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

Global Manufacturing Electrical & SDV is looking for innovators who are passionate about tackling meaningful work that will shape the future of the automotive industry. While there will be long days, tough moments, and challenges that push you to grow, you’ll find purpose in your work, flexibility to prioritize your family, and the support of a people-first culture. If you’re ready to grow, thrive, and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.

WHY: The purpose of this role is to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced manufacturing technologies by rapidly designing, building, and implementing innovative electrical solutions. As manufacturing technology evolves, there is a critical need for engineers who can drive progress by developing complex firmware/software, integrating with embedded systems and swiftly prototyping and validating new concepts. This position is essential for bridging gaps between IT, product engineering, manufacturing, and operations—ensuring that cutting-edge manufacturing solutions are tested and supported effectively.

WHAT: As a Manufacturing Embedded Systems Developer, you will develop, validate, and maintain firmware, software and embedded systems for GM Manufacturing tools and processes.

HOW: Supporting the plants to make it happen for our customers.

The successful candidate is expected to report to the Warren Tech Center on a full-time basis. This role requires up to 25% domestic and international travel.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

• Design, develop, maintain, and debug embedded firmware and applications using C and C++.

• Build and validate applications that support all stages of manufacturing electrical testing—from fluid‑fill stations to full vehicle End‑of‑Line (EOL) testing.

• Contribute to PCB-related work, including documentation and support for interface boards, break‑out panels, test hardware, and new manufacturing tools.

• Support the full hardware lifecycle: concept design, schematic capture, layout review, DFM considerations, fabrication/assembly coordination, firmware bring‑up, and validation.

• Diagnose and resolve issues with vehicle ECUs using CAN (ISO15765), UDS (ISO14229), and DoIP (ISO13400) communication protocols.

• Collaborate with IT teams to ensure smooth integration between manufacturing applications and GM’s IT infrastructure.

• Participate in system verification, testing, and validation activities for tools and systems used across Manufacturing Software.

• Adapt quickly and support multiple large‑scale projects in a fast‑moving environment.

• Contribute to a forward‑thinking, innovative team culture that embraces change and future challenges.

• Build strong relationships across software, manufacturing, and program management teams to drive cross‑functional innovation.

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 5+ years of experience in firmware and embedded software development

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

• Advanced programming skills in C/C++

• Strong understanding of embedded systems and hardware bring‑up

• Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, SoCs, or SBCs (NXP, TI, STM32, Raspberry Pi, etc.)

• Experience with I/O control and wireless protocols (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth)

• Exceptional debugging and troubleshooting skills across hardware, firmware, and networking

• Working knowledge of computer networking, including:

  • TCP/IP, switches/routers, VLANs, basic routing

  • Ability to diagnose issues using ping, traceroute, Wireshark, etc.

• Hands‑on experience with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and DoIP

• Knowledge of vehicle electrical/mechanical systems and electrical architectures

• Strong technical communication skills in English

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Demonstrated PCB experience: schematic creation, layout review, signal integrity, power distribution, EMI/EMC considerations

• Experience with diagnostic protocols (DoIP, SoAD, UDS) and tools such as Vehicle Spy, CANoe, or similar

• Exposure to automotive assembly plant processes or End‑of‑Line testing environments

• Familiarity with GitHub, Jira, or similar development and workflow tools

• Experience with End‑of‑Line Assembly Verification systems (e.g., GTS)
