Descripción
The Role:
General Motors is seeking Senior Embedded Controls Software Engineers to help build next-generation suspension control systems from the ground up. This team owns brand-new software development, bringing key capabilities in-house for the first time. This role is best suited for someone who is well skilled in writing C code by hand and produces high quality production embedded software.. This role is also well suited for skilled software engineers who enjoy working in ambiguity, influencing technical direction, and building new capability in a fast-moving team.
You will work at the intersection of controls and software, developing embedded solutions that directly impact vehicle performance across GM’s portfolio.
Step into a role where you don’t just contribute but also create. You’ll play a key role in building supervisory control software for advanced suspension systems, shaping how these systems perform in real-world conditions.
This team operates with a start-up mindset inside GM—fast-moving, highly collaborative, and working through ambiguity to develop new capabilities. This role offers strong growth and long-term impact opportunities.
What you’ll Do:
- Design, implement, and test embedded control software using hand-coded C (non-model-based, non-scripted)
- Own software from architecture through implementation, testing, and release
- Build and maintain robust unit and integration tests with strong traceability
- Drive software quality, including maintainability, robustness, and MISRA compliance
- Contribute to Agile development (story breakdown, reviews, demos, retrospectives)
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues
- Influence technical decisions and drive continuous improvement
- Mentor team members and promote best practices
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
- Strong, current hands-on experience writing production code in C (non-scripting, non-model-based)
- Ability to design, implement, and debug embedded software directly in C is required
- Experience only interpreting auto-generated code (e.g., from MATLAB/Simulink) is not sufficient
- 5+ years of embedded software development experience
- Experience with embedded systems testing (unit and integration)
- Working knowledge of C++ and/or Python
- Experience with version control (Git) and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira)
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
- Ability to work effectively in environments with evolving requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience with vehicle dynamics (suspension, steering, or braking)
- Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink (in addition to—not instead of—hand coding)
- Experience with automotive standards, diagnostics, or calibration tools
- Experience in Agile/SAFe environments
- Advanced degree in a related field
- Familiarity with Jira, Git, and agile software development practices
- Knowledge of BDD, TDD, diagnostics, calibration tools, and automotive development processes
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical work
