This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a new Brake by Wire project while advancing GM's in-house brake controls and diagnostics software capability and supporting the transition toward next-generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture, including brake controls feature migration into future Vehicle Motion Coordination and Control (VMCC)-aligned architectures.
Brake Controls is playing a key role in GM's transition to software-defined vehicles through architecture readiness, feature migration into future control frameworks, and a strategic shift toward in-house software capability. In this role, you will contribute to the development of safety-critical brake control software for core vehicle features and platform capabilities while directly influencing the software foundation for next-generation braking systems. You will work in a highly collaborative environment with systems, controls, calibration, integration, and validation teams to deliver robust, scalable, and reusable software solutions that are central to vehicle safety, performance, and customer experience.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for brake controls and diagnostics applications supporting GM vehicle programs and future SDV platforms.
• Contribute to software architecture and implementation strategies that enable scalable, reusable, and maintainable brake controls software across vehicle applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align brake controls software with evolving systems decomposition, VMCC architecture direction, and SDV milestone commitments.
• Coordinate and collaborate with team members internally and externally to ensure feature deliverables remain on track and are achieved as planned.
• Participate in software integration, issue resolution, and validation activities to ensure high-quality launch execution and reliable customer-facing performance.
• Utilize BDD principles and CI/CD pipelines to deploy software assets while adhering to GM software quality requirements at each evaluation step.
• Drive disciplined software development practices for safety-critical applications, including clear requirements traceability, robust design, and quality-focused implementation.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
