simulation, laboratory experimentation, and hands-on testing in a collaborative research environment.

What You'll Do:

• Investigate advanced electric-machine topologies, including rare-earth-free synchronous reluctance machines, induction machines, and switched reluctance machines.
• Develop, evaluate, and improve control strategies for electric drive systems.
• Apply artificial intelligence and machine-learning methods to electric-machine design, controls, modeling, diagnostics, or performance optimization.
• Support simulation, modeling, analysis, and concept development for HEV and EV propulsion systems.
• Participate in drive-system testing, laboratory experiments, and validation of proof-of-concept hardware.
• Contribute to power-electronics and circuit-design activities as needed by project assignments.
• Analyze technical results and communicate findings through presentations, reports, and other research documentation.
• Collaborate with researchers, engineers, laboratory staff, and cross-functional project teams.
• Follow applicable laboratory, electrical-safety, data-management, and intellectual-property practices.
