About this role

General Motors is hiring a Senior Software Engineer - Software Design Leader (SWDL) to lead embedded software design delivery for Automated Driving and Active Safety (ADAS). The role focuses on DST-aligned build artifact generation, defect management, patch build coordination, and raising automation and test coverage through process improvement.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee DPLY/Manifest artifact generation aligned with Detailed Software Timing (DST) requirements
Identify, document, and manage software build-related defects for timely closure
Support creation of patch builds for urgent issues or late-breaking changes
Coordinate updates to Software Bill of Materials (BOM) and scheduler for evolving changes
Mentor software component owners and implement opportunities for increased automation and enhanced software testing coverage

Technical Overview

You will oversee software build processes using automation tools such as Jenkins and manage Detailed Software Timing (DST) requirements including DPLY/Manifest artifacts. The scope includes Software Bill of Materials (BOM) and scheduler updates, patch builds, and defect tracking/closure, with leadership mentoring and potential tool migrations (e.g., GIT and Classic AUTOSAR environments).

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a senior/lead-level software engineer with at least 5 years of software engineering experience and strong C programming skills. They have deep experience with software build processes and automation tooling such as Jenkins, and can manage Detailed Software Timing (DST) workflows including DPLY/Manifest artifacts. They also demonstrate leadership through mentoring and process/tool improvements (including AUTOSAR/toolchain familiarity).
