Work Arrangement :
Hybrid: Position does not require an employee to be on-site full-time but the general expectation is that the employee be onsite an average of three (3) days each week.
The Role:
VMEC, Vehicle Mechatronics Embedded Controls, is a production level group that supports the definition, design, and development of all embedded controllers that impact vehicle motion. The Sub-System Lead Engineer (SSLE) is an individual contributor with recognized expertise responsible for tasks and work throughout the entire vehicle development lifecycle, including requirements definition, design and implementation, testing, and problem resolution. Agile, systems engineering, requirements and embedded controls development, and calibration knowledge are a definite plus. The drive and tenacity to grow technically and professionally while working on some of General Motor's most exciting features is a must!
We are specifically hiring for Electrification Propulsion Controls area - focused on optimizing system operation to maximize range and drivability of electrified vehicles. Including online optimization of torque splits on dual axles of Electric and Hybrid vehicles, selecting/stabilizing engine and transmission states using open and closed loop torque distribution strategies, battery power management and regenerative braking to maximize energy efficiency while controlling battery state of charge. Additional challenges require applying control theory to prevent or remove disturbances (bumps, clunks, shuddering, etc.) from the driveline.
What You'll Do:
Lead complex sub-system analysis to define functional controls and requirements, including I/O Interface requirements (e.g., mapping, performance, transfer functions, safety, regulatory, etc.), while applying Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) principles.
Leverage physical (Vehicles and benches) and virtual (Models and simulations) to establish test cases and acceptance criteria for normal and degraded states of applicable sub-systems.
Create and maintain Sub-System Technical Specification (SSTS) and Behavioral Test Specifications (BTS) documents for applicable subsystems.
Create and maintain sub-system specifications in requirements management software (e.g., Doors, DNG, Markdown, etc.), including Functional Architecture Documents (FADs), and Context Diagrams with the assistance of Global Architecture teams.
Lead the root cause analysis for all appliable sub-system related issues and translate solutions into new or revised requirements.
Lead sub-system level FMEAs and collaborate on System and Component FMEAs and manage FMEA processes across applicable subsystems.
Collaborate with Controls and Software Engineers to review software implementation, ensuring compliance with requirements, and creating/executing Features/Stories in Jira to manage sub-system requirements and specifications.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Computer Science, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline
Minimum of 5+ years of experience in the field of expertise
Experience or working knowledge in EV and Hybrid Operating Strategy execution
Experience or working knowledge in EV Driveline Dynamics management
Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., Doors, DNG, Markdown, etc.)
Strong analytical problem-solving skills, including independent judgment and decision-making skills, where problems are very unusual and extremely difficult
Demonstrated communication and interpersonal skills required to build relationships with team members and customers to solve problems and resolve issues
Physics-based understanding of the Voice-of-Customer
Ability to effectively communicate issues, status, and recommendations to leadership
Proven ability in project management skills and ability to teach others
Ability to prioritize work with only limited direction from manager
What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
Master's or PhD in Engineering with an emphasis on Controls
Experience in EV and Hybrid Operating Strategy execution, including constraints management (RESS power, motor torque, torque security), shift execution management, drive unit management (oil pump, lube, oil temp sensing, and disconnect clutch), ETRS actuator management or friction fill and strong hybrid axle torque distribution
Experience in EV Driveline Dynamics management (active damping, lash, and wheel slip)
Experience leveraging simulation environments and plant modeling for testing or requirements generation is a plus (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, D-Space HIL, SIL, ETAS Inca, etc.)
Experience with change management tools (e.g., Jira, GIT, IBM RTC, etc.)
Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering and associates SysML Tools (e.g., Rhapsody) Experience with Scaled Agile Development (SAFe) process
Experience with OBD regulations requirements
Experience with safety critical systems (e.g., ISO-26262)
