GM Defense delivers integrated vehicles, power and propulsion, autonomous systems, and connectivity solutions to defense, security, and government customers worldwide. We combine GM’s engineering and manufacturing strength with the mission focus and speed required by defense programs.


The Role

The Vehicle Electrical Architect is a senior engineering role responsible for defining vehicle-level power and signal distribution architectures. This includes establishing requirements, partitioning electrical functions, developing concepts, and ensuring designs meet performance, customer, reliability, packaging, cost, manufacturability, and timing objectives.

Working across GM Defense, GM, and with partners in propulsion, interiors, exteriors, chassis, body/armor, software, and vehicle systems, the architect resolves complex technical issues, exercises independent judgment, and influences decisions across organizational boundaries.


What You’ll Do

  • Define vehicle electrical requirements, functional partitions, and subsystem allocations.
  • Develop energy-management strategies across power generation, storage, distribution, and loads.
  • Design power and ground distribution, including battery electrical centers, pre-fuse strategies, and related components.
  • Select wire gauges and circuit protection using engineering requirements, standards, and analysis.
  • Create and review mechanizations, schematics, harness netlists, and other program deliverables.
  • Use engineering analysis and CAE tools to identify deficiencies and drive corrective action.
  • Lead or support FMEAs, design and technical reviews, and issue resolution.
  • Provide technical requirements and input for sourcing and supplier reviews.
  • Resolve interfaces, dependencies, and design conflicts with Design Release Engineers and cross-functional teams.
  • Ensure architecture deliverables are complete, technically sound, and aligned with program milestones.
  • Communicate technical risks, trade-offs, decisions, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Mentor engineers and improve electrical architecture methods, tools, standards, and documentation.

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical systems, vehicle electrical engineering, design release, controls, harnesses, power distribution, embedded systems, or a related field.
  • Professional experience in automotive electrical engineering, vehicle electrical systems, power or signal distribution, or a related field.
  • Experience releasing electrical components, distribution designs, schematics, harnesses, or related engineering content.
  • Proven ability to independently analyze and resolve complex technical problems and drive issues to closure.
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional Product Development teams, engineering suppliers and leading vehicle-level electrical architecture decisions.
  • Knowledge of vehicle power and signal distribution, battery electrical centers, pre-fuse systems, circuit protection, wire sizing, and energy management.
  • Experience with Capital Logic or similar electrical design, schematic, or harness engineering tools.
  • Experience leading technical reviews, supplier discussions, FMEAs, and issue-resolution teams.
  • Working knowledge of engineering software, architecture standards, design guidelines, net lists, release processes, and change management.
  • Strong written, verbal, presentation, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work periodically at the Milford Proving Grounds, travel as required and legally operate a motor vehicle.
  • Candidate must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).
