The Role

Join the innovative and high‑impact Planar Motion Coordination team within Global Systems Engineering, Safety, and Validation as a Systems Integration Validation Engineer. Our team defines and delivers torque distribution (mechanical AWD/4WD, eAWD, eLSD, etc.), traction control, and vehicle dynamics state estimation systems and safety cases that shape how every GM vehicle performs on the road.

In this role, you will lead end-to-end integration and validation of these systems across vehicle programs and architecture variants. This includes system-level test case definition, safety/functional/performance/robustness testing via virtual/hardware-in-the-loop (HiL)/vehicle assets, issue identification & resolution, and system readiness assessments.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead system integration for specific program applications, ensuring system performance meets key program development milestones
  • Ensure final product meets requirements via direct testing or aggregation of decomposed tests
  • Conduct exploratory evaluations and robustness testing beyond requirements to ensure our product meets or exceeds customer expectations
  • Generate system development and validation plans that utilize behavioral modeling, Software-In-the Loop (SIL), Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and vehicle assets
  • Setup data acquisition and instrumentation to perform detailed analysis on their output
  • Define system-level tests for all integration, automated regression testing, and validation activities for assigned systems
  • Support system engineers and system safety engineers during requirement development through modeling, vehicle experiments, and competitive benchmarking.
  • Support cross functional teams with system expertise to ensure coordinated execution and a high-quality result

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or related field of study.
  • 2+ years of relevant engineering experience, ideally in automotive vehicle dynamics or propulsion
  • Possess a valid driver’s license and be comfortable performing advanced driving maneuvers such as high lateral acceleration turns or maneuvers on an icy surface.
  • Travel as required (~5%, occasional day trips and 1-2 weeks of off-site winter testing)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with vehicle dynamics, vehicle motion controls, driveline systems, chassis controls, calibration, or vehicle integration.
  • Experience with vehicle development, including instrumentation, data acquisition, fault insertion, and test execution
  • Experience with virtual development (MiL, SiL, HiL, DiL) and custom tool development via coding (C, Python, etc.)
  • Knowledge of distributed real-time control systems, embedded software development, automotive networks, diagnostics, Ethernet/CAN/LIN, DTCs, and logs.
  • Experience with GM requirements, validation, evidence-management, and issue-tracking tools; familiarity with safety, regulatory, or compliance evidence.
  • Experience conducting advanced maneuvers or already possess advanced driving certification
