GVHE Hardware-Software Co-Optimization Architect

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.. The Role In a rapidly-evolving industry like automotive, the need for seamless hardware/software integration is paramount. As a Global Vehicle Hardware Engineering (GVHE) Hardware-Systems Co-Optimization Architect, you have the unique opportunity to shape GM's future by leading how hardware subsystems integrate with the vehicle and its software. In this role, you will act as a hardware‐systems simulation authority for GM, owning how GVHE hardware and controllers come together in multi‐domain virtual vehicles. What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

• Establish central CoSIM capability that works with Software and Services Systems Engineers and GVHE Tech Specialists/ETLs to define reference architectures, model libraries, and methods for GVHE‐owned domains.
• Engage in focused pilots that are tightly wired into system based engineering, and Virtual Validation processes and influence GVDP performance assessment
• Integrate Hardware via CoSIM into the Systems Engineering and Virtual Validation backbone.
• Lead strategies that balance system co‐simulation concepts, SimBOM and Virtual/Test elements.
• Ensure CoSIM assets, runs, and metrics reflect hardware performance. decisions, eliminating the need for physical demos.
• Achieve measurable outputs including the virtualization of test cases, earlier defect detection, reduction in HIL/vehicle & bench usage in the pilot domains, and credible correlation between CoSIM and physical test. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent
• Minimum 3 years of experience in product development, systems engineering, electrical architecture, or work related to software/hardware connectivity.
• Technical knowledge of hardware components and vehicle-level integration
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Skilled and proficient with a variety of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures.
• Extensive personal experience and discernment to plan and accomplish goals.
