Staff Systems Specialist – Low Voltage Vehicle SystemsWe are seeking a Staff Systems Specialist to join the Vehicle Systems Engineering organization, focused on Low Voltage (LV) vehicle systems, supporting the new Software‑Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture and 12V system design thinking across the vehicle.This role operates in a highly complex technical space with significant cross‑domain dependencies spanning software, hardware, electrical architecture, validation, and virtual environments.Hybrid: The role is hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to Markham, Canada three times per week, at minimum.Key ResponsibilitiesLead system‑level architecture, definition, and integration of Low Voltage vehicle systems using MBSE.Decompose product and program intent into system models, functional architectures, and testable software and hardware requirements.Develop and maintain system blueprints, including functional decomposition, logical architectures, interface definitions, requirements, allocations, and FMEAs.Own and evolve MBSE artifacts, such as functional models, use‑case, activity, sequence, and context diagrams.Allocate and partition system functionality across multiple implementation teams, supporting architectural trade studies and optimization.Define and maintain co‑simulation and virtual validation strategies, including simulation architectures and acceptance criteria.Work closely with software, hardware, validation, electrical architecture, and platform teams to manage complex interdependencies and integration risks.Support system integration, calibration, validation, and issue resolution, including root cause analysis across domains.Ensure system designs meet safety, regulatory, quality, and performance requirements, supporting certification and approvals.Drive continuous improvement in MBSE adoption, modeling quality, and virtual validation capability.Clearly document technical decisions, trade‑offs,



and deliverables across the product lifecycle.Core Technical Capabilities12V electrical system architecture, including power distribution, grounding, protection, and load management.Understanding of vehicle LV networks and ECUs (body, gateway, chassis, infotainment‑adjacent, and domain controllers).Experience with fusing strategies, wake/sleep management, power modes, and energy budgeting.Knowledge of CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and diagnostics (UDS) as they relate to LV system behavior and dependencies.Familiarity with SDV concepts, including centralized compute, service‑based architectures, and decoupling software from hardware.Ability to analyze and resolve system‑level issues related to voltage stability, current limits, transient behavior, and fault propagation.Experience with system‑level FMEAs, fault handling strategies, and graceful degradation in LV systems.Understanding of integration between LV systems and higher‑voltage domains (e.G., HV interactions, wake coordination, safety states).Experience supporting system validation, including HIL/SIL, vehicle testing, and virtual validation approaches.Strong systems thinking across electrical, software, and functional domains to manage complex dependencies.Required QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Software, Mechanical, or related field).7+ years of experience in systems engineering or software‑intensive automotive development.Strong expertise in systems architecture, MBSE, requirements development, integration, and validation.Solid background in model‑based development and virtual simulation.Experience defining and managing system interfaces, performance targets,



and validation/testing strategies.Proficiency with MBSE and requirements tools (e.G., Rhapsody, DOORS / DOORS Next).Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and drive clarity.Proven track record of technical leadership, influence, and cross‑organizational collaboration.Strong prioritization, execution, and stakeholder management skills.Excellent written and verbal communication skills.Preferred QualificationsMaster’s degree in Engineering or related field.Advanced experience with MBSE, including Rhapsody modeling (activity, use‑case, sequence, context).Familiarity with Agile / SAFe development methodologies.Understanding of service‑oriented architectures (SOA).Knowledge of CI/CD and continuous testing in software‑intensive systems.Experience working in highly interdependent system architectures with multiple stakeholders.Exposure to reliability engineering, functional safety, and regulatory compliance.CompensationThe salary range for this role is $147,000 to $196,600. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.BenefitsPaid time off including vacation days, holidays, and supplemental benefits for pregnancy, parental and adoption leave.Healthcare, dental and vision perks including health care spending account and wellness incentive.Life insurance plans to cover you and your family.Company and matching contributions to a Defined Contribution Pension plan to help you save for retirement.GM Vehicle Purchase Plan for you, your family, and friends.Equal Opportunity EmployerGeneral Motors is committed to being a workplace that is not only free of unlawful discrimination, but one that genuinely fosters inclusion and belonging. We strongly believe that providing an inclusive workplace creates an environment in which our employees can thrive and develop better products for our customers.#J-18808-Ljbffr
