System Architect defining Brake and Thermal HIL architecture for General Motors vehicle controls. Leading real-time simulation, embedded-controller integration, and cross-functional engineering initiatives.
Responsibilities
Define and communicate the architecture vision and multi-year roadmap for Brake and Thermal HIL capabilities.
Define requirements and acceptance criteria for model fidelity, deterministic real-time execution, latency, scalability, and maintainability.
Provide technical direction for real-time plant-model strategies covering brake, chassis, vehicle-motion, suspension, thermal-management, HVAC, and heat-pump systems.
Guide integration of models and HIL environments with embedded controllers, control software, calibration tools, vehicle and subsystem hardware, electrical interfaces, and CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and automotive Ethernet networks.
Lead resolution of difficult technical issues spanning modeling, controls, embedded software, communications, electrical and mechanical interfaces, real-time platforms, and laboratory apparatus.
Partner with product management, software teams, hardware design-release teams, and test users to ensure delivered environments are fit for purpose.
Improve robustness, usability, maintainability, documentation, operational readiness, and safe use of HIL benches and supporting assets.
Lead large, ambiguous, and technically challenging initiatives across multiple engineering disciplines and organizational boundaries.
Mentor engineers, grow technical capability, and promote knowledge sharing and reuse.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
Typically 10 or more years of relevant engineering experience, including substantial experience with HIL, real-time simulation, embedded controls, or complex mechatronic test environments.
Recognized expertise in brake controls, chassis controls, propulsion thermal management, real-time simulation, or HIL architecture.
Experience defining architecture, technical roadmaps, system interfaces, non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and verification and validation strategies for complex engineering solutions.
Success leading large, ambiguous, and technically difficult initiatives across multiple disciplines and organizational boundaries.
Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink and real-time simulation platforms such as dSPACE SCALEXIO.
Strong understanding of plant-model development, calibration, model correlation, real-time execution, closed-loop simulation, and integration with embedded controllers and representative hardware.
Working knowledge of CAN/CAN FD, LIN, automotive Ethernet, and related engineering tools.
Familiarity with system safety, functional taxonomy and control architecture.
Experience with Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or equivalent languages.
Excellent written, verbal, and executive communication skills, with the ability to influence technical direction across teams.
