The role:

Our Software Development process translates Customer requirements into designs, creates code, executes testing, and then integrates our solutions into reality. Our team’s software is deployed across GM’s entire portfolio of electric vehicles.
Please review the Software Engineer role descriptions and required skillsets. All skillsets are NOT required collectively. Passion, ability to learn quickly, and interest in the products are important to us!
