About The Position

The Role The Electrification Solutions New Markets (ESNM) organization within Vehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls, (VMEC), has an opening for a Software Engineer. ESNM is a start-up within VMEC that focuses on battery management, inverter, and electric motor solutions for non-automotive or 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! The VMEC ESNM team is seeking creative, highly motivated, agile problem solvers with passion and expertise in Embedded Controls and great attention to detail. The selected candidate will develop software and controls utilizing physics, supporting the growth of ESNM and emerging technologies What You'll Do: Create software for battery management, inverter, and electric motor system functions and perform integration and verification testing with minimal direction of lead engineers. Deliver scalable and modular software across all customers to enable a single software stream delivery Document requirements for design solutions and link them to test cases that can demonstrate software functionality Utilize automated test tools in build environments, benches, and products, to verify functionality of the feature Analyze software defects; determine root cause, create software solution, test and verify closure. Performs design and analysis on changes. Diagnose, debug and solve issues related to battery, inverter, and electric motor hardware and software Work with teams from multiple groups to meet project milestones Develop test cases and write comprehensive test plans to assess software products at different system levels. Identify and resolve software problems; contribute to the team knowledge base so common software errors, corner case situations and other learnings can be retained and shared. Support the evaluation of software packages, including data reviews, simulation behavioral test, automation methods, and authoring/execution of comprehensive test plans to assess software and simulation products at different system levels What You'll Need (Required Qualifications): BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or other applicable Engineering focuses. 2+ years of embedded software development experience. Experience developing, reading, and debugging source code in C, C++. Understanding of Invertors, Supervisory Controls, or Electric Motors What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications): Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or other applicable Engineering focuses. Knowledge of applied controls theory at the Battery, Inverter, or Electric Motor system level Expert level proficiency C, C++, Python, MATLAB, Simulink Proficiency in Agile processes and built-in quality concepts such as Behavioral Driven Development, Test Driven Development, or Model Based System Engineering Working knowledge of the software development process. Test automation (e.g., Jenkins), regression testing, and test procedure creation. Experience working in an Agile environment. Communication protocol and tool experience (Automotive Ethernet, CAN, LIN diagnostics, ETAS INCA, Intrepid NeoVI/VSpy, Vector CANoe/CANape tools). GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP (e.g., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT, etc.) NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
