Job summary

GM is seeking a senior engineer to develop and refine embedded software controlling transmission systems. You will design algorithms, implement software for shift execution and diagnostics, and ensure integration with propulsion and vehicle systems in a fast-paced, Agile environment.

The role requires 5+ years in embedded software, strong C/MATLAB/Simulink skills, and the ability to lead technical discussions while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, high-quality

Qualifications

5+ years experience in embedded software, controls development, or software systems engineering.
Experience developing software control algorithms in C, MATLAB, Simulink.
Strong understanding of transmission, propulsion, torque management, or driveline controls.
Experience translating requirements into design, implementation, and verification content.
Experience integrating embedded controls with broader vehicle systems and cross-functional teams.
Strong understanding of software quality attributes and disciplined development processes.

Responsibilities

Develop software control algorithms for transmission functions across operating conditions.
Design, implement, and refine embedded software to control transmission behavior, shift execution, coordination, diagnostics, and feature performance.
Integrate transmission controls software with vehicle-level and propulsion system functions to ensure aligned behavior and robust system performance.
Translate system and algorithm requirements into software functional requirements, software design content, and implementation plans.
Perform software design, coding, peer reviews, and change management activities in accordance with GM software development processes, coding standards, and software discipline expectations.
Create and execute software verification activities, including unit, SIL, HIL, bench, and integration testing as appropriate.
Troubleshoot software and controls issues, analyze root causes, and drive issues to closure across development and validation activities.
Collaborate with calibration, systems, validation, integration, and architecture teams to deliver controls solutions that balance performance, quality, maintainability, and integration needs.
Provide technical leadership in work planning, software design reviews, and problem-solving discussions while helping align the team on sound engineering practices.
Support technical reviews and clearly communicate software design choices, risks, tradeoffs, and recommended actions to stakeholders.
Contribute to continuous improvement in software reuse, documentation quality, test coverage, and consistency with GM engineering standards.
