General Motors
2027 Summer Intern - Research and Development - Magnetic Materials
Warren, Michigan, United States of America · Hybrid · Internship · Posted Oct 12, 2026
- Education
- Pursuit of an advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Visa sponsorship
- GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role. Candidates must not need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. The role requires a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).
About the job
Research magnetic materials for vehicle and manufacturing applications through computational modeling, experimental collaboration, material evaluation, and communication of findings.
What you'll do
- Plan and conduct collaborative magnetic-materials research, including modeling, discovery, and performance prediction.
- Connect computational predictions with experimental synthesis, characterization, and validation to guide material selection for GM applications.
- Communicate results through reports, presentations, publications, and invention disclosures.
What they ask for
- Current student pursuing an advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in a listed or closely related field.
- Strong foundation in materials thermodynamics, kinetics, crystallography, phase transformations, magnetism, and structure–property relationships.
- Experience with magnetic materials, computational materials modeling and simulation, scientific programming and data analysis, and multidisciplinary research teams.
- Able to work full-time, 40 hours per week during the summer.
Nice to have
- Ph.D. strongly preferred.
- Experience in areas such as DFT/electronic-structure, machine learning, magnetic-property measurement, materials synthesis, experimental validation, or applied engineering.
Tools
Python, C/C++, MATLAB
