• Define calibration strategies and promote robust coding practices in controls and software implementation.
• Ensure compliance with safety and government regulations while following GM-internal best practices.
• Maintain production software and manage version control.
• Define software unit tests, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) tests, and vehicle tests based on customer expectations and system requirements.
• Meet higher-level, physics-based requirements with efficient designs using modeling, simulation, data collection, and analysis.
• Support resolution of vehicle, plant, or customer issues related to controls and calibration.
• Help build tools, libraries, and training material to enable capability growth and support team learning.
• Collaborate with other teams to define and integrate components and verify functionality on the bench and in the vehicle.
• Work cross-functionally with System Engineers, Software Engineers, Feature/Function Engineers, Calibrators, and Scrum Managers/Scrum Leaders to ensure robust designs.
• Mentor new employees to increase team capabilities and share knowledge.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.
• Travel as required, primarily during the winter testing season.
