Hybrid: Position does not require an employee to be on-site full-time but the general expectation is that the employee be onsite an average of three (3) days each week.
The Team:
The Low Voltage Infrastructure Team within the Embedded Platform Systems & Infrastructure organization is focused on the development of systems and controls centered around on-vehicle low voltage power generation, energy storage, power management, distribution, and consumption on ICE, EV and PHEV vehicle platforms. There is no better time to join this domain as we evolve to the next generation of low voltage power strategy, innovation, and capability in current product VIP and the next generation on SDV2.0.
The Role:
As a Senior Systems Engineer for Low Voltage Performance, your technical expertise in low voltage power consumption will be leveraged throughout the entire vehicle development life cycle, including requirements, design, testing, and problem resolution. You will drive GM’s industry leadership of optimized low voltage consumption by defining low voltage energy consumption use cases, setting consumption targets, analyzing and driving reductions in power consumption for complex devices and features, and assessing competitor low voltage consumption performance.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities):
- Define low voltage energy use cases, lead low voltage system performance requirements development and decomposition, and set energy consumption targets for components and features.
- Own the total power consumption performance of complex components, such as the Central Compute Unit and Aggregators, leading consumption reduction and optimization activities across organizations.
- Partner with VDDV teams to develop modeling capability needed to estimate and optimize low voltage power consumption in various vehicle use cases.
- Ensure traceability of system requirements and targets to hardware subsystem and ART solution requirements.
- Develop test requirements and ensure test case traceability to requirements and targets.
- Analyze and summarize status to energy consumption targets based on use cases.
- Analyze competitive performance with respect to power consumption reduction and optimization strategies. Drive action to the appropriate organizations to address gaps.
- Serve as subject matter expert for power consumption estimation and power reduction techniques; support component and feature owners as needed to analyze and meet targets.
- Lead complex trade-off decisions, buy-offs, and escalation of power consumption issues with vehicle and product teams
- Develop, maintain, and produce technical documentation and system specifications with tools such as DNG. Track changes and issues using Jira.
