Job description

Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to the Markham Elevation Centre (MEC) office at least three times per week.

The Role

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation in its operations and its influence on the future of transportation. As part of our ZERO ZERO ZERO vision, we are seeking driven, innovative individuals to join our team. We are currently hiring for the position of Virtualization and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Integration Engineer to support our Test Environment Agile Release Train.

This role involves creating virtual in-the-loop environments for development, verification, and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations across domains such as Propulsion Thermal, Management System, Battery Management System, Chassis and Brake Controls, and Body Electronics and Controls—including vehicle access, occupant comfort, occupant protection, lighting, visibility, and vehicle state.

The Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Simulation Integration Engineers (SIE) are responsible for delivering high-quality simulation environments on time to meet customer requirements. The ideal candidate will have a passion for modeling, strong knowledge of system simulation and integration, and the ability to manage diverse technical and customer needs.

What You’ll Do

1. Create virtual controller models for use across different simulations.
2. Develop, maintain, and test virtual controller components such as HWIO (Hardware Input/Output), RTOS (Real Time Operating System), and communication models.
3. Develop and parameterize sub-system models, including sensors, actuators, and ECU behavioral models.
4. Integrate plant models and other ECU models into dynamic virtual simulations.
5. Create and maintain detailed documentation for each release.
6. Support released simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting.
