Work Arrangement:
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI or Warren, MI three times a week, at minimum.
The Role:
The Low Voltage Infrastructure Team within the Embedded Platform Systems & Infrastructure organization is focused on the development of systems and controls centered around on-vehicle low voltage power generation, energy storage, power management, distribution, and consumption on ICE, EV and PHEV vehicle platforms. There is no better time to join this domain as we evolve to the next generation of low voltage power strategy, innovation, and capability in current product VIP and the next generation on SDV2.0.
As a Systems Engineer for Low Voltage Performance, your technical expertise in low voltage power consumption will be leveraged throughout the entire vehicle development life cycle, including requirements, design, testing, and problem resolution. You will drive GM’s industry leadership of optimized low voltage consumption by defining low voltage energy consumption use cases, setting consumption targets, analyzing and driving reductions in power consumption for complex devices and features, and assessing competitor low voltage consumption performance.
What You'll Do:
Analyze 12V performance data from the field and from test properties.
Own the total power consumption performance of complex components and electronic control units, working on consumption reduction and optimization activities across organizations.
Work with systems functional engineers to ensure traceability of system requirements and targets to hardware subsystems.
Analyze and summarize status to energy consumption targets based on use cases.
Analyze competitive performance with respect to power consumption reduction and optimization strategies. Drive action to the appropriate organizations to address gaps.
Engineer solutions in power consumption estimation and power reduction techniques; support component and feature owners as needed to analyze and meet targets.
Work through complex trade-off decisions, buy-offs, and escalation of power consumption issues with vehicle and product teams.
Drive the change management for solutions to power consumption issues through the organization using Jira and Epics.
Own the low voltage systems requirements workflow process in Jira
Additional Job DescriptionYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
Bachelor's degree in Engineering
2+ years of automotive engineering experience related to embedded controls, requirements development, architecture development, and/or systems engineering.
Experience analyzing, estimating, and reducing low voltage power consumption of vehicle components, ECUs, and features.
Ability to process a large amount of information flow, identify multiple parameters, interdependencies and inconsistencies to provide both high-level systems overview and deep domain expertise.
General understanding of vehicle electrical architectures, communication protocols, and ECU wakeup strategies.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, including independent judgement and decision-making skills, where problems are very unusual and extremely difficult.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex projects and assignments with a high level of autonomy and accountability for results.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
Master's degree in Engineering with a focus on Controls, Electrical, Mechanical, and/or Systems Engineering.
5+ years of automotive engineering experience related to embedded controls, requirements development, architecture development, and/or systems engineering.
Proficiency in Agile processes and built-in quality concepts such as Behavioral Driven Development.
Experience executing production programs through launch.
Proven expertise in low voltage power consumption analysis and reduction.
Record of innovation in systems, subsystems, or feature design: patents, awards, or publications.
Development experience with Software Defined Vehicle electrical architecture.
Experience with requirements management tools (i.e. DOORs, DNG, Markdown, etc).
Experience with change management tools (i.e. Jira, GIT, etc).
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.).
