Our Mission:
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role:

The VDSE Chassis Staff Feature Strategist is a key technical leader within the Vehicle Dynamics and Chassis Controls organization, responsible for overseeing development and release of vehicle dynamics state estimation (VDSE) features across multiple vehicle programs. This role ensures that VDSE content is planned, integrated, calibrated, verified, and delivered with high quality, in alignment with GM’s VIP and SDV architecture, program milestones, and customer performance targets. In this role you will work cross-functionally with other Feature Strategists, and the VDSE SW team, calibrators, and calibration TS to provide a single, domain-focused voice for VDSE strategy and execution.

As a VDSE Staff Feature Strategist you will:

Develop and maintain a calibration/integration plan for VDSE features that meets program and architecture deliverables, working with the ETL and other chassis controls feature strategists to understand and reflect the product roadmap.
Document and own key deliverable dates for each program (e.g., 65% calibration due date, calibration review due date, verification completion) and keep the broader team aligned to those milestones.
Track when relevant software content will be released to support the integration plan and communicate to the calibration team and VDSE calibration TS.
Own the rollout strategy for new VDSE features into development or production programs
Coordinate with the VDSE TS, calibrators, and SW team for rollout of any changes needed to address development or production PRTS, including development of the verification and deployment plan.
Communicate and coordinate across functional areas with other Feature Strategists (ABS, ESC, TCS, VMC, Steering, Suspension) to ensure that the VDSE plan meets the needs of the other domain areas.
Work with the VDSE TS and calibrators to understand any VDSE functional issues being highlighted by other domain areas. Drive read-across and adjust plans as necessary.
Maintain awareness of SW feature/functions that other domains require from VDSE as enablers for their areas, and ensure those functions are planned, implemented, and calibrated with the right fidelity at each milestone.
Monitor upcoming calibration and feature changes in other functional areas and cascade this information and timing to the VDSE TS and calibration team.
Provide clear feature/function deliverables to the calibration team, including defining and maintaining VDSE performance metrics.
Develop and own verification plans for VDSE features, ensuring coverage of metrics, cross‑feature interactions, and program‑specific use cases.
Prepare and present VDSE function‑specific status and issue summaries, clearly articulating risks, mitigation plans, and decision needs.

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications):

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Controls, or related field.
Significant experience (typically 7+ years) in chassis controls, vehicle dynamics, state estimation, or related embedded controls within automotive applications.
Demonstrated experience in calibration planning and execution for complex, multi‑feature controllers (e.g., EBCM, ICCM, CCU/MCU).
Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, IMU/WSS‑based state estimation, and chassis sensing (e.g., yaw/lateral/longitudinal acceleration, wheel speed, bank/grade).
Proven ability to effectively work cross-functionally
Experience with PRTS/issue management and structured problem‑solving, including tracking solutions into software and calibration
Comfortable working with SDV‑style toolchains and infrastructure (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, SPR/VeSCoM, CRETA, Cal Planner or equivalent).
Excellent communication, organization, and technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority across multiple programs.

What Will Give You and Edge (Preferred Skills):

Master’s degree in a relevant engineering or controls discipline.
Direct experience in VDSE calibration or algorithm development, or in closely related features (e.g., ABS/ESC/VAF, TCS/eAWD, DCI).
Experience with virtual calibration and test (HIL/SIL/Co‑Sim) and usage of model‑based toolchains (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).
