About The Position

We are seeking an Embedded Software Architect to analyze customer inputs and system requirements to create a robust Software Architecture design model for all Software components responsible for Electrification. This role will lead the design and development of electrification services based on SDV Solution Definition. You will coordinate and participate in software design reviews and code reviews, ensuring that all software development activities are in line with the established architecture, standards, and the SAFe framework. You will develop software requirements specifications and software functional specifications, including requirements analysis, software architecture design, data structure design, and low-level software requirement development, in accordance with GM’s SDV vision. You will also develop, deploy, and maintain software modules and participate in the design of a best-in-class in-vehicle Abstracted Mechatronic Platform for GM's new electronic architectures. Additionally, you will code, unit test, debug, and modify complex embedded systems software to ensure project objectives and schedules are met, while adhering to the SAFe framework. You will work closely with a team of highly skilled engineering professionals to solve cross-functional design issues and deliver top-quality products to the end user, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement in line with SAFe principles. You will ensure compliance with ISO26262 and Automotive SPICE based Engineering Process Model in software development activities, while advancing the SDV agenda within the organization. Communication of findings, both technical and non-technical, is crucial to prevent issues and ensure alignment across teams and departments. You will migrate to new vehicle platforms, institutionalize supervisory controls architecture, execute key projects, maintain governance, and adhere to industry standards. Embedding a culture of built-in-quality through a test-first approach leveraging Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies to manage software complexity is key. You will harmonize development efforts across the VMEC, promoting a unified approach to achieving electrification goals and SDV vision. Driving efficiencies and innovation in tools, processes, and software is expected. You will actively engage in driving efficiency in software, collaborating with Software System Architects to improve code quality and pay down technical debts. A focus on continuous improvement of designs to drive common best practices and efficient algorithms is required. You will pursue the reduction of technical debt such as Software Documentation, cyclomatic complexity reduction, etc., and help with defects/PRTS resolution.
