Senior Calibration Specialist – SDV

Descripción

Work Classification:

Hybrid: The successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI three times per week, at minimum, or as dictated by the business.

The Team:

The SDV Infrastructure Calibration Organization owns the delivery of foundational infrastructure calibrations across GM. We ensure platforms, domains, and software systems have the calibration content required to support safe, intelligent, and reliable operation across development, integration, validation, and production environments.

Within that space, processor, microcontroller, and memory calibrations are a critical technical domain. These calibrations influence low-level system behavior, diagnostic monitoring, fault handling, performance, and platform stability. The team works across calibration, embedded software, diagnostics, HWIO, safety, and validation to ensure these calibrations are understood, applied correctly, and improved over time.

We are also driving a more modern approach to infrastructure calibration by using automation, AI-assisted analysis, and scalable workflows to reduce manual work, improve repeatability, and strengthen technical rigor across the SDV ecosystem.

The Role:

We are looking for an SDV Infrastructure Calibration Specialist focused on Processor, Microcontroller, and Memory calibrations. This role will serve as a deep technical owner for micro-related infrastructure calibrations, with responsibility for understanding how the calibrations function, where they apply, how they should be tuned, and how they should evolve across programs and microcontroller contexts.

This person will become a key subject matter expert across MCU0, MCU1, MCU2, and MCU3, developing strong command of calibration intent, dependencies, constraints, and expected behavior. The role requires deep learning, systems thinking, strong technical judgment, and the ability to work across safety, software, diagnostics, validation, and calibration teams to improve both calibration quality and calibration execution.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the technical understanding, execution, and continuous improvement of processor, microcontroller, and memory-related infrastructure calibrations

• Build strong working knowledge across MCU0, MCU1, MCU2, and MCU3 and develop guidance that drives consistency in how microcontroller calibrations are applied and managed

• Perform deep dives into calibration guides, requirements, design intent, and technical documentation to understand what calibrations do, why they exist, and where they apply

• Analyze calibration behavior, dependencies, constraints, anomalies, and program applicability across vehicle, bench, and CoSim environments

• Learn the HWIO layer and related low-level software behavior to understand how processor and microcontroller systems must be tuned to support correct operation, performance, and stability

• Review calibration and validation test data, interpret technical results, and recommend sound calibration adjustments when needed

• Work through calibration decisions with safety and cross-functional stakeholders, balancing technical intent, system requirements, constraints, and program needs

• Break complex calibration behavior into understandable functional components, identify root causes, and support anomaly correction when issues are discovered

• Serve as the single source of truth for micro calibrations, including calibration purpose, parameter usage, known issues, program differences, and operating guidance

• Use AI tools, scripting, structured analysis, and automation to determine how calibrations operate, uncover patterns and relationships, and accelerate technical work

• Create tools, workflows, and automations that support calibrators, improve repeatability, and reduce manual effort across the micro calibration domain

• Challenge unnecessary complexity by asking why parameters exist in the first place and identifying opportunities to eliminate, simplify, standardize, or automate calibrations where appropriate

• Help establish stronger best practices, clearer guidance, and more scalable operating methods across the processor, microcontroller, and memory calibration space

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Controls, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field

• 5+ years of experience in calibration, embedded software, infrastructure software, diagnostics, microcontroller systems, or related automotive technical work

• Strong technical curiosity and ability to learn complex processor, microcontroller, memory, and infrastructure calibration behavior in depth

• Experience interpreting technical requirements, design documentation, calibration guides, or system behavior to determine correct application of calibration content

• Familiarity with embedded systems, low-level software interactions, diagnostics, and microcontroller-based architectures

• Ability to analyze complex technical systems, compare variants and behaviors, and identify patterns, deltas, dependencies, and root causes

• Experience reviewing validation or test data and using sound engineering judgment to support technical adjustments and issue resolution

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage technical complexity without losing clarity or discipline

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across calibration, software, safety, validation, and stakeholder teams

• Ability to work independently, build subject matter expertise, and drive execution in a fast-paced environment

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Master’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field

• 8+ years of experience in infrastructure calibration, embedded systems, diagnostics, or SDV-related software environments

• Experience with processor integrity, memory integrity, microcontroller monitoring, diagnostic calibration, or related low-level infrastructure domains

• Familiarity with HWIO, low-level software interfaces, communication stacks, or diagnostic frameworks relevant to microcontroller behavior

• Experience using Python, scripting, AI-assisted analysis, or automation tools to improve calibration understanding, execution, or workflow efficiency

• Experience supporting calibration consistency across multiple controllers, programs, or variant environments

• Experience working with safety teams or balancing calibration decisions against technical and system-level safety requirements

• Experience creating technical guidance, best practices, or automation workflows that improve calibration quality, standardization, and scalability

• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to become the go-to technical expert in a complex and evolving domain

Este puesto se clasifica como híbrido. Esto significa que se espera que el candidato seleccionado se presente en una ubicación específica al menos 3 veces por semana {o con otra frecuencia indicada por su líder}.

Este puesto podría ser elegible para beneficios de relocalización.
