About The Position

The Super Cruise Vehicle Systems Engineer supports the build, integration, and readiness of data collection vehicles used to develop and validate Super Cruise. The role spans physical hardware, software, vehicle sensors, compute systems, and data-logging equipment. The engineer plans and executes vehicle builds, configures sensors, sets up compute hardware, checks harnesses, uses related equipment, and verifies the functionality of vehicles and data-collection systems. The role also performs computer-based integration activities, including flashing software and firmware, configuring ECUs and development computers, confirming hardware and software versions, reviewing logs and diagnostic data, and supporting bench and in-vehicle debugging. The engineer investigates technical issues, reproduces failures, coordinates root cause analysis with engineering and operations teams, tracks corrective actions, and drives issues through resolution. The engineer supports data-collection activities by preparing vehicles, monitoring system performance, documenting build configurations and test results, and coordinating timely issue resolution so vehicles are safe, reliable, and ready for use. The role is hybrid and based in Warren, Michigan, with an expectation to report to that location. It may be eligible for relocation benefits.
