Sr. Propulsion System Safety Engineer (GPSSC)

Descripción

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

System Safety Engineering is a multidisciplinary organization that is chartered with the goal of assessing vehicle features and systems to ensure that they are designed to be safe and free from unreasonable risk. System Safety Engineering spans the entire lifecycle of the vehicle from early in the vehicle development process through production and customer use.

Our team is looking for a technically agile and highly energetic System Safety Engineer to support propulsion in both the engine controls and/or electrification domains. This work directly supports overall System Safety Case development for these technologies that are critical in achieving GM’s path to Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion!

The System Safety Engineer will work in a fast-paced and iterative work environment to ensure that system safety processes and methods are applied during the creation, development, and validation of Engine Control and Electrification Propulsion Systems. They will be responsible for specifying requirements so that propulsion system safety can be achieved under all operating and customer usage conditions. This role requires application of systems level thinking while partnering across the engineering organization to deploy System Safety solutions across our diverse and evolving technology set.
