Software Engineer - Battery HIL Integration & Simulation
General Motors, Warren, Michigan, United States, 48091
Software Engineer - Battery HIL Integration & Simulation
Join General Motors as a Software Engineer – Battery HIL Integration & Simulation.
Hybrid:
This role is categorized as hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to Michigan 3‑4 days per week, at minimum, or as the business dictates if more than 3 days.
The Role:
General Motors is undergoing a major transformation, both in how we operate and in how we will influence the future of transportation in the EV realm. Our Software Services team is on the forefront of this work, emboldening our culture by seeking determined, innovative individuals to help move us forward and achieve our mission. We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the roles of Battery & Propulsion HIL Engineer. The HIL Engineer role is responsible for creating hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments to enable development, verification, and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations for battery, electrification, engine, and powertrain. This position designs and maintains models using dSpace Simulink and Simscape tools. Simulation allows GM to move integration and validation tasks earlier in the development cycle, releasing new products and features faster and improving competitiveness. The position also requires designing the harness, layout, the ECUs, and power for our HIL bench.
You will be a GM Entrepreneur responsible for delivering finished products on time, meeting goals, and tailoring processes to be more efficient. You will utilize Agile principles, Scrum ART direction with stories written for tasks. These methods support Lean Manufacturing principles and DFSS knowledge to improve exponentially in what you accomplish and raise the quality of what you contribute to GM.
Responsibilities include:
Work closely with software development, calibration, and validation stakeholders to identify solutions to customer needs.
Create and maintain simulation models (such as plant, sensors and actuators, serial data communication, and controller models) for creating test environments.
Design HIL benches including harness design, power requirements, and integration of key ECMs. Understanding of ISO SPI, CAN tools, INCA.
Understand and apply Agile principles that support DFSS tools and methodologies. Bring Lean Manufacturing and thinking into daily process as a HIL Engineer.
Close partnership with test environment users to root‑cause issues, address unexpected test results, and resolve issues encountered during test execution.
Plan, communicate, and coordinate test environment strategy and model/hardware rollout to support applications and features requested by the user community as needed.
Support HIL bench and automated tools.
Work closely with sources of models and equipment to ensure that common models and other simulation assets are shared between test environment domains and architectures.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechatronics, Electrical, Software or Computer preferred).
2+ years of experience in designing models with real‑time simulation.
2+ years of experience programming using C, C++, and Python.
2+ years of experience in HIL design and integration.
2+ years of experience in automotive engineering.
1+ year of experience applying DFSS tools and methodologies to solve problems.
What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
Experience with developing microprocessor‑based, real‑time control algorithms and software in high‑level (Python, C/C++) language.
Experience with embedded controls software and the automated software build processes, including gcc compiler, gdb debugger, Eclipse, and ETAS INCA measurement and calibration tools.
Experience with commonly used HIL bench tools, such as ETAS INCA, Lauterbach, CAN (CANalyzer or Vehicle Spy), software code generation, Python, etc.
Experience as a Controls, Software, or Calibration Engineer.
