Job Description

The Role:

We are looking for a highly motivated individual contributor who has knowledge of vehicle sensing hardware and a desire to work as a Senior Design Release Engineer (DRE).  Broad technical knowledge combined with creative and independent thinking are needed to be successful in this role.  This DRE will develop requirements and methods for using sensing technologies in new ways to solve challenges with Occupant and Pedestrian Protection systems, Chassis Dynamic Position Sensing, Thermal Vision, and/or Environmental Sensing.  This DRE will implement new sensing strategies using acceleration, position and environmental sensors, radar, and camera technologies. This DRE performs complex assignments requiring a wider application of principles, theories, and concepts

What you'll do:

• Oversee design and validation for sensing system hardware, calibrations, and application software.

• Run Product Development Team (PDT) meetings to coordinate the development and integration of the sensing system hardware components into the vehicle. 

• Support DFMEA development and updates.

• Create and maintain Interface Control Document (ICD) strategy and ICD templates.

• Author Engineering Work Orders to release the components for prototype and production vehicles.

• Prepare timing plans that ensure all program requirements and MRD dates are met.

• Troubleshoot component and vehicle level issues utilizing the Problem Resolution Tracking System (PRTS-Jira)

• Generate and maintain Component Technical Specifications (CTS) for sensing component hardware.

• Close the Loop on learnings by updating required information (Best Practices, GM Specifications, Statement of Requirements, Template, etc.).

• Work cross-functionally within GM, coordinating multiple suppliers.

• Lead/manage supplier resident engineers.

• Support sourcing activities, including creation of Statement of Requirements (SOR), Request for Information (RFI) and Statement of Development Work (SODW).

• Generate technical solutions for new vehicle programs.

• Perform complex design analysis.

• Initiate documents to provide engineering authority and to maintain math/CAD data.

• Work with engineering functions, suppliers, plant personnel and others to implement cost reduction, methods, and product improvements, and to support build programs.
