Work Arrangement : This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office three days per week, at minimum.
The Role
The Virtualization and SIL Integration team at General Motors is a highly technical, highly knowledgeable, passionate, strategic, and visionary group working on an organizational transformation. We are seeking cutting-edge solutions to the question : how do we develop and validate our embedded control system without any hardware? Part of developing a completely virtual embedded control system is developing L4 virtual electronic control units (vECU) that serve as real-time virtual counterparts of physical ECUs. These are functional virtual prototypes of ECUs that execute unmodified production code. These enable engineers to develop software years before ECU hardware is available.
The General Motors Virtualization and SIL Integration team is expanding its capabilities to model, integrate, and fully develop Level 4 Virtual ECUs. As a Virtual Prototyping Application Engineer, you will be responsible for making SystemC TLM 2.0 models of ECU microcontrollers and peripherals. This team supports all vehicle embedded platform features, including Electrification, Propulsion, Motion Controls, Chassis, and Body modules.
What you will do
- Create SystemC TLM2.0 models of microcontrollers, asics, drivers, modules, switches, timers, transceivers, etc.
- Integrate microcontroller and peripheral models into full Level 4 virtual ECUs
- Debug model and integration bugs and issues
- Work cross-functionally with Design Release Engineers, Tier 1 suppliers, and software engineers to develop vECUs
- Integrate production software into vECUs
- Validate and verify vECU functions as expected and executes production software as intended
- Collaborate with software developers to root cause and solve low-level, basic software and application software issues found in the virtual environment
- Debug integrated production software as needed
- Develop script-based engineering workarounds to bridge virtual model limitation gaps
- Work cross-functionally with Simulation Integration Engineers to support the integration of vECUs into virtual environments
