Job Description
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We're turning today's impossible into tomorrow's standard -from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role
The Vehicle Fleet Integration Engineer is a key member of the Vehicle Fleet Experience and Integration Transformation team, focused on delivering high-impact work that strengthens GM's vehicle integration ecosystem, fleet readiness, and software-enabled vehicle experiences.
This role leads cross-functional special projects that improve how engineering fleets, exposure programs, and integration spaces operate-accelerating learning cycles, improving quality, and enabling a best-in-class developer experience. The Vehicle Fleet Integration Engineer will own scoped initiatives from concept through execution, with direct visibility to senior leadership and a clear connection to GM's goals of accelerating technical excellence, improving launch readiness, and delivering compelling customer experiences at speed.
What You'll Do
Fleet Exposure Governance & Demonstration Coordination
  • Design and execute initiatives that enhance developer and driver experience across internal exposure, external beta, and Fielded Product Fleet (FPF) programs.
  • Lead development and ongoing refinement of fleet exposure plans, ensuring clear objectives, target personas, timing, and success criteria across development, CTF, FPF, PEP, and customer beta where applicable.
  • Support execution of exposure plans in partnership with fleet, integration, quality, CVO, product, and vehicle program teams, ensuring vehicles, software, drivers, and instrumentation are aligned to plan.
  • Lead coordination of demonstrations and drive events that showcase new software, services, and capabilities for internal stakeholders and leadership, ensuring readiness of vehicles, spaces, and supporting materials.
  • Translate customer, driver, and program team feedback into requirements, roadmaps, and experiments to improve fleet workflows, tooling, and communications.

Vehicle Integration & Launch Readiness
  • Support engineering projects that improve software integration spaces - covering layout, infrastructure requirements, tooling, and operational processes.
  • Define and pilot integration workflows that improve cycle time from build to flash to drive, including handoffs between integration labs, triage, fleet teams, and drivers.
  • Support readiness deliverables through key development and launch milestones, including planning, coordination, issue follow-up, and cross-functional execution.
  • Support development and documentation of repeatable playbooks, standard work, and templates that can be scaled across locations.

Tooling, Data, and Analytics
  • Specify and validate tools, dashboards, and data flows that improve fleet visibility and decision-making across vehicle readiness, utilization, health, status, exposure coverage, and spend.
  • Work with data and IT partners to integrate vehicle, software, and usage data (e.g., GVBE, fleet tools, triage systems) into practical views for program teams and leadership.
  • Use analytics to identify bottlenecks, quantify benefits, and recommend next-step investments in fleets, integration processes, and readiness execution.

Program & Stakeholder Management
  • Own end-to-end delivery for assigned initiatives, including scope definition, requirements, timing plans, risk tracking, and metric definition.
  • Build alignment across product, program, engineering, quality, fleet, and operations stakeholders to support timely decisions and coordinated execution.
  • Create clear, concise executive-ready summaries of project status, risks, readiness concerns, and recommendations using visuals and metrics.
  • Champion change management for new processes and tools, ensuring stakeholders are trained, engaged, and supported through rollout

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in vehicle integration, vehicle development, software development, lab/facility, or fleet-related engineering roles.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of the following:
    • Vehicle integration, vehicle systems engineering, or development vehicle readiness, or
    • Engineering vehicle fleets (ordering, deployment, utilization, or maintenance), or
    • Software integration / validation / release workflows, or
    • Lab, garage, or facility transformation / operations.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional projects from concept through implementation, with measurable impact on quality, efficiency, or customer experience.
  • Experience supporting vehicle program launches, including readiness planning, issue resolution, milestone coordination, and cross-functional execution.
  • Strong systems thinking skills, with the ability to connect vehicle integration, software development, fleet management, and facilities domains into coherent solutions.
  • Proven ability to analyze data, build simple models or dashboards, and use insights to drive decisions and influence stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including preparing clear status reports, leadership presentations, and concise decision-ready updates.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through execution and closure, with limited direction.
  • Proven ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority and build alignment across teams with differing priorities.
  • Demonstrated enterprise ownership, with proactive follow-through, risk identification, and accountability for next steps and closure.
  • Ability to work effectively in a hybrid environment with frequent on-site presence at Milford Proving Ground.
  • Ability to legally operate a motor vehicle on a regular basis and successfully complete a Motor Vehicle Report review.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
