Embedded Software Engineer - Electrification Propulsion

Full-time

General Motors Proving Ground

Job Description

Work Arrangement:

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.

The Role:

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer to design, develop, implement, and test embedded controls algorithms and SW for electrified vehicles propulsion systems. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams, create robust testing strategies, and ensure compliance with GM’s coding standards.

If you are passionate about software engineering and take pride in building high-quality embedded software, consider joining our Vehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls (VMEC) organization. VMEC is made up of inclusive, diverse Agile teams where every voice is valued. Our software development process transforms customer requirements into design solutions, implements production-ready code, executes robust testing, and integrates those solutions directly into GM vehicles.

The software you help create will be featured in vehicles such as the GMC HUMMER EV, Cadillac LYRIQ, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and more. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on GM’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle portfolio and contribute to our vision of a fully electric ecosystem, including innovative energy storage solutions for homes and businesses.

What You'll Do:

  • Develop, implement and test embedded controls algorithms and software for electrification propulsion systems.
  • Translate physics-based and controls-based requirements into robust mechatronic control and diagnostics software.
  • Demonstrate feature functionality and readiness through testing.
  • Contribute to common, scalable software solutions across GM-owned platforms.
  • Document requirements, link them to test cases, and ensure thorough verification of software functionality.
  • Use automated test tools and environments-including builds, benches, and vehicles-to verify performance at the controller, system, and vehicle level.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical, Computer Science, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline
  • 2+ years of experience in embedded controls software development
  • Proficiency in C and C++ programming
  • Knowledge of Auto Code Generation
  • Familiarity with development and calibration tools such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS INCA, or Vector CANape
  • Familiarity with distributed version control systems such as GIT
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across organizations
  • Ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to work independently under tight timelines
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Science Engineering
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded controls software development
  • Strong experience with C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, auto-code generation, Python, ETAS Tools (INCA/MDA) and other development/testing tools
  • Experience with JIRA and the Scaled Agile Framework
  • Knowledge of bootloaders, embedded operating systems, controller communication, or diagnostics
  • Familiarity with AUTOSAR standards and methodologies
  • Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet
  • Experience with software or system architecture design

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}. This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.
