Israelvcforum

Job Description Join us in shaping the future of mobility at General Motors, where innovation drives everything we do. Our team is building next-generation autonomous platforms, integrating advanced sensors and embedded systems to deliver safe, intelligent, and scalable solutions. Why This Role Matters Autonomous systems rely on seamless integration of sensors and embedded compute platforms. Your work will directly influence reliability, performance, and safety, impacting millions of customers and setting industry benchmarks. As a Senior Systems Engineer , you will be at the heart of this transformation—leading systems engineering efforts that ensure seamless integration of sensors and compute platforms. This role combines technical depth with collaboration, giving you the opportunity to influence subsystem design, optimize performance, and contribute to the reliability and safety of cutting‑edge autonomous technologies. You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers in a fast‑paced, mission‑driven environment where your ideas matter and your impact is real. What You’ll Be Doing (Responsibilities) Lead all aspects of systems engineering for sensors and embedded platforms, from requirements to integration. Own subsystem‑level strategy and influence platform‑wide decisions. Develop and maintain technical specifications, requirements, and interface definitions. Drive architectural reviews and enforce best practices for embedded development. Collaborate across hardware, software, and test teams to ensure seamless integration. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team capability building. Communicate technical concepts effectively to stakeholders at all levels. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, embedded systems, or sensor integration. Bachelor’s Degree in relevant field or relevant work experience. Strong understanding of system engineering processes, V‑Model, and safety‑critical design principles. Experience in one or more of our key technology areas: sensor platforms, operating systems, or middleware. Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills. What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications) 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, embedded systems, or sensor integration. Familiarity with ISO 26262 and functional safety standards. Ability to read/understand source code (C/C++) and system models. Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet). Experience in product release and specification processes. 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). The selected candidate will be required to travel Compensation Salary range: $160,000 to $240,000. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position. Bonus Potential: An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance. Benefits: GM offers a variety of health and wellbeing benefit programs. Benefit options include medical, dental, vision, Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Accounts, retirement savings plan, sickness and accident benefits, life insurance, paid vacation & holidays, tuition assistance programs, employee assistance program, GM vehicle discounts and more. Non‑Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunities (U.S.) General Motors is committed to being a workplace that is not only free of unlawful discrimination, but one that genuinely fosters inclusion and belonging. We strongly believe that providing an inclusive workplace creates an environment in which our employees can thrive and develop better products for our customers.
