Controls System Engineer

General MotorsMilford, MI
Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves working closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to understand functional requirements and implement appropriate control solutions. The engineer will define controls and diagnostics subsystem level requirements, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, government laws, and company policies. The position requires optimizing controls design through modeling, simulation, data collection, and analysis, as well as developing controls-oriented models and defining calibration strategies. The role also supports issue resolution, creates tools and training materials, and mentors new employees. Adherence to safety precautions is paramount, and collaboration with partners across multiple organizations is essential for timely and quality feature delivery. This position operates under a hybrid work policy, requiring 3 days in the office and 2 days remote, with the ability to report to the local office.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechatronic Engineering, Automotive Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study.
  • Two (2) years of experience as a Systems Engineer, Development Engineer, Product Engineer, or related role.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Safety Critical Design.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Simulink, MATLAB, DOORs or GIT environments.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Plant modeling or data analysis tools.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Major automotive subsystems.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Design, implementation and testing of embedded Controls.
  • Two (2) years of experience with Software-in-Loop, Model-in-Loop or Hardware-in-Loop Simulation.
  • One (1) year of experience with Programming using C.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to understand functional requirements and implement appropriate control solutions.
  • Define controls and diagnostics subsystem level requirements that ensure compliance to safety requirements, government regulations, and GM-internal policies.
  • Meet higher level physics based requirements and enable efficient implementation in an embedded controller.
  • Address lessons learned in controls and diagnostics design.
  • Ensure subsystem level test requirements and the verification of the controls and diagnostic design.
  • Optimize controls design through modeling, simulation, data collection, and analysis.
  • Develop controls-oriented models, including selecting appropriate control/diagnostic methods and considering system characteristics and constraints.
  • Define calibration strategies and promote model-based practices in algorithm strategies and calibrations.
  • Support resolution of vehicle, plant, or customer issues related to controls and calibration.
  • Create tools, libraries, and training material to enable capability growth and support team learning.
  • Mentor new employees to help increase capabilities and share knowledge.
  • Adhere to all safety precautions and requirements, treating safety as the top priority during all work activities.
  • Work with partners in multiple organizations to ensure features and systems are delivered with quality and timeliness.
