The Role

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation in how we operate and influence the future of transportation. As part of our ZERO ZERO ZERO vision, we seek driven, innovative individuals to join our team. We are currently hiring for the role 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 including vehicle access, occupant comfort, and vehicle safety features.

The Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Simulation Integration Engineers (SIE) are responsible for delivering high-quality simulation environments on time, tailored to customer requirements. Candidates should 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

• Create virtual controller models for various simulations
• Develop, maintain, and test virtual controller components such as HWIO (Hardware Input/Output), RTOS (Real Time Operating System), and communication models
• Develop and parameterize sub-system models, including sensors, actuators, and ECU behavioral models
• Integrate plant models and other ECU models into dynamic virtual simulations
• Document each release in detail
• Support released simulations and assist with user testing and troubleshooting
