About the Team
Compute & Connectivity Hardware (CCH) is part of GM’s Vehicle Software & Electronics Engineering (VSEE) organization within Software & Services Engineering. The team develops the physical hardware foundation for GM’s software-defined vehicles, including compute, connectivity, networking, displays, and other electronic platforms that enable in-vehicle software, infotainment, ADAS, vehicle controls, and connected experiences.
CCH’s work spans architecture, requirements, hardware and electronics design, embedded hardware, systems integration, validation, launch, and in-market performance. Our engineers collaborate across software, systems, controls, cybersecurity, functional safety, vehicle engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing to develop reliable, production-ready hardware for GM’s vehicle portfolio.
Connectivity plays a pivotal role in using and advancing technology to offer unparalleled customer experience and develop revenue generating streams while acting as a cornerstone to offer safety critical, hands-free driving solutions in line with General Motor’s strong safety culture.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Hardware Engineer to join our team, focused on developing best-in-class automotive connectivity systems. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience developing and executing comprehensive component-level and system-level validation plans, including functional, electrical, environmental, EMC, and certification testing for complex embedded systems involving high-performance computing and wireless interfaces.
The Role:
The Senior Hardware Engineer will be responsible for developing and implementing detailed validation plans to verify schematic design, PCB layout, functional performance, electrical characteristics, environmental robustness, EMC compliance, and regulatory certification readiness of connectivity hardware platforms. Responsibilities include component-level, subsystem-level, and vehicle-level validation of hardware components and systems supporting Connectivity technologies across all GM vehicles and architectures.
This role works closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware design, mechanical design, PCB layout, RF/Wireless, systems, software, manufacturing, and external test laboratories to ensure products meet functional, reliability, environmental, electromagnetic compatibility, and regulatory requirements. The engineer will support root-cause investigations, design improvements, certification activities, and issue resolution throughout development and production.
What You’ll do:
- Expert use of lab instruments including Oscilloscopes, VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, Logic Analyzers, EMI Receivers, Power Analyzers, and Environmental Test Equipment.
- Validate signal and power integrity for LPDDR5, PCIe, USB3.x/2.0, SPI, I2C, CAN, LIN, and automotive Ethernet interfaces.
- Develop, execute, and maintain comprehensive hardware validation plans covering component, subsystem, and system-level functionality.
- Validate power delivery networks, power sequencing, power rail stability, sleep/wake cycles, and fault-recovery mechanisms.
- Plan and execute environmental and reliability testing including temperature, humidity, thermal cycling, thermal shock, vibration, and mechanical stress testing.
- Develop and execute EMC/EMI validation plans, including pre-compliance and compliance testing for radiated emissions, conducted emissions, radiated immunity, conducted immunity, and ESD robustness.
- Partner with internal teams and external test laboratories to support regulatory and certification activities for global markets and wireless technologies.
- Verify compliance with applicable automotive, carrier, wireless, and regulatory standards and ensure hardware readiness for certification testing.
- Collaborate with silicon vendors (e.g., NXP, TI, Qualcomm) to align on SoC bring-up, interface characterization, and platform validation.
- Collaborate with software/firmware, RF/wireless, systems, and hardware design teams to support functional bring-up, root-cause analysis, and issue resolution.
- Analyze and interpret validation data, identify failure mechanisms, and drive corrective actions and design improvements.
- Create validation reports, certification readiness assessments, test metrics, and executive summaries of test results.
- Support vehicle integration testing, manufacturing validation, and production issue investigations as required.
Required Skills and Experience:
- Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 6+ years of hands-on validation experience with focus on embedded and connectivity systems, preferably in automotive or consumer electronics.
- Experience developing and executing electrical, functional, reliability, environmental, and EMC validation test plans.
- Experience supporting regulatory and certification testing for wireless and automotive electronic products.
- Strong understanding of automotive EMC/EMI requirements, ESD validation, and environmental qualification methodologies.
- Experience in validating high-performance computer systems, high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet).
- Familiarity with power management ICs, Voltage regulators, low-power design principles, and deep sleep/wake-up flows.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with ability to work through complex HW and system issues.
- Strong technical communication skills and experience working across cross-functional engineering teams and external test laboratories.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
- Master’s degree in related engineering field.
- Knowledge and experience in wireless interfaces and technology.
- Experience with automotive EMC standards and regulatory certification processes.
- Knowledge of wireless technologies including Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, GNSS, UWB, and Digital Key systems.
- Experience working with certification agencies, carrier certifications, regulatory test labs, or compliance organizations.
- Knowledge of automotive qualification and reliability standards (e.g., environmental, EMC, and product validation standards).
- Experience validating telematics, connectivity, gateway, or wireless communication modules.
