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.\nEvery 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\nThe Sub-System Lead Engineer (SSLE) for Electric Power Components will lead the technical definition, integration, and validation of low-voltage electric power subsystems and their vehicle interfaces. The scope includes lead-acid batteries, intelligent battery sensors, DC/AC inverters, generators, and related power, communication, diagnostic, and control interfaces across current and future vehicle programs.\nThis role is accountable for translating vehicle and system needs into clear, testable subsystem requirements; maintainingalignment across hardware, software, controls, diagnostics, calibration, safety, validation, manufacturing, service, and suppliers; and driving timelyresolution of complex technical issues. The SSLE will operatewith a high levelof independent judgment, influence technical direction across organizational boundaries, and lead work through collaboration rather than direct people management.\nThe Role\nAs a senior technical individual contributor, you will own the requirements and technical integration strategy for an assigned Electric Power subsystem or group of interfaces. You will connect customer and vehicle-level needs to component-level implementation and verification, ensuring that the resulting solution is robust, traceable, manufacturable, serviceable, and ready for program milestones.\nYou will work closely with Design Release Engineers, Functional System Architects, system and safety engineers, controls and software teams, technical specialists, validation teams, manufacturing, purchasing, service, and suppliers. You will also provide technical leadership to cross-functional teams and guide the work of other engineers as needed.\nWhat You’llDo\nLead the definition and maintenance of subsystem requirements for lead-acid batteries, intelligent battery sensors, DC/AC inverters, generators, and related Electric Power interfaces.\n\nDevelop, review, and maintainSub-System Technical Specifications and, where applicable, Behavioral Technical Specifications, interface requirements, diagnostic requirements, and acceptance criteria.\n\nDecompose system and vehicle requirements into clear, complete, consistent, feasible, and verifiable subsystem requirements with full traceability.\n\nMaintain requirements and interface content in the approved requirements-management environment, including DOORS/DNG or successor tools, and ensure changes are controlled and communicated.\n\nDevelop or contribute to Model-Based Systems Engineering artifacts, such as context, block definition, use-case, activity, and internal block diagrams, to clarify subsystem behavior and interfaces.\n\nLead cross-functional requirementand behavior discussions, including triad reviews and Given/When/Then scenario development where applicable.\n\nPartner with Design Release Engineers and suppliers to ensure componentdesigns, packaging, electrical interfaces, communication behavior, diagnostics, and performance meet subsystem intent.\n\nCollaborate with controls, software, diagnostics, calibration, and systems teams to review implementation, resolve integration gaps, and ensure hardware and software operateas an integrated solution.\n\nDefine and maintainthe validationintent for the subsystem, including testable scenarios, acceptance criteria, test coverage, and support for the Testable Functionality Roll-Out Plan.\n\nCoordinate with bench, vehicle, simulation, and virtual-validation teams to evaluate designs, investigate anomalies, and close issues using quantitative and qualitative evidence.\n\nSupport development and maintenance of subsystem and solution FMEAs, including linkage to safety, manufacturing, service, and software-related failure modes.\n\nSupport safety, regulatory, OBD, cybersecurity, and other compliance-related requirements as applicable to the assigned subsystem.\n\nLead root-cause analysis for subsystem issues, drive corrective actions with the responsible teams and suppliers, and translate approved resolutions into updated requirements or interface definitions.\n\nParticipate in design reviews, technical reviews, program milestone assessments, issue reviews, Agile ceremonies, iteration planning, and program increment activities as applicable.\n\nManage technical work through the appropriate backlogand issue-tracking tools, including Jira, and maintainclear status, decisions, risks, and dependencies.\n\nDrive alignment across multiple vehicle programs and stakeholders when Electric Power components or interfaces are reused, variantized, or changed.\n\nIdentifytechnical risks early, establishrecovery actions, and communicate concise recommendations to engineering and program leadership.\n\nMentor and coach engineers in requirementsquality, systems thinking, interface management, validation intent, and disciplined issue resolution.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, systems engineering, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.\n\nAt least five plus years of experience in automotive engineering, systems engineering, componentdevelopment, electrical architecture, or a closely related technical field.\n\nExperience developing, reviewing, or managing requirements for automotive systems, subsystems, components, or interfaces.\n\nKnowledge of automotive communication and diagnostic technologies, such as CAN, LIN, GMLAN, serial data, U-services, RIDs, DIDs, or OBD.\n\nExperience with DFMEA, subsystem or solution FMEA, supplier DFMEA, DRBFM, design reviews, and validation\n\nExperience with low-voltage vehicle electrical systems, including 12V and/or 48V architectures, power distribution, battery systems, sensing, conversion, generation, or related interfaces.\n\nDemonstrated ability to lead complex technical issues from problem definition through root cause, corrective action, validation, and closure.\n\nExperience working across hardware, software, controls, validation, manufacturing, service, and supplier organizations.\n\nAbility to communicate technical decisions clearly to engineers, suppliers, program teams, and leadership.\n\nDemonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound engineering judgment, manage competing priorities, and influence outcomes without direct authority.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with lead-acid batteries, intelligent battery sensors, DC/AC inverters, generators, or vehicle power-management systems.\n\nExperience with requirements-managementand traceability tools such as DOORS/DNG, Jira, or comparable platforms.\n\nExperience with Model-Based Systems Engineering, SysML, Rhapsody, behavioral requirements, or Given/When/Then methods.\n\nExperience with virtual validation, simulation, co-simulation, electrical analysis, or data-driven troubleshooting.\n\nFamiliarity with functional safety, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, manufacturing, service, and design-for-quality considerations.\n\nExperience leading suppliers and coordinating technical deliverables across multiple vehicle programs.\n\nSuccess in This Role\nSuccess will be demonstrated by requirements and interfaces that are complete, traceable, testable, and aligned across the vehicle architecture; timely closure of technical and validation issues; disciplined change management; effective supplier and cross-functional execution; and robust Electric Power subsystem integration through development, release, launch, and production support.\nSPONSORSHIP: GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE.
