Job Description

The Role:

We are seeking an experienced, visionary leader to head the Electrical Integration Engineering Organization. In this role, you will own the global strategy for numerical optimization tools that define innovative and optimized physical integration of electronics across GM’s global vehicle portfolio.

This leader thinks beyond traditional physical part packaging, using modeling, optimization, and data to redefine how electrical and electronics systems are physically realized - bridging advanced analytical methods with real-world vehicle execution to translate complex trade-offs into clear, data-driven decisions that improve cost, performance, and development velocity at scale. This role directly shapes platform-level architecture decisions, compounding value across programs and scaling across the portfolio, improving both engineering efficiency and product competitiveness.

You will lead Physical Integration Engineers to execute the following Technologies:

• Active Safety
• Interior Lighting
• Audio
• Low Voltage Power
• Chassis
• Occupant Sensing & Comfort
• Compute
• Passive Safety
• Connectivity
• Propulsion
• Displays
• Vehicle Access & Security
• Unifying integration strategies across these areas, ensuring packaging, harness optimization, electrical integrity, manufacturability, and cross-functional execution are addressed consistently and early in vehicle development.
• Driving architecture and program development by laying out the electrical system alongside critical architectural systems such as body structure, propulsion, occupant package, and studio theme.
• Driving the development tools, processes, and methods tooptimizepackaging for a given set of modules.
• Informing the design of future electrical architectures.

Mission: Use computer-driven optimization of physical product layout/design under real constraints like space, geometry, wiring rules, assembly efficiency, and serviceability. Optimize total enterprise cost across architectures and programs.

This position reports to the Director of Electrical Engineering Integration, the organization responsible for the physical integration strategy of electronics across GM vehicles.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

As the leader of the Electrical Integration Engineering Organization, you will drive one of the most cross-functional and high-impact areas of vehicle development at GM.

• Lead cross-functional collaboration with packaging teams across all vehicle domains to ensure electronics integration is considered early and holistically in the design process.
• Shape advanced vehicle development by improving electronics packaging strategies that reduce wiring harness cost, complexity, and downstream tradeoff inefficiencies.
• Develop expertise and standards in critical areas such as post-crash electrical integrity, network design, electrical redundancy, manufacturing assembly processes, module flashing, and sequencing for efficient installation.
• Influence other parts of the organization to ensure electrical integration requirements are included in trade-off studies and design decisions from the beginning.
• Build advanced toolchains, methods, and processes that enable rapid optimization of design, packaging, and integration at the speed required for iterative development.
• Drive operational excellence by balancing cost, mass, assembly effort, manufacturing sequencing, and quality to achieve world-class integration and efficiency.
• Set the vision for the organization to drive speed and innovation in electrical packaging and physical integration, enabling GM to deliver industry leading vehicles that are smarter, safer, and more cost-efficient.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelors degree (or higher) in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or other relevant discipline.
• 8+ years of engineering experience in a technical environment with strong analytical capabilities.
• Proven leadership experience in vehicle execution and total vehicle physical packaging, including experience using computer aided drafting software.
• Experience leading tool development.
• Experience with post-crash electrical integrity requirements, assembly sequencing optimization, module flashing, and network design and balancing.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to pull together total enterprise solutions and recommendations for programs.

Personal Attributes/Leadership:

• A leader who turns advanced electrical architecture analysis into scalable, real-world vehicle decisions that raise performance, cut cost, and accelerate development.
• Makes people and things around them better, regardless of direct or indirect responsibility, and leaves behind sustainable improvements that endure over time.
• Empowers themself and their team members, seeks accountability, handles tough situations well, steps up in uncertainty, and makes timely and reversible decisions based on incomplete information.
• Operates strategically and proactively, preventing problems before they become problems.
• Develops core principles, stands by them under pressure, and clearly articulates the why behind decisions.
• Is highly collaborative, listens well, adapts quickly to different situations and audiences, and seeks diverse points of view while maintaining a strong presence.
• Stays curious, embraces appropriate risk-taking, pushes boundaries, and challenges traditional thinking and long-held assumptions.
• Cultivates a culture of continuous improvement and growth, fostering an environment where individuals and teams thrive, and sustained excellence continues after they move on.
• Is an exceptional communicator across leadership, peers, and reports, capable of quickly understanding complex issues, breaking them down, and explaining them clearly to non-experts, including senior executives.
• Runs their organization like a small business, spending company resources thoughtfully, mitigating risk through iterative development and minimum viable solutions, and balancing market awareness with customer focus.
• Is the go-to leader for challenging assignments, works independently while knowing when to align, builds and leverages strong relationships, and consistently gets critical work across the finish line.
• Inspires current and future leaders by example and helps develop these same skills and behaviors in others.

Company Vehicle: Upon successful completion of a motor vehicle report review, you will be eligible to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program, through which you will be assigned a General Motors vehicle to drive and evaluate.

Note: program participants are required to purchase/lease a qualifying GM vehicle every four years unless one of a limited number of exceptions applies.
