The Role
General Motors is undergoing a major transformation, both in how we operate and in how we will influence the future of transportation in the EV realm. Our Software Services team is on the forefront of this work, emboldening our culture by seeking out determined, innovative individuals who will join our team to help move us forward and achieve our mission.
We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the role of Battery HIL Engineer. The HIL Engineer role is responsible for creating hardware in the loop environments to enable development, verification and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations for battery, electrification, engine, and powertrain. This position designs and maintains models using dSpace Simulink and Simscape tools.
Simulation allows GM to move the integration and validation tasks earlier in the development cycle. It enables us to release new product and features quicker and to improve our competitiveness in the market. You will be a GM Entrepreneur that is responsible to deliver finished products on time, meet goals, tailor our processes to be more efficient. You will utilize Lean Manufacturing principles and DFSS knowledge to improve exponentially in what you accomplish and raise the quality in what you contribute to GM.
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report onsite at the Milford Proving Ground - Bldg 16C at least four times per week minimum or other frequency dictated by the business. This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.
Responsibilities include:
- Work closely with software development, calibration, and validation stakeholders to identify solutions to customer needs.
- Create and maintain simulation models (such as Plant, sensors and actuators, serial data communication and controller models) for creating test environments.
- Understand and apply DFSS tools and methodologies. Incorporate Lean Manufacturing and thinking into daily process as a HIL Engineer.
- Close partnership with test environment users to root cause and address unexpected test results and resolve issues encountered during test execution.
- Plan, communicate, and coordinate test environment strategy and model/hardware rollout to support applications and features requested by user community as needed.
- Support HIL bench and automated tools
- Work closely with sources of models and equipment to make sure that common models and other simulation assets are shared between test environment domains and architectures.
