General Motors Proving Ground

Job Description
Role Summary
General Motors is expanding its in-house electronics capabilities to support next-generation Central Compute, ADAS, and software-defined vehicle platforms. The Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer will contribute across electrical architecture, circuit design, hardware integration, and validation to deliver robust, production-ready ECUs.
This role requires strong electrical engineering fundamentals combined with system-level thinking. The engineer will work across schematic development, component selection, layout guidance, electrical analysis, bring-up, and hardware/software interface definition.
Key Responsibilities
Hardware Architecture & Design
Contribute to hardware architecture including power topology, high-speed interfaces, clocking, resets, and system partitioning.
Develop and review schematics for complex mixed-signal and high-speed digital designs.
Perform component selection with consideration for electrical performance, automotive qualification, reliability, thermal, and power constraints.
Provide PCB layout guidance for signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI mitigation.
Participate in design reviews and technical trade studies.
Electrical Analysis & Robustness
Perform and review electrical analysis including:
WCCA (Worst Case Circuit Analysis)
Power distribution and sequencing validation
Interface margin and performance evaluation
Contribute to DFMEA activities, addressing both design and interaction-related risks.
Support Functional Safety (FuSA) hardware considerations as applicable.
Hardware Bring-Up & Debug
Lead and support bench-level bring-up including power-on sequencing, clock validation, reset behavior, and interface activation.
Debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol tools.
Analyze failures and drive root cause resolution across hardware and system boundaries.
Provide feedback to improve design robustness and integration margin.
Hardware–Software Interface & System Integration
Develop and maintain Hardware Software Interface Specifications (HSIS).
Collaborate with internal and external software teams during boot and low-level driver bring-up.
Ensure hardware interfaces are clearly defined, testable, and aligned with software usage.
Support system-level validation and readiness activities.
Verification & Cross-Functional Collaboration
Contribute to hardware verification test plans and bench validation activities.
Work closely with systems, software, validation, and manufacturing teams to ensure alignment.
Support EV/DV/PV validation phases and issue resolution.
Communicate technical status, risks, and mitigation plans clearly to stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
7+ years of experience in automotive or high-complexity electronics development.
Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design.
Experience with schematic development and PCB layout guidance.
Hands-on bench debugging experience.
Experience contributing to WCCA and DFMEA.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Central Compute, ADAS, infotainment, or high-performance ECUs.
Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe, DDR, SerDes).
Familiarity with automotive standards including ISO 26262 and EMC requirements.
Experience developing HSIS documentation.
Experience collaborating closely with software teams on HW/SW integration.
Experience supporting EV/DV/PV validation.
What We Offer
Opportunity to contribute to next-generation vehicle compute platforms.
Exposure across architecture, design, integration, and validation.
Collaboration with senior technical leaders across hardware, systems, and software.
