Staff Systems Engineering – Chassis Systems

The Staff System Engineering – Chassis Systems provides technical leadership for chassis motion control (braking, steering, suspension, vehicle dynamics) and acts as a domain‑agnostic architect for GM’s virtual integration stack. You will define and evolve end‑to‑end architectures across embedded ECUs and SIL/CoSim environments, creating reusable patterns, integrating services and models, and ensuring high‑quality execution across programs and domains.

• →

  Lead end‑to‑end architecture for chassis motion control systems across embedded and virtual platforms, including interfaces and ownership boundaries between domain ECUs, infra vECUs, and plant models.

• →

  Define reusable, domain‑agnostic SIL/CoSim architecture patterns and infrastructure services, orchestrating plant models, behavioral ECUs, infra vECUs, activation flows, diagnostics, and supplier assets into cohesive, testable systems.

• →

  Own SnA and system‑physics plant‑model infrastructure for L3 CoSim; integrate models into CI/CD (packaging, versioning, automated checks) and drive standardization for reuse across domains.

• →

  Own service/profile activation infrastructure and infra vECUs for SDV services across domains; ensure NPCR and activation flows work reliably in CoSim/SOLE and are supported by tools and pipelines for current and future programs.

• →

  Own integration of supplier assets (FMUs, vECUs, C11 libraries, AUTOSAR components) into CoSim and controllers; define requirements/checklists, align interfaces with RestBus/ICDe/GMBSW, and establish minimal acceptance tests and CI/CD integration patterns.

• →

  Improve CoSim, SIL/HIL, and embedded development processes (requirements, traceability, quality gates) and lead adoption of architectural patterns, modeling guidelines, and release processes for virtual assets.

• →

  Provide technical leadership and mentorship; drive cross‑functional roadmaps and alignment with CoSim Architecture, Package/Variant, Pipeline & Execution, Diagnostics/NVM, calibration, DREs, suppliers, and program teams.

• →

  Support program execution for chassis systems in CoSim/SIL/HIL and in‑vehicle; apply advanced control, optimization, and modeling methods and contribute to IP through novel architectures and solutions.

• 10+ years in control systems/software development and/or technical leadership, with strong emphasis on chassis and vehicle dynamics controls.

• In‑depth knowledge of chassis control and vehicle dynamics (braking, steering, suspension, stability) and calibration to meet objective and subjective performance targets.

• Strong control systems background applied to embedded systems (e.g., state feedback, adaptive, model predictive control).

• Production‑grade embedded software experience using C/C++ and model‑based development (MATLAB/Simulink, code generation) to GM standards.

• Solid understanding of AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive), ECU layering, and GMBSW integration patterns.

• Strong experience with CoSim/SIL/HIL and vECU design/integration (e.g., dSPACE VEOS, ETAS vECU‑Builder), plus plant modeling (Simulink/Modelica or equivalent) and CI/CD practices.

• Strong understanding of SDV service activation concepts, NPCR, and infra vECU responsibilities in CoSim/SOLE.

• Hands‑on experience with FMUs/FMI and supplier asset integration, including C11/C++ libraries, Ethernet/osa integration, and VeSCoM/SDV cadence and program gates.

• Experience with vehicle dynamics modeling/simulation tools (e.g., CarSim) and vehicle communication/measurement tools (e.g., Vehicle SPY, INCA, CANalyzer).

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills; proactive, results‑driven, able to work independently and in global, cross‑functional teams, with excellent written and verbal communication.

• Ability to travel as needed to test sites and partner locations (e.g., Michigan and other global sites).

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Control Systems, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience with advanced statistics, signal processing, optimization, system identification, and state estimation for vehicle/chassis systems.

• Experience with automotive product release/specification processes and integrating virtual assets (FMUs, vECUs) with program gates.

• Demonstrated leadership in defining virtual integration strategies (plant models, activation, vECUs, supplier assets), architectural guidelines, and playbooks across domains and teams; strong presentation and influence skills at staff/architect level.
