About The Position

Job Description Job Description: Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week (or other frequency dictated by their manager). Welcome to the new era of ELECTRIFICATION! Our vision is a world with ZERO Crashes, ZERO Emissions, and ZERO Congestion. We embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer, and more equitable for all. We are going to ELECTRIFY the WORLD with exciting new products beyond the vehicle! The Electrification Solutions New Markets (ESNM) organization within Vehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls, (VMEC), has an opening for a SIL Simulation & Testing Software Engineer. 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. Role Summary: We are seeking creative, highly motivated, agile thinkers with passion, expertise, and great attention to detail. As a SIL SIE (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, knowledge of hardware and software integrated systems, and a demonstrated capability to handle a variety of technical customer needs. Acting as a 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. Additional Job Description: As a SIL Simulation and Testing Software Engineer in VMEC Electrification New Markets, your main responsibilities will be:
