Job DescriptionThe Team:The CoSim Infrastructure, Quality, and Scalability team, within GM's Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, builds the foundational software, automation, and integration capabilities that make virtual ECUs and co-simulation environments reliable, reusable, and scalable across vehicle domains.
The team develops and evolves CoSim/SIL infrastructure-including SoftECU and FMI-based capabilities, RestBus and SIMETH connectivity, HWIO and calibration enablement, build and CI/CD pipelines, and automated quality gates-while improving package consistency, test coverage, observability, and defect triage.
Their work enables engineering, calibration, and verification teams to validate embedded-platform software earlier and with greater confidence, supporting daily regression testing as well as complex, multi-variant, multi-domain virtual validation. Within the broader Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, the team collaborates closely with domain teams to deliver high-fidelity virtual environments and advance GM's software-defined vehicle development process.
The Role:As a
Staff Software Engineer, you will define the architecture for GM's next-generation virtual development platform, including SIL orchestration, AI-enhanced simulation, data flows, and cloud-native compute.
You'll build on your strengths in automation, embedded systems, and debugging while expanding into cloud orchestration, IaC, ML workflows, and distributed simulation systems.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities): - Architect distributed simulation systems for vECUs, FMUs, and SIL/MIL workloads, ensuring scalable execution across heterogeneous environments.
- Define AI - enabled simulation patterns including scenario generation, model-based inference, and data pipelines.
- Design cloud - native compute platforms optimized for large-scale parallel, and elastically scalable simulation workloads.
- Establish API and service architecture for orchestration and data management.
- Guide CI/CD integration for simulation and AI components.
- Mentor developers and influence technical direction across teams.
- Ensure security, observability, and reliability across the platform.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):- Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 10+ years of relevant experience in software architecture, simulation, or distributed systems.
- Expertise in backend and distributed systems.
- Experience with virtualization and simulation (vECUs, FMUs, SIL).
- Strong cloud architecture skills.
- Experience with CLI-based architecture and MCP-based architecture for AI tools design.
- Experience with ontology-based system design and architecture.
- AI/ML integration experience for simulation or data workflows.
- Knowledge of data engineering and storage patterns.
- Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications): - Experience designing simulation platforms at enterprise scale.
- Knowledge of automotive domain modeling and ontology.
- Experience with event - driven architectures for simulation workflows.
- Experience with Agentic AI architecture and multi-agent coordination.
- Advanced knowledge of ontology technologies and ontology design patterns (Owl, RDF, SPARQL, Automated reasoning)
- Advanced ML workflow experience (feature stores, model serving, vector DBs).
