Controller Modelling Developer – Virtual ECU Prototyping

Job Description 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 RoleThe 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 doCreate SystemC TLM2.0 models of microcontrollers, asics, drivers, modules, switches, timers, transceivers, etc.Integrate microcontroller and peripheral models into full Level 4 virtual ECUsDebug model and integration bugs and issuesWork cross-functionally with Design Release Engineers, Tier 1 suppliers, and software engineers to develop vECUsIntegrate production software into vECUsValidate and verify vECU functions as expected and executes production software as intendedCollaborate with software developers to root cause and solve low-level, basic software and application software issues found in the virtual environmentDebug integrated production software as neededDevelop script-based engineering workarounds to bridge virtual model limitation gapsWork cross-functionally with Simulation Integration Engineers to support the integration of vECUs into virtual environmentsYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)Minimum 5+ years of relevant professional engineering experienceProficiency in SystemC, Transaction Level Modeling (TLM 2.0), and SCMLExpertise in creating Level 4 VECU prototypesProficiency in off the shelf EDA toolchains such as Synopsys Virtualizer and ASTC vLABExpertise in various programming languages (C, C++, Python)Expertise in low-level input/output driver development and debuggingKnowledge of electronic control modules and embedded control systemsKnowledge of ARM based microcontrollersSoftware integration, compiler and linker file comprehension expertiseKnowledge of AUTOSAR and Automotive Cyber SecurityKnowledge in automotive communications (e.g. CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART)Co-Simulation expertise of Level 4 VECUsExpertise in the use of software debugging tools (Lauterbach, Green Hills Multi IDE, etc.)Expertise in Intrepid Vehicle Spy, Vector CANoeExcellent communication skillsDemonstrated success in leading challenging projects with high levels of ambiguity to completionConsistent demonstration of GM leadership behavioral competenciesHW architecture/micro-architecture experience.What Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or Computer Science or similar field.Knowledge of software test automationExpertise in software tools development Software tools development expertiseEmbedded control system design expertiseProduction vehicle program execution experienceDevelopment experience in both Windows and Linux environmentsFamiliarity with software development build process and associated tools (e.g. Gerrit, Jenkins, Git, etc.)Familiarity with scalable simulation deployment methodologies leveraging containers (e.g. Docker, Singularity, etc.)Familiarity with synchronous and asynchronous event driven simulationBenefits OverviewThe goal of the General Motors of Canada total rewards program is to support the health and well-being of you and your family.
