Simulation Integration Engineer - Software-In-Loop (SIL) Controls Integration and Simulation Development
Description
Hybrid Position: This position does not require an employee to be on-site full-time to perform most effectively. The employee's role enables them to work at a GM facility or off-site as frequently as needed or desired. In the USA, this is an employee who lives 100 miles or less from their designated, primary worksite.
This position requires an employee to be onsite monthly.
We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the role of SIL SIE (Software-in-the-Loop Simulation Integration Engineer) to support the Virtual Design Development Validation (VDDV) group. This role is part of a group responsible for creating virtual environments to enable calibration, verification, and validation of embedded controllers for engine, transmission, hybrid, electrification, chassis.
The Simulation Integration Engineer is responsible for leading the move to virtual engineering by leading the integration of full-vehicle cross-functional co-simulation packages that are used for all aspects of vehicle development. This position involves high level of collaboration with teams throughout General Motors including VDDV, Vehicle Motion Embedded Controls (VMEC), Calibration, Algorithm, Vehicle Performance, Validation, and Hardware Development. This position requires an individual with a passion for virtualization, an adept knowledge of hardware and software integrated systems, and a demonstrated capability to manage a wide variety of technical and customer needs. He or she will work as a liaison between the Plant Modeling team, Tools team, and internal development teams, to integrate and deliver simulation environments on time and with quality. A balance of technical and project leadership skills and the ability to think outside the box to find simple yet exciting solutions is paramount.
Responsibilities:
- Work closely with stakeholders to identify requirements, schedule, and deploy simulation projects to enable virtual vehicle design, development, and validation
- Engage with cross functional team members to coordinate on-time delivery of simulation components to meet requirements and timing
- Integrate plant models and other ECU models with controller software source code and perform virtual system verification based on requirements
- Obtain, develop, parameterize, and test virtual controller models to be used across different components such as HWIO, RTOS, controller I/O, and other ECU behavioral models
- Perform simulation correlation activities based on experimental data
- Create, maintain, and improve standard simulation architectures
- Provide support for released simulations, including detailed documentation, and assist users with testing and troubleshooting
- Design, develop, verify and execute automated test suites
- Assist initiatives to benchmark and adopt next-generation simulation technology and tools
- Identify, implement, and standardize new simulation development processes of engineering
- Provide process and architecture feedback improvements
