Summer 2027 Research Intern

Overview

GM is looking for highly motivated, technically strong interns to join the Vehicle Health Management (VHM) team. The work sits at the intersection of connected vehicles, data science, physics-based modeling and advanced AI, with the goal of making vehicle ownership more convenient for millions of customers. The team also supports enterprise cost reduction through better warranty performance and more efficient engineering development.

Interns will turn vehicle engineering data into insights that predict system issues and identify root causes before they affect performance or customers' daily lives. VHM research pairs physics-based understanding with machine learning, including large language models, causal AI and reinforcement learning, to build scalable solutions for diagnostics, prognostics and system performance management.

GM already leads this field. The OnStar Proactive Alert for Starting System, an industry first, warns customers about likely component failures before they become emergencies. It is now available on more than 15 million GM vehicles.

Responsibilities

• Generate ideas in VHM areas using physics-based, data-driven and AI-based modeling methods
• Develop technologies for vehicle system diagnosis, prognosis, fault-tolerant controls and integration
• Create and carry out research plans covering concept generation, prototype development, system implementation and performance evaluation
• Document and present results

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior internship experience in automotive, technology or manufacturing
• Strong critical thinking and analytical skills, including synthesizing large, multi-variable datasets into clear insights
• Strong theoretical and experimental skills in controls, optimization and signal processing
• Background in modern AI such as deep learning, LLMs, causal AI, reinforcement learning, foundation models and physics-informed machine learning

Work Arrangement

This role is hybrid. The intern is expected to report to Warren, MI at least three times per week. Start dates are May 24 and June 14, 2027.

Export Control and Sponsorship

GM does not provide immigration sponsorship for this role. The position is subject to export control restrictions and requires the candidate to be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee or refugee).
