The Data

Engineering organization at General Motors Canada is developing a unified, scalable Vehicle Logging Architecture to enable consistent, secure, and high‑fidelity logging from vehicle ECUs to the cloud. We’re seeking a Staff Embedded Logging Software Developer to design and integrate embedded logging pipelines across diverse in‑vehicle platforms, ensuring cohesive interaction between the control plane (configuration, arbitration, lifecycle) and the data plane (streaming telemetry and file‑based transfer). The ideal candidate brings deep embedded expertise in C/C++ and Android, a track record of delivering solutions across Android Automotive, Linux, and QNX, and hands‑on experience scaling log data flows from ECU to cloud while meeting strict reliability, performance, and security requirements.

Define and implement Platform Log Client behaviors across Android, Linux, and QNX. Manage volatile buffers and persistent storage (log files and packages), including rotation, compression, retention, and quotas. Support vehicle‑local data access mechanisms (e.g., Build/extend a Log Control Interface Library to handle configuration retrieval, validation,



arbitration (including TTL for local overrides), and persistence/fallback to last‑known‑good.

Implement interactions between vehicle log control logic, platform clients, and configuration providers. Define API contracts for configuration updates, log control, and create/upload package triggers; align with in‑vehicle UX/HMI flows.

Data Plane Integration

Reliability, Performance & Security Implement runtime controls to enable/disable logging subsystems locally and remotely Ensure compliance with cybersecurity and data‑protection requirements for both local and remote access to log settings and log data. Produce clear design documents, configuration guides, and support operational runbooks. Collaborate closely with embedded platform teams, observability/data engineering, product, and validation to deliver end‑to‑end data flows from ECU to cloud.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. ~8+ years in embedded software development or systems engineering across Android, Linux, and/or QNX. ~ Strong coding proficiency in C/C++ and Android Java with experience in platform‑level integrations. ~ Demonstrated experience integrating with control plane services (configuration retrieval, arbitration, persistence/fallback)



and data plane pipelines (streaming and file‑based transfer). ~ file rotation/compression, retention, and storage quotas. ~ Android logs, QNX slogger2, Linux journal/syslog) and buffer/file management at scale. ~ Experience designing metrics/telemetry for operational visibility and remote control at fleet scale. ~ Clear, concise technical communication; Knowledge of automotive cybersecurity controls and data‑protection processes. Exposure to OpenTelemetry, protobuf/gRPC, or similar observability/data‑plane technologies.
