About The Position

The Role: The Electrification Solutions New Markets (ESNM) organization within Vehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls, (VMEC), has an opening for a Simulation & Testing Technical Lead. ESNM is a start-up within VMEC that focuses on battery management solutions for non-automotive and unique automotive products. In this role, you will directly impact GM’s strategy to expand into new markets such as Autonomous Manufacturing, Mobile Power Generation Systems, Stationary Energy Storage Systems, Specialty Vehicles, Watercraft, and Locomotives! We are seeking creative, highly motivated, agile thinkers with passion and expertise in Simulation, Controls and Software, with great attention to detail. We are seeking creative, highly motivated, agile thinkers with passion, expertise, and great attention to detail. As a Senior SIL SIE (Software in the Loop – Simulation Integration Engineer), you will play a critical role in leading the creation of virtual simulation environments to enable verification and validation of embedded controllers for electrified applications. You would be a great candidate if you have a passion for virtualization, an adept knowledge of hardware and software integrated systems, and a demonstrated capability to handle a wide variety of technical customer needs. Acting as a Senior SIL SIE, you will be part of an Agile team in the VMEC Electrification Controls and Software New Markets ART (Agile Release Train), working very closely with internal development teams, to integrate and deliver simulation environments on time and with quality.
