As a Senior ECU Hardware Requirements & Specifications Engineer at General Motors, you will lead the development and management of hardware requirements and specifications for Electronic Control Units (ECUs) across various vehicle platforms. Your daily tasks include updating existing and creating new technical interface definitions, supporting semiconductor functional safety activities, standardizing I/O interfaces, and driving commonization efforts to ensure seamless software implementations. You will collaborate with diverse engineering teams to align ECU designs with GM’s standards and work on traceability mechanisms for verification activities. This role requires a deep understanding of microcontrollers, memory technologies, vehicle serial data communications, and semiconductor physics, as well as experience in automotive embedded control systems and high Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) designs.

What you'll do

  • Develop and manage technical requirements for ECU hardware components.
  • Standardize I/O interfaces to drive commonization of ECU hardware designs.
  • Solicit new embedded controller requirement definitions from various stakeholders.
  • Support weekly requirement review meetings and implement changes as needed.
  • Ensure traceability between internal/external CTRS requirements and verification activities.
  • Align requirements with outsourced design activities, modifying designs when necessary.
  • Stay updated on new technologies to refine GM’s requirement documentation methods.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of engineering experience in product development or related field.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge of microcontrollers, memory technologies, and vehicle serial data communications (Ethernet, CAN, LIN, SENT, SERDES).
  • High level of understanding of hardware and low-level software interface designs in electronic control units.
  • Experience with technical requirement capture and management tools like DOORS.
  • Demonstrated leadership and project management skills for complex technical projects.
  • Deep knowledge of safety critical embedded controls and experience applying functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
  • Familiarity with Electric Vehicle electrical/electronic architectures and defining ECU hardware requirements.
