The successful candidate will lead a major capability across multiple teams, influence technical direction beyond their immediate organization, and connect software, tooling, infrastructure, test, and release activities into a coherent engineering system.

**What You'll Do: **

Be a critical leader of software engineering productivity and effectiveness.
Identify opportunities, strategies, process improvements, and lead the change.
Be hands-on by leading high impact efforts.
Be a strong communicator, coach, and mentor.
Analyze unusual and difficult problems effectively.
Ability to connect multiple initiatives together to deliver higher value.
Visualize required innovation, learning and simplification in this space and transition the team to execute what is required to achieve.
Maintain command skills and empathy at the same time
Architect enterprise‑scale CI/CD systems for embedded, simulation, and cloud workloads.
Define branching, release, and quality‑gate standards across multiple engineering domains.
Design GitOps‑based delivery for multi‑cluster Kubernetes environments.
Lead progressive delivery strategy including automated rollback and analysis.
Establish IaC architecture using Terraform modules and multi‑environment patterns.
Integrate security and compliance into pipelines and artifact flows.
Define observability standards for pipelines, simulation workloads, and runtime systems.
Mentor DevOps and simulation developers across the organization.

Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Demonstrated ability to work in an action-oriented decision-making environment.
Deep Kubernetes knowledge including cluster operations.
Strong Terraform/IaC experience with production‑grade module design.
Experience with embedded or simulation workflows (vECUs, SIL, FMU, SSP).
Cloud architecture experience across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

Master's degree in software engineering or equivalent experience
15+ years of experience in software development .
Experience in automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, or another embedded, real-time, regulated, or safety-critical environment.
Knowledge of functional safety, ISO 26262, cybersecurity engineering, ASPICE, MISRA, AUTOSAR, or related engineering practices.
Experience with vehicle-level integration and validation, including SIL, CoSIM, vECU, HIL, benches, physical systems, or other virtual and hardware-based environments.
A record of creating enterprise standards, platform strategies, technical communities, developer self-service, reliability objectives, or measurable productivity improvements.
Advanced degree in a related technical field.

Company Vehicle:

Upon successful completion of a motor vehicle report review, you will be eligible to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program, though which you will be assigned a General Motors vehicle to drive and evaluate.
