About The Position

As a Senior Issue Resolution Specialist within GM’s Vehicle Electronics & Software Execution organization, you’ll play a critical role in protecting the customer experience.

You’ll partner closely with ECU teams across GM, working with TAC (Technical Assistance Center), Field Service Engineering, Brand Quality, Program Quality, and others to understand what customers and technicians are seeing in the field. You’ll also leverage fleet data, including OnStar insights, to proactively uncover emerging issues before they scale. You’ll use CTF (Captured Test Fleet) vehicles, development vehicles, and field feedback to reproduce issues, validate fixes, and ensure robust diagnostic strategies. In this role, you’ll also mentor newer team members and help scale our issue‑resolution capability as the number of vehicle programs continues to grow. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced launch environments and loves rolling up their sleeves to solve complex technical problems.
