Senior Software Engineer - Battery HIL - Simulation and Integration
Be an Early Applicant
The role involves creating and maintaining hardware in the loop (HIL) environments to support simulation for battery and powertrain systems, collaborating on model design, and improving processes through Lean Manufacturing.
Description
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 out determined, innovative individuals who will join our team to help move us forward and achieve our mission.
We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the role of Software Engineer - Battery HIL Simulation and Integration.
