Application Engineer - Virtual Extender

GM•Milford, MI

19d•Hybrid

About The Position

Develop completely virtual embedded control systems and virtual electronic control units (VECUs) that serve as real-time virtual counterparts of physical ECUs. The role works cross-functionally with Design Release Engineers, Tier 1 suppliers, model integration partners, and Simulation Integration Engineers to develop and integrate VECU packages and support virtual system benches. It also involves deploying and maintaining virtual software integration benches, applying production software to VECUs, validating and verifying package integrity, debugging software in virtual environments, and developing simulation and test script capabilities. The position follows a hybrid work policy: three days in the office and two days remote, with the ability to report to a local office.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
At least two years of experience as a Software Engineer, Application Engineer, Integration Engineer, Systems Engineer, or in a related role.
At least two years of experience with electronic control modules and embedded control systems.
At least two years of experience with programming languages including C, C++, System C, and Python.
At least two years of experience with software build processes and associated tools, including Gerrit, Jenkins, and Git.
At least two years of experience with software debugging tools, including Lauterbach and Green Hills Multi IDE.
At least two years of experience with automotive communications, including CAN, LIN, and SPI.
Must be able to report to a local office under the hybrid work policy.
