About The Position

The SDV Infrastructure Calibration Organization owns the delivery of foundational infrastructure calibrations across GM. We ensure platforms, domains, and software systems have the calibration content required to support safe, intelligent, and reliable operation across development, integration, validation, and production environments. Within that space, processor, microcontroller, and memory calibrations are a critical technical domain. These calibrations influence low-level system behavior, diagnostic monitoring, fault handling, performance, and platform stability. The team works across calibration, embedded software, diagnostics, HWIO, safety, and validation to ensure these calibrations are understood, applied correctly, and improved over time. We are also driving a more modern approach to infrastructure calibration by using automation, AI-assisted analysis, and scalable workflows to reduce manual work, improve repeatability, and strengthen technical rigor across the SDV ecosystem. We are looking for an SDV Infrastructure Calibration Specialist focused on Processor, Microcontroller, and Memory calibrations. This role will serve as a deep technical owner for micro-related infrastructure calibrations, with responsibility for understanding how the calibrations function, where they apply, how they should be tuned, and how they should evolve across programs and microcontroller contexts. This person will become a key subject matter expert across MCU0, MCU1, MCU2, and MCU3, developing strong command of calibration intent, dependencies, constraints, and expected behavior. The role requires deep learning, systems thinking, strong technical judgment, and the ability to work across safety, software, diagnostics, validation, and calibration teams to improve both calibration quality and calibration execution.
