Job Description

The Role:

We are seeking aSenior SoftwareArchitectto bothdefine infrastructure software requirementsanddevelop the automated tests that prove those requirements. In this role you will translate ECUlevel requirements into smaller, deployable chunks (Solutions and PODlevel requirements), and ensure each of those pieces can be independently implemented, integrated, and verified.

You will act as atechnical lead and subjectmatter expertacross this flow 60 working with ECUlevel requirements owners, Mechatronics Infrastructure system engineers, and software implementers who write code within the POD construct 60 so that requirements are clear, testable, and backed by robust automation. You will coach other engineers, shape test andrequirementsarchitecture, and ensure our infrastructure solutions meet safety, quality, and performance expectations for GMs global vehicle portfolio.

What Youll do:

Technical Leadership & Requirements Authoring

• Own the technical directionand serve as the primary technical contactinone or more infrastructure Solutions (e.g., Communications, Controller Safety, Cybersecurity, Data Management, Diagnostics, Programming,Moding) from concept through deployment and sustainment, providing guidance on requirement scope, breakdown, and prioritization to peers and leadership.
• Lead crossfunctional workgroups (ECUlevel requirements owners, Mechatronics Infrastructure system engineers, SW implementation teams, bench/HILand vehicle test) to gather, rationalize, and negotiate requirements into clear, testableinfrastructure requirementsthat define interfacesinvolving PODs,Solutions, application, middleware, software generation tooling, and the BSW in general.

Test Automation Design & Implementation

• Write highqualitytest scenarios in Gherkin format(Given/When/Then) that capture expected behavior, negative paths, andnonfunctionalrequirements for Solutionsand PODs.
• Implement andmaintainautomation code that binds Gherkin scenarios to reusableC++step definitions and analyze results toidentifydefects, performance issues, and systemic gaps in requirements or implementation to ensure fast, reliable feedback for infrastructure software changes.
• Work with system and software engineers totriage, rootcause, and closeissues discovered by automated tests; feed learnings back into requirements, test cases, and coding guidelines, and drive improvements inbuiltin qualityby influencing design for testability and edgecase coverage.

Collaboration, Standards & Continuous Improvement

• Manage and refine theteam backlogfor requirements and test automation work within your area, working closely with other team members to balance feature, enabler, and quality items.
• Coach and mentor other engineers in requirements authoring, Python test development, infrastructure concepts (AUTOSAR, SOME/IP, Ethernet, diagnostics), and good testing practices; help onboard new team members and rotations.
• Maintain and grow deep knowledge of relevant standards and technologies, includingAUTOSAR, UDS,J1979, J1979-2, J1979-3,DoIP, and serviceoriented communication (e.g., SOME/IP, DDS, REST).
• Help define and refineguidelinesfor infrastructure requirements, Gherkin scenarios, test case authoring, and traceability from ECUlevel requirements to Solution/POD requirements and automated tests/results.
• Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and methods in requirements management, test automation, and data analysis; pilot promising approaches and scale those that demonstrably improve coverage, stability, or developer productivity.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degreein Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent experience.

• 5+ yearsof relevant software experience, including test automation for embedded or distributed systems.
• StrongproficiencyinC++for test automation or tooling (frameworks, fixtures, data parsing, reporting).
• Working knowledge ofAUTOSAR Classicconcepts and configuration, or equivalent embedded platform experience.
• Practical experience withautomotive communication protocolssuch as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet, and familiarity with diagnostic protocols likeUDSandDoIP.
• Solid understanding of thesoftware development lifecycle, testing methodologies, and CI/CD practices.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex issues, decompose them into testable scenarios, and drive issues to closure across a multistakeholder environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain infrastructure behavior, constraints, and test results to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Comfortable workingindependently with a high degree of initiative, while also collaborating effectively within crossfunctional teams.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills)

• Masters degreein Software,Computer, orElectrical Engineering, or related field.
• 7 610 years of experience inembedded, infrastructure, or automotive software, ideally including SDV or similar largescale architectures.
• Experience designing or extendingtest automation frameworks, including integration with CI/CD, metrics, and dashboards.
• Handson experience with serial data,serviceoriented communication(e.g., SOME/IP, DDS, REST), Diagnostics and controlling mechatronic controller hardware.
• Familiarity withHIL systems, bench automation, and vehicle test workflows.
• Prior experiencecoaching engineers, leading small technical initiatives, or acting as a feature lead in an Agile environment.
• Experience using AI and other LLM models to reduce design times and streamline process flows.
