Job DescriptionWork Classification:Hybrid: The successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI three times per week, at minimum, or as dictated by the business.The Team:The SDV Infrastructure Calibration Organization owns the delivery of all SDV infrastructure calibrations across GM. We ensure every platform, domain, and feature has the foundational calibration content required for safe, intelligent, and reliable operation.We are also building the next generation of calibration automation — intelligent agents, automated workflows, and scalable systems that transform calibration from a manual engineering task into a software‑driven capability.We blend calibration domain knowledge with modern software, data, and AI thinking. We move quickly, solve complex problems, and build the tools that will define how calibration is delivered in the SDV era.The Role:We are looking for an engineer who understands infrastructure software and can apply software, data, and AI techniques to the calibration space. This role requires someone who can analyze how calibrations work, determine how they should be applied across vehicle and cosim variants, and build automation that delivers them reliably and at scale.You will work at the intersection of calibration, embedded software, diagnostics, data pipelines, and intelligent automation. Your work will directly enable fast, accurate, and repeatable calibration delivery across the enterprise.What You’ll Do:Analyze infrastructure calibrations to understand structure, intent, dependencies, and program applicabilityBuild automation and intelligent workflows that determine correct calibration settings for each program and variantDevelop tools, scripts, and AI‑assisted systems that generate, validate, and deliver calibration contentOwn calibration delivery for cosim variants, vehicle variants, and SDV programsCreate infrastructure components that support calibration automation, including data pipelines, diagnostic interfaces, and communication layersWork across microcontroller platforms, communication stacks, and diagnostic frameworksValidate calibration behavior through simulation, cosim, and bench testingIdentify patterns, rules, and constraints that can be automated or learned by intelligent systemsCollaborate with calibrators, software engineers, and platform teams to ensure calibration readinessContinuously improve calibration workflows, infrastructure, and automation capabilitiesYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Controls, or related field5+ years of experience in infrastructure software, embedded systems, calibration, or automationStrong understanding of calibration workflows, vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet), and diagnostics (UDS, GMW)Experience with embedded software systems, microcontroller architectures, and infrastructure‑level softwareProficiency in Python or similar scripting languagesAbility to analyze complex systems and derive calibration rules, constraints, and dependenciesStrong problem‑solving skills and attention to detailAbility to work independently, manage priorities, and deliver in a fast‑moving environmentWhat Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)Master’s degree in engineering or computer science6–8+ years of experience in calibration infrastructure or SDV‑related softwareExperience building automated calibration tools, ML‑based calibration systems, or agent‑based workflowsFamiliarity with cloud‑connected calibration workflows or OTA ecosystemsExperience with large‑scale data processing, rule extraction, or automated validationBackground in diagnostics, communication stacks, or regulatory calibration requirementsExperience leading cross‑functional technical effortsWho Thrives Here:Engineers who think like software developers but understand calibration intentPeople who can reverse‑engineer complex systems and automate themThose who enjoy building intelligent tools that eliminate manual workEngineers who want to define how calibration is delivered in the SDV era This role is categorized as hybrid. 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}.
