Work Arrangement: Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham or Oshawa office three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

At General Motors, we envision a future with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. We are building the next generation of vehicle compute platforms and redefining how automotive software is developed, deployed, andmonitored.

TheVehicle Observabilityteam enables safe, reliable, and observable software across vehicles, edge, and cloud. We areseekinga highly motivated and detailorientedSenior Dev / QA Engineer - Vehicle Observability Platformto join our team.

You will lead the initiative toautomate testing of our vehicle observability platformendtoend. You will define and execute test strategies thatvalidatethe functionality, performance, and robustness of observability and controlplane solutions across multiple controllers and backend services. You will work directly with embedded and distributed systems, build scalable automated tests, and partner with development teams to deliver highquality, wellinstrumented releases.

WhatYou'llDo (Responsibilities)

• Test Planning & Strategy:Own test strategies for thevehicle observability softwareand related data/controlplane software, with coverage from unit to invehicle testing, derived from Confluence/Jira requirements.

• Requirements Coverage & Compliance:Ensure tests coverfunctional, platform, performance, nonfunctional, observabilityofobservability, datagovernance, and testdrivenrequirement categories.

• Test Design & Execution:Design and execute automated and targeted manual tests for observability software APIs (C++, Java, C) across multiple ECUs and host environments, including multithreaded and multiinstance scenarios.

• Automation & Tooling:Build andmaintainautomated suites and harnesses around the observability software (e.g., sample host services, supervisor test apps) using an inhouse automation framework,gtest/JUnit, Robot Framework, Python, CI systems, and XRay.

• Bench & Vehicle Testing:UseHIL/SIL environmentsand invehicle setups to run functional, performance, and exposure tests, analyzing logs and telemetry to confirm requirement compliance and find defects.

• Data Analysis & Reporting:Use metrics, logs, traces, and CPU/memory profiling to define quality/performance KPIs,validateperformance requirements (e.g., peroperation latency, async export), and summarize findings for stakeholders.

• Defect Management & Quality Advocacy:Log, triage, and drive defects to resolution; champion quality, resiliency, and testability in design and code reviews.

• Documentation & Traceability:Maintainconcise test plans, procedures, and reports, and keep clear requirementtotest traceability.

• CrossFunctional Collaboration:Partner with development, platform/infrastructure, architecture, product, and release teams to align requirements, resolve integration issues, and ship on time.

• Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing:Coach other engineers on test design, automation, and observability best practices; contribute to shared patterns and guidelines.

• Process & Practice Improvement:Refine test processes, CI integration, testselection, and flakiness reduction to shorten feedback loops and increase confidence in releases.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree inEngineering, Computer Science, Automotive Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Typically5+ yearsinsoftware and/or embedded systems testing, including automotive or other safety/missioncritical domains.

• Experience with bothmanual and automated testing.

• Demonstrated ability to develop and executetest strategiesfor complex systems.

• Proven experience testingembedded systemsand/or distributed services, withlargescale automated test suites.

• Strong programming/scripting inC/C++, Java, and/or Pythonfor test automation and tooling.

• Experience withtest automation frameworks(e.g., Robot Framework) andCI systems(e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).

• Experience withHIL and/or SIL testing toolsor equivalent platforms.

• Solid understanding ofvehicle communication protocols(e.g.,CAN, LIN, Ethernet; OBDIIa plus).

• Handson use ofversion control(e.g.,Git).

• Familiarity withperformance and profiling toolsfor diagnosing system issues.

• Experience withAPI testing(e.g., Insomnia, Postman).

• Ability to read requirements/architecture documents and turn them into effective test designs.

• Experience with network protocol analysis tools such asWireshark.

Soft Skills (Required)

• Strongownership mindset; able to drive test planning and execution across teams.

• Excellentanalytical and problemsolvingskills with a datadriven approach.

• Clear, conciseverbal and written communicationfor both technical and nontechnical audiences.

• Ability to workindependently and collaborativelyin a fastpaced environment.

• Highattention to detailand consistent focus onquality, safety, and customer impact.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience onvehicle observabilityor related platform capabilities.

• Familiarity withOpenTelemetryand modern observability stacks (metrics, logs, traces).

• Experience withCI/CDtooling beyond basics (e.g., pipeline design, test orchestration, quality gates).

• Experience withcloud platforms(AWS, Azure, GCP) andcontainers(Docker, Kubernetes) in vehicle or edge contexts.

• Track recordleading quality efforts forcrossteamor multicomponent initiatives.

• Contributions to internal frameworks or opensource projects intest automation,quality engineering, orobservability.
