Software EngineerSoftware Engineering

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI three times (Tues., Wed., Thurs.) a week, at minimum.

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation, both in how we operate and in how we will influence the future of transportation. As we move towards our ZERO crashes, ZERO emissions, ZERO congestion vision, we are investing heavily in virtual test environments and software-defined vehicle (SDV) capabilities.

We are seeking an early-career Software Developer to join the Virtualization and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Integration team within the Software Defined Vehicle – Embedded Platforms organization.

In this role, you will help design, build, and deploy Virtual Test Environments (CoSimulation Environments) at system and vehicle level to support development, verification, and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations across domains such as:

Propulsion thermal management
Battery management
Chassis and brake controls
Body electronics and controls (vehicle access, occupant comfort and protection, lighting, visibility, vehicle state)

This is a hands-on role ideal for students or recent graduates with strong software fundamentals, internship/project experience, and an interest in simulation, modeling, and automotive embedded systems. You will work closely with experienced engineers who will provide mentorship and technical guidance as you grow.

As an early-career Software Developer – Virtualization and SIL Integration, you will:

→
Contribute to the development and integration of co-simulation components to satisfy end-user test requirements.
→
Help create and maintain virtual controller models to be used across different simulations.
→
Implement and test virtual controller components such as HWIO, RTOS, and communication models.
→
Assist in obtaining, developing, and parameterizing sub-system models (sensors, actuators, ECU behavioral models).
→
Collaborate with development engineers to understand new feature requirements, address issues, and ensure proper implementation in the virtual environment.
→
Work with System Engineers to help define SIMBOMs (required co-simulation assets) based on test requirements.
→
Support the integration of plant models and ECU models into dynamic virtual simulations.
→
Contribute to documentation for each release, including model interfaces, assumptions, and usage guidelines.
→
Provide first-line support for released simulations (basic troubleshooting, issue triage, and user guidance).
→
Participate in continuous improvement of tools, scripts, and workflows, including opportunities to leverage Python, SQL, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud technologies.

You will be part of an agile, cross-functional team that includes global partners and internal customers developing the next generation of virtual test capabilities.
