The Role:
We are seeking an exceptional individual to join our Chassis Controls organization as a Chassis Feature Strategist at GM’s Milford Proving Ground. Our team delivers world-class vehicle dynamics performance to our customers through innovative chassis control features on the vehicles that will define the next generation of GM’s future.
A Chassis Feature Strategist is responsible for calibration activity planning and software content planning for a family of chassis control features(ABS, TCS, ESC, VAF). This role works across multiple projects within a domain to create the strategy, plans, and guardrails that enable high-quality, on-time delivery of software and calibration content. The Feature Strategist connects feature-level technical direction with program execution, making sure the right work is planned, resourced, and sequenced for successful launches.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in chassis controls and vehicle dynamics, a clear understanding of calibration and software development lifecycles, and demonstrated ability to think strategically across programs. They will bring excellent planning, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to give clear direction on read-across impacts for problem resolution activities.
We believe work-life balance is essential to a team member’s success and job satisfaction. This position allows some work flexibility to ensure our diverse team has good work-life integration.

- Provide read-across impact direction for PRTSs, ensuring that:
- Root causes and solutions are understood at the feature level
- Impacted programs, variants, and markets are clearly identified
- Implementation strategy and timing are defined across the programs
- Partner with Calibration Tech Spec, Program Leads, Product Quality Engineers, SW DREs, and SW ARTs to integrate PRTS solutions into SW and calibration plans
- Support calibration reviews by defining feature performance expectations, content readiness, and risk areas
- Maintain a clear view of feature maturity and risk across all programs; drive closure plans where gaps exist
- Communicate status, risks, and trade-offs for assigned features to Chassis Program Leads, Product Quality Engineers, and leadership
- Adhere to all safety, quality, and regulatory requirements in planning and decision-making
