Senior Engineer specializing in diagnostic specifications and embedded software for Driveline and Trailering within GM. Involves collaboration across multiple teams to enhance automotive system performance.
Responsibilities
Own diagnostic specification development for Driveline and Trailering mechatronic systems, including DTC strategy, enable and inhibit conditions, set and recovery logic, customer notification strategy, remedial actions, and diagnostic data requirements such as freeze frame and Figure of Merit expectations.
Define, design, implement, and release embedded application software and diagnostics for chassis mechatronic control features, translating requirements into software design, implementation, and verification activities.
Lead or directly support software implementation across controller, subsystem, and vehicle levels, including software integration, anomaly resolution, and technical issue troubleshooting.
Use automated development and test environments including SIL, HIL, bench, and in-vehicle validation to verify software functionality and diagnostic behavior.
Drive robust diagnostic design reviews with internal GM stakeholders and suppliers, ensuring implementation meets GM requirements, passes software design review gates, and is approved for release.
Improve diagnostic robustness for edge cases such as environmental variation, part-to-part variation, startup and initialization behavior, hot starts, transient power behavior, and partial networking conditions.
Support common, standardized diagnostic architecture across Mechanical Driveline and Trailering controls, including creation and execution of diagnostic CGs, regression testing strategy, and diagnostic design governance.
Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, controls, calibration, software integration, validation, manufacturing, product, and supplier teams to deliver high-quality technical solutions in a SAFe / agile development environment.
Contribute technically to integrated chassis feature development where Driveline and Trailering capabilities intersect with braking, steering, suspension, propulsion torque management, and broader vehicle motion coordination.
Act as a senior technical contributor and domain leader, helping raise the organization’s capability in diagnostic specification, software implementation discipline, and mechatronic systems understanding.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical degree / experience.
Strong experience in embedded controls software development, including requirements understanding, software design, implementation, unit testing, software integration testing, and production release support.
Demonstrated experience in automotive diagnostics specification and implementation, including UDS, diagnostic infrastructure, diagnostic software implementation, and related validation practices.
Strong working knowledge of safety-critical software development and engineering best practices consistent with ISO 26262.
Experience with automotive communication and software implementation concepts spanning CAN, LIN, and Ethernet.
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with capability to resolve unusual and difficult technical problems and drive issues to closure.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with ability to work effectively across internal GM teams and external supplier organizations.
