Job Description

Vacancy Status:

This posting is not for an existing vacancy within the organization and is open to new applications.

AI Disclosure:

As part of the application process, Artificial Intelligence will be used in the hiring process for this role

Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office three days per week, at minimum

The Role:

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation in how we design, develop, andvalidatesoftware as we move toward ourZero Crashes, Zero Emissions, Zero Congestion vision for the future of transportation. As part of theSoftware Defined Vehicle – Embedded Platforms organization, theStaff Continuous Integration Architect will lead the design and implementation of CI/CD strategies that power our Virtual TestChambers (CoSimulationenvironments) for system and vehiclelevel embedded software and calibration development.

This roleiswithin theVirtualization andSoftware-in-the-Loop(SIL) Integration group, whichis responsible forcreating virtual in-the-loop environments to enable development, verification, and validation of embedded controllers,production software,and calibrationsacross thevehicle/mechatronicsdomains

You willown howvECUs, FMUs, and CoSim packages are built, tested, and deployed across Windows, Linux,SOLEand HPC environments. You will architect scalable CI/CD pipelines, standardize build and execution flows, and enable engineering teams to deliverhigh-qualitysoftware faster and more reliably.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities) 

Build & Toolchain – CI Architecture

• Design and implementCI/CD build pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that support Cloud,Windows, Linux, and HPC environments at scale.

• Define andmaintainstandard build flows for L3/L4 virtual ECUs and FMUs (SIL tool builds,board-levelHWIOsimulationdrivers, FMU generation).

• Createreusable CI templates and composite actions that standardize how teams build, test, and package controllers and CoSim assets across multiple GitHub and/or internal repositories.

• Establish robustbuild validation workflows , including unit, integration, and regression checks (e.g.,Simulation Behavior Tests) that can run regardless of underlying test framework.

• Enable team tobuild metrics, dashboards, and alerts to ensurevisibility intobuildhealth, performance, and quality trends

Simulation Pipeline & Execution Orchestration

• Design andmaintainthe execution pipeline for L3/L4 CoSim packages, including orchestration of internal simulation and test execution frameworks (e.g., virtual environment launchers, test schedulers, and results collectors) across on-prem and cloud infrastructure.

• Ensure pipelines canefficiently run multiple configurations and variants per package without manual rework.

• Implementtestcase–driven configurationselection so thatsystem-leveltest definitions drive which packages, variants, and configurations are executed.

• Enableteam todefine and implementprerunlearncycleflows (e.g., RID/NVM learning,multi-layered testgatingpromotion strategies) to ensure simulations start from correct conditions.

• Collaborate with Quality & Metrics partners to emitrich metadata for traceability (e.g., package, variant, build ID, test plan, environment, and results).

• Improve theperformance, reliability, and debuggability of the execution stack (queueing, retries,failurecategorization, log standardization).

• Automatedeployments of CoSim packages and virtual test assets to endcustomers and shared environments (onpremand/or cloud).

Technical Leadership & Collaboration

• Serve as thetechnical authority for CI/CD andexecutionorchestration within Virtualization and SIL Integration.This includes monitoring execution, triaging, anddebuggingsystemic issues

• Partner closely withSimulation Integration Engineers (SIEs) , domaincontrolsteams, and calibration engineers to align build and execution pipelines with evolving feature and test requirements.

• Work witharchitecture and infrastructure teams to support Linux/HPC/SDV-OS execution needs and future scalability.

• Mentor and coach other engineers onCI/CD best practices, automation patterns, and tooling , enabling a culture of continuous improvement andself‑service

• Providetechnical support and guidance to internal users of virtual test environments, helping to troubleshoot build, integration, and execution issues.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, ora relatedtechnical field.

• 12+ years of software engineering experience, witha significant portionfocused onCI/CD, build systems, and test automation for complex,multi‑componentsoftware.

• StrongC/C++ buildexpertise , including compilers, linkers, optimization levels, and debug symbol management.

• Hands‑onexperience withGCC/Clang and common build systems (e.g.,make,CMake, or equivalent).

• ProficiencyinPython and at least oneadditionalscripting language (PowerShell, Bash , etc.) for automation and tooling.

• Demonstrated experiencebuilding andmaintainingCI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) for large codebases and/ormulti‑repoenvironments.

• ExperiencewithcustomvNETrunner image

• Experience withtest automation frameworks , job schedulers, or orchestration systems used to run large suites of tests across distributed resources.

• Working knowledge ofSIL/HIL execution characteristics and constraints , including performance, determinism, andreal‑timeconsiderations.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills witha track recordofpartnering across teams (e.g., integration, controls, testing, infrastructure).

What Can Give YouACompetitive Edge  ( Preferred Qualifications):

• 15years of software development and integration experience, including leadership of CI/CD transformations orplatform‑levelinitiatives.

• Experience designing and deliveringvirtualization or software-in-the-loop(SIL) integration solutions for automotive or similarly complex embedded domains.

• Hands‑onexperience with tools and concepts such as:

• Execution Management/Cloud Orchestration,IntegrationAutomation,RobotTest Framework,Model-Based SystemsEngineering (or equivalent orchestration/test systems)

• Virtual ECUs (vECUs) , FMUs, SSP, and associated modeling and packaging standards

• Git, GitHub/Gerrit , and code review workflows

• Regression testing , automated test generation, and integration of model-based tests (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink) into CI pipelines

• Background inembedded controls software for one or more of the following: vehicle body controls, propulsion thermal management, battery management,chassisand brake controls.

• Experience withcloudhosted CI/CD and execution environments , containerization, and/orinfrastructure-as-codeapproaches for scaling test capacity.

• Demonstrated ability tolead cross-functional initiatives , influence technical direction without direct authority, and mentor senior engineers.
