Staff Software Engineer– AI Enablement

Descripción

The Team:

The CoSim Infrastructure, Quality, and Scalability team, within GM’s Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, builds the foundational software, automation, and integration capabilities that make virtual ECUs and co-simulation environments reliable, reusable, and scalable across vehicle domains.

The team develops and evolves CoSim/SIL infrastructure—including SoftECU and FMI-based capabilities, RestBus and SIMETH connectivity, HWIO and calibration enablement, build and CI/CD pipelines, and automated quality gates—while improving package consistency, test coverage, observability, and defect triage.

Their work enables engineering, calibration, and verification teams to validate embedded-platform software earlier and with greater confidence, supporting daily regression testing as well as complex, multi-variant, multi-domain virtual validation. Within the broader Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, the team collaborates closely with domain teams to deliver high-fidelity virtual environments and advance GM’s software-defined vehicle development process.

The Role:

As a Staff Software Engineer , you will define the architecture for GM’s next‑generation virtual development platform, including SIL orchestration, AI‑enhanced simulation, data flows, and cloud‑native compute. 

You’ll build on your strengths in automation, embedded systems, and debugging while expanding into cloud orchestration, IaC, ML workflows, and distributed simulation systems. 

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities): 

• Architect distributed simulation systems  for vECUs, FMUs, and SIL/MIL workloads, ensuring scalable execution across heterogeneous environments. 

• Define AI ‑ enabled simulation patterns  including scenario generation, model‑based inference, and data pipelines. 

• Design cloud ‑ native compute platforms  optimized for large‑scale parallel, and elastically scalable simulation workloads. 

• Establish API and service architecture  for orchestration and data management. 

• Guide CI/CD integration  for simulation and AI components. 

• Mentor developers  and influence technical direction across teams. 

• Ensure security, observability, and reliability  across the platform. 

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.  

• 10+ years of relevant experience  in software architecture, simulation, or distributed systems. 

• Expertise in backend and distributed systems. 

• Experience with virtualization and simulation (vECUs, FMUs, SIL). 

• Strong cloud architecture skills. 

• Experience with CLI-based architecture and MCP-based architecture for AI tools design. 

• Experience with ontology-based system design and architecture. 

• AI/ML integration experience for simulation or data workflows. 

• Knowledge of data engineering and storage patterns. 

• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration. 

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications): 

• Experience designing simulation platforms  at enterprise scale. 

• Knowledge of automotive domain modeling  and ontology. 

• Experience with event ‑ driven architectures  for simulation workflows. 

• Experience with Agentic AI architecture and multi-agent coordination. 

• Advanced knowledge of ontology technologies and ontology design patterns (Owl, RDF, SPARQL, Automated reasoning) 

• Advanced ML workflow experience  (feature stores, model serving, vector DBs).
