Descrição
Work Arrangement:
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, Michigan or Warren, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.
Our Mission:
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.
The Role:
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 Testable Functionality Rollout Plan (TFRP) is GM’s framework for rolling out software and hardware functionality with confidence. TFRP connects functional intent, requirements, software, hardware, tests, and results into a single, traceable story so engineering teams can see exactly what changed, what was validated, and how stable a function is at any point in its lifecycle. Organizations such as Mechatronics uses TFRP to plan and time their work, understand issues quickly, and help triage and drive fixes overnight. Our mission is to turn complex test and configuration data into clear, actionable insight that accelerates feature delivery and drives data-driven decisions across the vehicle ecosystem.
We are looking for a TFRP Data Engineer – Software Developer to build the backbone of this visibility: a traceable gold-source data lake and visualization layer . In this role, you will ensure that all data describing software–hardware connections, configurations, tests, and outcomes is centralized, modeled, and exposed through intuitive dashboards and applications . Your work will create the single source of truth that powers end-to-end traceability, enables engineers to quickly understand impact and coverage, and gives leaders a real-time view of functional readiness and stability across programs.
What You'll Do:
Full Stack application UI & backend services & integrations
-
Develop and maintain backend APIs/services in Python (e.g., Flask/FastAPI) that provide structured access to processed test data and failure summaries.
-
Code and provide requirements for scalable UI & reporting initiatives utilizing React web application and both relational and graph database capabilities.
-
Integrate with upstream systems (test infrastructure, CI pipelines, file/object storage) and downstream consumers (internal web apps, reporting tools).
-
Implement robust error handling, logging, metrics, and tracing so incidents are visible and diagnosable without guesswork.
Support analytics & reporting
-
Partner with data analysts and engineering stakeholders to shape the semantic layer (tables, views, measures) that powers Power BI and other reporting tools.
-
Ensure nightly refreshes are predictable, well‑monitored, and clearly communicated to stakeholders.
-
Help simplify complex test/log data into intuitive, stable data models that engineers can easily query and build on.
Technical leadership & mentoring
-
Serve as the technical point of contact for the automated test analytics platform and its nightly processing — including incident response and root‑cause analysis.
-
Drive engineering standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and reviews across data and backend components.
