Job description

Job Description
The Role:
VMEC Chassis Controls is building next-generation suspension control systems from the ground up, bringing key capabilities in-house for the first time. We're looking for Senior Embedded Controls Software Engineers who want to be part of that from day one: writing hand-coded C, owning software end to end, and directly shaping how these systems perform across GM's vehicle portfolio.
This team operates with a startup mindset inside GM: fast-moving, highly collaborative, and comfortable working through ambiguity. The ideal candidate writes high-quality production embedded software, thrives in that environment, and is motivated by building something new. This role offers strong growth opportunities and long-term impact as the team matures and scales.
What you'll Do:
  • Design, implement, and test embedded control software using hand-coded C (non-model-based, non-scripted)

  • Own software from architecture through implementation, testing, and release

  • Build and maintain robust unit and integration tests with strong traceability

  • Drive software quality, including maintainability, robustness, and MISRA compliance

  • Contribute to Agile development (story breakdown, reviews, demos, retrospectives)

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues

  • Influence technical decisions and drive continuous improvement

  • Mentor team members and promote best practices

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
  • Strong, current hands-on experience writing production code in C (non-scripting, non-model-based)

  • Ability to design, implement, and debug embedded software directly in C is required

  • Experience only interpreting auto-generated code (e.g., from MATLAB/Simulink) is not sufficient

  • 5+ years of embedded software development experience

  • Experience with embedded systems testing (unit and integration)

  • Working knowledge of C++ and/or Python

  • Experience with version control (Git) and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira)

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

  • Ability to work effectively in environments with evolving requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
  • Experience in Chassis Controls, Vehicle Dynamics, Steering, Suspension, Brakes, or related mechatronic domains

  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink (in addition to-not instead of-hand coding)

  • Experience with automotive standards, diagnostics, or calibration tools

  • Experience in agile software development

  • Advanced degree in a related field

  • Familiarity with Jira, Git/Github

  • Knowledge of BDD, TDD, diagnostics, calibration tools, and automotive development processes

  • Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical work

This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
