General Motors • Markham, ON

15d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Staff System Architect – CoSim Diagnostics, NVM, Network & Data/Release owns the end‑to‑end architecture for: Diagnostic access, NVM life‑cycle behavior, and network behavior/corruption models in L3/L4 CoSim and related pipelines, and The data model, traceability, dashboards, and documentation connecting capabilities, packages, configs, tests, and results for the Virtualization organization. You will define how these behaviors and data flows are modeled, integrated into pipelines and exposed to test, quality, and program stakeholders, while ensuring alignment with security, safety, and release governance.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 12+ years of experience in software, systems, or platform engineering, including significant work with virtualization, SIL/CoSim, or complex automotive ECU/tooling ecosystems.
• Strong understanding of automotive diagnostics, including: UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services) RIDs/DIDs (Routine/Diagnostic IDs) DoIP (Diagnostics over IP)
• Familiarity with NVM handling and ECU boot sequences
• Experience with network simulation or protocol stacks, such as: Ethernet and IP‑based communication Simulated Ethernet or similar virtual network models
• Hands-on experience with modeling/scripting to implement behaviors and automation (e.g., Simulink, Python, Robot Framework, or equivalent).
• Strong background in data modeling, ETL, and reporting/BI, ideally in an engineering or test context.
• Experience building and maintaining data integrations and dashboards/reports (e.g., Power BI or similar) for execution metrics, coverage, and health.
• Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or similar) for log processing and API integration.
• Familiarity with Jira, CI/CD pipelines, and simulation tools’ logging conventions (e.g., GMSIM, dSPACE VEOS, ETAS COSYM, SOLE, Robot Framework, or similar).
• Excellent written communication for user documentation and release notes (Markdown, Confluence, Centrals, etc.).
• Proven ability to design, evolve, and maintain behavioral and data models that are consumed by multiple teams and tools.
• Strong collaboration skills with Pipeline & Execution, Plant Modeling, CoSim Package/Variant, Build & Toolchain, Quality/Defect stakeholders, and PMO.
• Ability to influence architecture and standards across organizational boundaries and sites.

Nice To Haves

• 15+ years of experience in software, systems, or platform engineering, including leadership of virtualization, SIL/CoSim, or data/traceability platform initiatives.
• Background in automotive or complex embedded systems, especially in areas such as battery management, propulsion, chassis, or body controls.
• Hands-on experience designing or integrating SIL/CoSim environments (e.g., virtual ECUs, FMUs, dSPACE VEOS, ETAS COSYM, SSP, or similar modeling/packaging standards).
• Experience with HV/LV and charging systems, including: BMS behavior, SoC/SoH, and HV battery limits/protections. AC/DC charging, onboard/offboard equipment, and interactions with LV networks. Charging-related diagnostics and fault scenarios (e.g., failed charge sessions, derating, connector/cable and thermal issues).
• Experience with test orchestration and execution management across distributed resources (e.g., Robot Framework, cloud or lab schedulers, execution farms).
• Experience building or evolving traceability and metrics platforms that connect capabilities, features, packages, configs, test plans, and execution results.
• Exposure to cloud-hosted or containerized execution environments for virtualization/SIL and data pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, influence technical direction without direct authority, and mentor senior engineers or architects.
