TL;DR · Senior System and System Safety Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics State Estimation

As a Senior System and System Safety Engineer - Vehicle Dynamics State Estimation (GPSSC), you will join the Planar Motion Coordination team within Global Systems Engineering, Safety, and Validation. You will own the functional safety deliverables for the Vehicle Dynamics State Estimation system, which fuses sensor data to calculate dynamic states like reference velocity and tire forces even during faults. Your daily responsibilities include defining functional requirements, performing hazard analysis, fault tree analysis, and FMEA, while ensuring traceability through model-based systems engineering. You will guide requirement confirmation via simulation and physical testing on HIL benches and vehicles. The role requires expertise in ISO 26262 or other functional safety standards, experience with embedded control systems, and a background in vehicle dynamics such as braking or steering to solve complex motion control challenges for the global vehicle portfolio.

What you'll do

  • Lead the definition and completion of the Vehicle Dynamics State Estimation (VDSE) system safety case for GM vehicle programs.
  • Define functional and performance requirements in collaboration with cross-functional engineering and product teams.
  • Perform hazard analysis, fault tree analysis, interface analysis, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
  • Manage the execution of new requirements and ensure traceability across impacted organizations.
  • Validate requirements through analysis, simulation, and physical testing on HIL benches and vehicles.
  • Utilize model-based systems engineering techniques to improve design quality and variant management.
  • Serve as the corporate subject matter expert for VDSE to influence technology direction and resolve technical issues.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in systems engineering or functional safety.
  • Experience developing or integrating embedded control systems.
  • Familiarity with ISO 26262 or other functional safety standards like IEC 61508, IEC 62304, or DO-178C.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to operate test vehicles.
  • Experience developing vehicle dynamics related products such as braking, steering, or suspension (preferred).
  • Experience developing vehicle dynamics state estimation systems, controls architecture, or software (preferred).
  • Experience owning an automotive functional safety case through a complete lifecycle (preferred).
