Descripción

Work Arrangement:

Hybrid:  

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.

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.

Hybrid: This full-time position does not require an employee to be on-site full-time to perform most effectively. However, this position requires an employee to be onsite at least three days a week. 

The Role:

 We are seeking highly motivated and innovative professionals to develop advanced controls and software.  The role involves designing cutting-edge embedded control and estimation algorithms using data-driven methods, advanced model-based control strategies, and leveraging telemetry and data analytics techniques.

As part of a high-performance team, you will collaborate across disciplines to drive innovation in next-generation control technologies. Strong technical expertise in embedded controls, software development, and the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively are essential. If you're passionate about shaping the future of automotive and non-automotive control applications, we encourage you to apply!

What You’ll do:

  • Development of advanced control and estimation algorithms, ensuring robustness, efficiency, and scalability across multiple domains, including vehicle dynamics, propulsion, energy management, and thermal systems.

  • Develop, test, and validate embedded control software using industry-standard tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, HIL, SIL, vehicle testing) to ensure performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.

  • Work closely with hardware teams to assess sensing sufficiency and incorporate learnings from design analysis into robust control algorithms.

  • Define and refine control system requirements in collaboration with systems engineers, architects, and technical specialists, ensuring seamless integration into production environments.

  • Ensure project milestones, software development cycles, and validation strategies align with organizational goals, maintaining high-quality execution and adherence to safety standards.

  • Participate in issue resolution initiatives, troubleshoot performance issues, leveraging data analytics, telemetry, and testing feedback to refine and optimize control solutions.

  • Analyze system behavior, conduct AFMEA, and implement diagnostic and prognostic strategies to enhance system reliability and predictive capabilities.

  • Contribute to technology roadmaps, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and integrating new methodologies, such as model-based and data-driven approaches.

  • Protect intellectual property by developing and documenting innovative solutions through patents and technical publications.

  • Support and contribute to technical mentorship, knowledge sharing, and process improvements to enhance team efficiency and expertise.

  • This role offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, shaping the future of control systems across automotive and non-automotive applications.
