Infrastructure System Engineer Jobs in Troy, MI (NOW HIRING)

Job Description

The Team:

The Programming, EIO(Ethernet Input/Output)/HWIO (Hardware Input/Output) Systems Engineering team is responsible for making sure GM's software-programmable controllers and Ethernet I/O devices can be reliably programmed and interacted with throughout the vehicle lifecycle, from development to in-field updates.

We define and validate how controllers sense, actuate, and diagnose hardware I/O, own key system specifications and test content that ensure I/O performance and diagnostics behave correctly, and develop the common infrastructure (I/O mapping, controller hardware requirements, and validation procedures) that is reused across SDV programs. Working closely with diagnostics, architecture, safety, and software implementation teams, we provide the technical foundation that enables safe, robust over-the-air and on-vehicle software updates and consistent I/O behavior across GM's global vehicle portfolio.

The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sr. SQA Engineer to join our team, focusing on the next generation of vehicle software validation and automation. The successful candidate will lead, develop, and execute test automation strategies, drive department-wide improvements, and collaborate across business sectors to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability in our systems. This role requires technical leadership, strategic planning, and hands-on execution to deliver validation excellence and support program milestones. This role supports a hybrid work arrangement, requiring onsite presence at least three days per week.

The successful candidate will leverage CI/CD methodologies with GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines, utilize AI-enabled test automation tools, and perform advanced validation infrastructure tasks such as running HIL benches, flashing controllers, analyzing PCAP traffic, and executing pipelines to dissect test results.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

• Lead cross functional workgroups to understand test requirements and develop comprehensive test plans.
• Develop and maintain test scripts using Python for Controller Hardware & Programming, leverage the latest library/helper/wrapper functions, and align with department strategy.
• Execute test scripts and analyze test results to identify defects, performance issues, and areas for improvement.
• Manage the team backlog and define priority for implementation.
• Collaborate with cross functional workgroups to ensure test environment is properly set up.
• Work closely with software developers and system engineers to ensure test coverage and validate system functionality.
• Participate in test automation framework development and enhancement activities.
• Ability to anticipate problems and escalate issues timely.
• Ability to independently investigate issues based on limited information, demonstrating high analytical ability to resolve complex problems.
• Collaborate with the team to continuously improve test processes, methodologies, and tools.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and best practices in test automation and contribute to the adoption of new technologies and techniques.
• Travel as required to support fulfillment of objectives.
• Develop and maintain test scripts that match test cases, leverage the latest library/helper/wrapper functions, and align with department strategy.
• Co-create and validate helper/wrapper functions, sharing best practices across the department.
• Execute and support validation activities on HIL benches, including setup, configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Flash controllers and validate software deployments across development and test environments.
• Perform PCAP analysis and network traffic investigations to support software validation and root cause analysis.
• Execute and monitor CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
• Perform hands-on test execution, analyze results, and provide detailed failure analysis and test result dissection.
• Develop and utilize AI-powered tools and automation solutions to improve testing efficiency and quality metrics.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong experience in developing and executing test scripts using Python.
• Familiarity with automotive protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and diagnostic protocols (e.g., UDS).
