• Proven track record as a System Architect, Software/System Engineer, or SIL/CoSim lead across multiple programs.
• Strong understanding of body electronics/controls (vehicle access, cabin thermal, occupant positioning, lighting, visibility, occupant protection, vehicle state).
• Hands‑on experience with SIL or Co‑Simulation environments, including virtual ECUs, plant models, and communication models.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink for plant/behavior models and familiarity with FMI/SSP standards.
• Strong skills in C/C++ and Python; experience with automated build/CI tools (Jenkins, Git, gcc/gdb, Eclipse).
• Knowledge of CAN, LIN, automotive Ethernet; ability to model or configure RestBus in simulation.
• Ability to lead cross‑functional technical discussions, drive consensus, and trade‑offs across performance, quality, and delivery.

Responsibilities

• Provide architectural leadership for body‑controls Co‑Simulation across the VnSI Body Domain and set the long‑term vision for CoSim capabilities.
• Define high‑level CoSim architecture for body controls, aligning with SDV direction and infrastructure.
• Define variant and configuration management strategy for CoSim packages across programs and model years.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure CoSim architecture is understood and adopted across teams.
• Define SIMBOMs mapping test requirements to CoSim assets for each configuration.
• Establish standards for CoSim packaging, documentation, versioning, and release notes.
• Ensure CoSim deliveries integrate into CI pipelines and GM networks/diagnostics.
• Own RestBus and behavioral modeling architecture within CoSim, including network patterns and performance budgets.
• Support CI/CD for virtual ECUs and CoSim packages and align with quality gates.
• Provide mentorship on CoSim modeling, RestBus design, and SDV concepts.
