Description

The Role:

VMEC (Vehicle Mechatronics Embedded Controls) is a production-level group that supports the definition, design, and development of all embedded controllers that impact vehicle motion. The VMEC group is comprised of inclusive and diverse Agile teams, where everyone has a voice in the conversation.

The Brake Control Software Engineer is an individual contributor with recognized expertise, responsible for work across the entire vehicle development lifecycle, including requirements definition, systems design and implementation, testing, and troubleshooting and resolving production issues.

In this role, you will directly impact GM vehicles on the road as well as new market opportunities. We are seeking creative, highly motivated engineers who are passionate about end-to-end development, with strong expertise in controls and software and great attention to detail. The selected candidate will develop controls software in collaboration with Scrum teams, using common VMEC methods and processes for feature development. You will help grow our controls capabilities and keep General Motors at the forefront of technology.

What You’ll do:

  • Develop and implement control algorithms for ABS, TCS, and ESC in brake controls using either model-based development (MATLAB/Simulink) or C/C++.
  • Define calibration strategies and promote robust coding practices in controls and software implementation.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and government regulations while following GM-internal best practices.
  • Maintain production software and manage version control.
  • Define software unit tests, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) tests, and vehicle tests based on customer expectations and system requirements.
  • Meet higher-level, physics-based requirements with efficient designs using modeling, simulation, data collection, and analysis.
  • Support resolution of vehicle, plant, or customer issues related to controls and calibration.
  • Help build tools, libraries, and training material to enable capability growth and support team learning.
  • Collaborate with other teams to define and integrate components and verify functionality on the bench and in the vehicle.
  • Work cross-functionally with System Engineers, Software Engineers, Feature/Function Engineers, Calibrators, and Scrum Managers/Scrum Leaders to ensure robust designs.
  • Mentor new employees to increase team capabilities and share knowledge.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.
  • Travel as required, primarily during the winter testing season.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • BS in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical), Computer Science, or equivalent degree.
  • Minimum 5+ years of engineering experience related to embedded controls and/or controls/software development.
  • Understanding of the Embedded Controls Development & Delivery Process.
  • Proficiency with:  Software coding (C language), Simulink, MATLAB, DOORS, GIT environments, Jira, Plant modeling and analysis tools
  • Strong knowledge of control system theory and its application to embedded systems.
  • Strong partnership and teamwork skills, with demonstrated ability to learn from and share knowledge with co-workers in a fast-paced environment, sometimes with incomplete requirements.
  • High level of analytical problem-solving skills, including handling unusual and difficult problems.
  • Ability to participate in cross-functional Scrum teams while demonstrating a high level of collaboration and negotiation.
  • High level of integrity, with the ability to deal with ambiguity and take initiative (self-directed).
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex projects and assignments with autonomy and accountability for results.
  • Consistent demonstration of innovative, customer-centric thinking.
  • Strong ability to capture and analyze empirical data to verify system performance.
  • Strong ability to interpret system requirements and translate them into control and software strategies.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills)

  • In-depth knowledge of algorithm/software development and calibration of vehicle motion controls, especially ABS control.
  • Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, particularly brake systems.
  • Experience with plant modeling and analysis tools, and with MIL, SIL, and HIL testing.
  • Experience with test tools, e.g., INCA, MDA, or similar tools from Vector.
  • Advanced driving skills and extensive experience in vehicle testing.
  • Strong skills in production software issue debugging and root-cause analysis.
  • Ability to balance feature performance demonstrated at the proving ground with real-world robustness.
  • Strong sense of personal responsibility and ownership for the features you develop.
