About The Position

Join the team shaping the platform behind GM’s next generation of software-defined vehicles. Vehicle Software & Electronics Platform Engineering connects electrical architecture, embedded systems, CI/CD, virtualization, and test infrastructure to help turn complex vehicle content into scalable, launch-ready products. This role is pivotal in ensuring electronics integration becomes a core consideration in vehicle architecture, not an afterthought. At GM, you will have the opportunity to lead at the center of vehicle innovation, influence how software and electronics come together physically across our global lineup, and build the capabilities that will enable faster, safer, smarter, and more cost-efficient vehicles. We are seeking an experienced, visionary leader to head the Electrical Integration Engineering Organization. In this role, you will own the global strategy for numerical optimization tools that define innovative and optimized physical integration of electronics across GM’s global vehicle portfolio. This leader thinks beyond traditional physical part packaging, using modeling, optimization, and data to redefine how electrical and electronics systems are physically realized - bridging advanced analytical methods with real-world vehicle execution to translate complex trade-offs into clear, data-driven decisions that improve cost, performance, and development velocity at scale. This role directly shapes platform-level architecture decisions, compounding value across programs and scaling across the portfolio, improving both engineering efficiency and product competitiveness. You will lead Physical Integration Engineers to execute the following Technologies: Active Safety Interior Lighting Audio Low Voltage Power Chassis Occupant Sensing & Comfort Compute Passive Safety Connectivity Propulsion Displays Vehicle Access & Security Unifying integration strategies across these areas, ensuring packaging, harness optimization, electrical integrity, manufacturability, and cross-functional execution are addressed consistently and early in vehicle development. Driving architecture and program development by laying out the electrical system alongside critical architectural systems such as body structure, propulsion, occupant package, and studio theme. Driving the development tools, processes, and methods to optimize packaging for a given set of modules. Informing the design of future electrical architectures. Mission: Use computer-driven optimization of physical product layout/design under real constraints like space, geometry, wiring rules, assembly efficiency, and serviceability. Optimize total enterprise cost across architectures and programs. This position reports to the Director of Electrical Engineering Integration, the organization responsible for the physical integration strategy of electronics across GM vehicles.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or other relevant discipline.
8+ years of engineering experience in a technical environment with strong analytical capabilities.
Proven leadership experience in vehicle execution and total vehicle physical packaging, including experience using computer aided drafting software.
Experience leading tool development.
Experience with post-crash electrical integrity requirements, assembly sequencing optimization, module flashing, and network design and balancing.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Ability to pull together total enterprise solutions and recommendations for programs.

Responsibilities

Lead cross-functional collaboration with packaging teams across all vehicle domains to ensure electronics integration is considered early and holistically in the design process.
Shape advanced vehicle development by improving electronics packaging strategies that reduce wiring harness cost, complexity, and downstream tradeoff inefficiencies.
Develop expertise and standards in critical areas such as post-crash electrical integrity, network design, electrical redundancy, manufacturing assembly processes, module flashing, and sequencing for efficient installation.
Influence other parts of the organization to ensure electrical integration requirements are included in trade-off studies and design decisions from the beginning.
Build advanced toolchains, methods, and processes that enable rapid optimization of design, packaging, and integration at the speed required for iterative development.
Drive operational excellence by balancing cost, mass, assembly effort, manufacturing sequencing, and quality to achieve world-class integration and efficiency.
Set the vision for the organization to drive speed and innovation in electrical packaging and physical integration, enabling GM to deliver industry leading vehicles that are smarter, safer, and more cost-efficient.
