2027 Summer Intern - Research and Development - Aftertreatment Catalysis

Job Description

General Motors is seeking a motivated student to join the Energy and Propulsion Systems Research team as a Summer Intern in aftertreatment catalysis. The intern will contribute to research supporting next-generation automotive emissions-control technologies, including catalyst performance, durability, materials development, reaction kinetics, system modeling, and data-driven materials discovery.

This opportunity is intentionally broad and may be well suited for students with experimental, computational, modeling, data science, or artificial intelligence and machine learning backgrounds. The specific project will be aligned with the candidate’s skills and the team’s research priorities.

The team is re-establishing and advancing GM’s aftertreatment catalysis research capabilities. Current research areas include three-way catalysts, platinum-group-metal reduction, catalyst aging and durability, alternative catalyst and substrate materials, hydrocarbon and nitrogen-oxide traps, reaction kinetics, predictive modeling, and AI/ML-enabled materials discovery.
