Senior Connectivity Verification Engineer

generalmotors; Warren (MI); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

General Motors is seeking a Senior Software Engineer – Connectivity Software Verification to ensure quality and performance of GM’s connected vehicle features, including Digital Key, Bluetooth, and telematics. You will lead verification strategy, build robust automation, and partner across embedded, systems, and validation teams.

The role demands hands-on test design, strong debugging, and experience with CI environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5+ years of professional experience in software verification, validation, or quality engineering.
• Strong experience testing embedded or real-time systems, ideally in automotive, mobile, telecom, or networking domains.
• Solid programming/scripting skills for test automation (e.g., Python; familiarity with C/C++ and/or Java is a plus).
• Familiarity with test management and CI environments (e.g., Jenkins, Git-based workflows).
• Strong debugging skills using logs, traces, and protocol analyzers (e.g., Bluetooth sniffers, network analyzers, CAN tools).

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end verification strategy for key connectivity features (Bluetooth, Digital Key, telematics, network connectivity - WLAN/VLAN) from requirements analysis through release readiness.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for in-vehicle connectivity software and supporting tools, with a focus on regression stability and coverage.
• Develop system-level and integration test cases that exercise edge cases, failure modes, roaming/hand-off scenarios, and interoperability across ECUs, mobile devices, and backend services.
• Analyze requirements, architecture, and design documents to identify test gaps and proactively influence design for testability.
• Build and extend test frameworks, harnesses, and utilities (e.g., Python-based automation, log parsing, simulators, stubs/mocks) to increase repeatability and execution speed.
• Perform hands-on debug and triage of complex issues across Bluetooth/Digital Key, telematics control units, and network connectivity (WLAN, VLAN) layers; capture traces and logs and partner with development to root-cause defects.
• Work with systems, cybersecurity, and performance teams to ensure connectivity software meets reliability, robustness, and security expectations.
• Contribute to continuous integration pipelines by integrating automated tests, stabilizing nightly/continuous runs, and reporting clear quality signals.
• Mentor more junior engineers in test design, automation best practices, and debugging techniques; help raise the overall bar for connectivity software verification.
• Provide clear, data-driven quality status and risk assessments to stakeholders and leadership.
