We embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer, and more equitable for all. We are going to ELECTRIFY the WORLD with exciting new products beyond the vehicle! The Electrification Solutions New Markets (ESNM) organization within Vehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls (VMEC) has an opening for a Calibration Engineer. ESNM operates as a start‑up within VMEC, focused on delivering battery‑management solutions for non‑automotive applications and unique automotive products. In this role, you will directly support GM’s strategy to expand into emerging markets such as autonomous manufacturing, mobile power generation systems, stationary energy storage systems, specialty vehicles, watercraft, and locomotives. We are looking for creative, highly motivated, agile thinkers with a passion for embedded controls and a strong attention to detail. Ideal candidates enjoy solving complex problems with data‑driven rigor and thrive in a dynamic fast‑moving environment where collaboration and continuous improvement are central to how we deliver. Role Summary: As a Calibration Engineer, you will play a critical role in defining, developing, and continuously improving calibrations for control strategies, diagnostics, and controller communication. In this role, you will turn advanced designs into robust, production-ready calibrations using data from simulation, lab, and physical hardware environments. You will partner with software team, testing and validation team, and system safety on various battery management system features, ensuring that software behaves safely, intuitively, and consistently for customers. Additional Job Description: As a Calibration Engineer in VMEC Electrification New Markets, your main responsibilities will include:
- Diagnose and correct platform (hardware, HIL/SIL), system, and controls deficiencies
- Support resolution of platform, plant, lab, and customer issues
- Use analytical, scripting, and automation tools to develop and verify calibrations
- Develop, maintain, and follow calibration procedures and execution guides
- Participate in agile development teams and support algorithm development
- Deliver calibrations to the appropriate repository according to program milestones
- Identify software or controls deficiencies and submit issues through PRTS (Problem Tracking Resolution System) as appropriate
- Validate diagnostic performance and robustness across SIL, HIL/ChIL, battery lab, and physical hardware environments to minimize false alarms while protecting safety and hardware.
- Manage calibration content through GM’s calibration tools and workflows (change management, reviews, and release processes) to ensure traceable, high‑quality software deliveries.
- Generate requests for software and/or controls changes
- Create scripts as needed to verify calibration quality and accuracy
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
- 2+ years of experience in automotive controls, diagnostics, or calibration; EV / high‑voltage battery experience strongly preferred.
- Proven expertise with embedded controls and diagnostics for powertrain or EV systems (battery, inverter, charging, or related safety‑critical domains).
- Hands‑on experience with calibration and data tools (e.g., ETAS INCA, MDA, Vehicle Spy, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar) and calibration change‑management workflows/tools.
- Experience reading and debugging source code in C/C++/Python languages.
- Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet, SPI).
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex data, define calibration strategies, and deliver robust solutions.
- Master’s degree in relevant engineering discipline.
- 2+ years of experience in electrification controls and diagnostics in areas such as battery management systems, energy transfer, AC/DC charging, high voltage contactor controls, power allocation, and wireless battery communication
- Demonstrated impact in process improvement or method development (e.g., new robustness methods, automation scripts, or tools) within a calibration or diagnostics team.
- Familiarity with virtual and lab‑based calibration methods (e.g. SIL, HIL/ChIL).
- Experience with GM calibration standard work (CalCheck, CEGs, JFTs) or Jira.
- Experience with Scaled Agile or Agile
- Understanding of GM Vehicle Development Process
- DFSS Green or Black Belt
