Descrição

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.

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 Sub-System Lead Engineer (SSLE) in Emerging New Markets (ENM) is an IC responsible for leading the development, definition, and documentation of requirements for applicable sub-systems (or Solutions) in diverse domains such as Interface between autonomous driver and vehicle motion platform and Battery Management Systems in Non-Automotive Applications. A growth mindset and a high level of comfort with ambiguity are essential for this role.

The role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams, ensuring technical specifications are well-defined, behaviors are clearly documented, and compliance with requirements is maintained throughout the development lifecycle. As a technical domain expert and single point of contact, SSLE provides guidance on system design, troubleshooting, and optimization and owns the development and delivery of solutions, driving cross team and group efforts.
