Embedded Software Engineer

Description

As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Vehicle Mechatronics Embedded Controls (VMEC) team, you will contribute to the design, development, and deployment of embedded control systems that support vehicle motion, access, visibility, occupant protection, and comfort across GM's global portfolio.

In this role, you will focus on developing Body Controls software for GM vehicles worldwide, working within Agile teams responsible for end-to-end delivery-including requirements, development, testing, and verification. Your primary focus will be embedded software development and testing in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

Job Description

You will work as part of an Agile Scrum team developing embedded automotive control systems. Multiple openings are available across body control domains such as lighting, vehicle access, and closures. Final placement will be determined during the interview process based on business needs and your experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Collaborating with Product Managers, testers, and fellow developers using methodologies like Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) to deliver features for GM's next-generation EV and ICE vehicles.
• Designing, implementing, and integrating complex embedded software systems in hand-coded C, with flexibility in selecting implementation approaches.
• Developing and maintaining unit tests and multicomponent tests, including model/code equivalence testing, to ensure robust software validation.
• Participating fully in Agile team activities and ceremonies.
• Working closely with internal teams such as calibration and vehicle integration.
• Partnering with GM suppliers to define and validate provided software libraries.

• Experience with writing and debugging C code and/or Rational Rhapsody

• Minimum 3 years of embedded software development experience preferred; familiarity with GM or other automotive software standards (eg. AUTOSAR), test procedures and build processes an asset

• Experience with CppUTest framework including debugging CppU Tests and implementing dynamic scheduler.

• Experience with software configuration management processes and tools (e.g. Git Ecosystem) preferred

• Experience in deciphering Ethernet, CAN and LIN Logs.

• Development / testing experience on SIL/HIL or other virtual environments

• Individually motivated; Scrum Team members are expected to pursue their goals with a high degree of independence and motivation

• Prior experience working in Agile / Scrum / SAFe is an asset, but not required

• Good oral and written communication skills are required, and high level of interpersonal skills to work effectively in a geographically dispersed team

• Ability to manage time and meet deliverable timing is critical

• Experience in any of the domains noted above an asset but not required (vehicle access, occupant position, protection, vision & visibility, and comfort/HVAC)
