Job Description
The Team:
The CoSim Infrastructure, Quality, and Scalability team, within GM’s Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, builds the foundational software, automation, and integration capabilities that make virtual ECUs and co-simulation environments reliable, reusable, and scalable across vehicle domains.
The team develops and evolves CoSim/SIL infrastructure—including SoftECU and FMI-based capabilities, RestBus and SIMETH connectivity, HWIO and calibration enablement, build and CI/CD pipelines, and automated quality gates—while improving package consistency, test coverage, observability, and defect triage.
Their work enables engineering, calibration, and verification teams to validate embedded-platform software earlier and with greater confidence, supporting daily regression testing as well as complex, multi-variant, multi-domain virtual validation. Within the broader Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, the team collaborates closely with domain teams to deliver high-fidelity virtual environments and advance GM’s software-defined vehicle development process.
The Role:
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will define the architecture for GM’snextgenerationvirtual development platform, including SIL orchestration,AIenhancedsimulation, data flows, andcloudnativecompute.
Youllbuild on your strengths in automation, embedded systems, and debugging while expanding into cloud orchestration,IaC, ML workflows, and distributed simulation systems.
WhatYoullDo (Responsibilities):
- Architect distributed simulation systems forvECUs, FMUs, and SIL/MILworkloads, ensuring scalable execution across heterogeneous environments.
- DefineAI enabledsimulation patterns including scenario generation,modelbasedinference, and data pipelines.
- Designcloud nativecompute platforms optimizedforlargescaleparallel, and elastically scalable simulation workloads.
- Establish API and service architecture for orchestration and data management.
- GuideCI/CD integration for simulation and AI components.
- Mentor developers and influence technical direction across teams.
- Ensure security, observability, and reliability across the platform.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 10+ years of relevant experience in software architecture, simulation, or distributed systems.
- Expertise inbackend and distributed systems.
- Experience with virtualization and simulation (vECUs, FMUs, SIL).
- Strong cloud architecture skills.
- Experience with CLI-based architectureand MCP-basedarchitecture for AI tools design.
- Experience withontology-based system design and architecture.
- AI/ML integration experience for simulation or data workflows.
- Knowledge of data engineering and storage patterns.
- Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience designing simulation platforms at enterprise scale.
- Knowledge of automotive domain modeling and ontology.
- Experience withevent drivenarchitectures for simulation workflows.
- Experience with Agentic AI architectureand multi-agent coordination.
- Advanced knowledge of ontology technologiesand ontology design patterns(Owl,RDF,SPARQL,Automated reasoning)
- Advanced ML workflow experience (feature stores, model serving, vector DBs).
