Our Mission:

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale

The Role:

We are looking for a highly motivated individual contributor who has knowledge of vehicle sensing hardware and a desire to work as a Design Release Engineer (DRE) .

This DRE will develop requirements and methods for using sensing technologies in new ways to solve challenges with Occupant and Pedestrian Protection systems, Chassis Dynamic Position Sensing, Thermal Vision, and/or Environmental Sensing. This DRE will implement new sensing strategies using acceleration, position and environmental sensors, radar, and camera technologies. This DRE performs complex assignments requiring a wider application of principles, theories, and concepts

  • Generate and maintain Component Technical Specifications (CTS) for sensing component hardware.
  • Close the Loop on learnings by updating required information (Best Practices, GM Specifications, Statement of Requirements, Template, etc.).
  • Work cross-functionally within GM, coordinating multiple suppliers.
  • Lead/manage supplier resident engineers.
  • Support sourcing activities, including creation of Statement of Requirements (SOR), Request for Information (RFI) and Statement of Development Work (SODW).
  • Generate technical solutions for new vehicle programs.
  • Perform complex design analysis.
  • Initiate documents to provide engineering authority and to maintain math/CAD data.
  • Work with engineering functions, suppliers, plant personnel and others to implement cost reduction, methods, and product improvements, and to support build programs.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Master’s degree in Engineering
  • Experience with Component Statement of Requirements (SOR) and Component Technical Specification (CTS) development
  • Experience with automotive PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) quality processes
  • Experience with “DRE Essentials” methods and tools
  • Experience in balancing and mitigating risks with projects, suppliers, quality, and production
  • DFMEA training
  • DFSS Black Belt Certification, Red X, and/or OpEx experience.
  • Design/Development of Safety Critical Systems/Components
  • Prior experience negotiating contracts
  • Prior experience working with build-to-print suppliers
  • Prior experience working with Corporate Common Components (CCC)
