About The Role 

Our vehicle communication team is hiring a software engineer to design and develop software in our Linux-based networking system.  You'll be part of a team working to ship the world’s most reliable connectivity. 


What You'll Do 

GM is developing a  breakthrough new system  for vehicle software and communications, and you'll be at the heart of it.  We design our own hardware, so you'll work closely with hardware teams to meet the tough power and reliability requirements of vehicles.   You'll also work closely with our application and cloud teams to ensure end-to-end reliability and performance.  


Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications) 

  • This is a networking role, so you should know networking fundamentals like TCP/IP and how the whole network stack works - from drivers through applications.   

  • You should also understand application-level protocols like HTTP (and how application developers use those protocols).   

  • You know how to triage complicated system-wide issues in a team.   

  • Our operating systems are Linux, Android, and QNX - you should know how networking operates on at least one of these platforms. 

  • Most of our code is written in C, C++, and Java, so we expect you know at least one of these languages well.   

  • BS/MS/PhD in computer science or electrical engineering (or equivalent experience) 

  • 5+ years software development experience  


What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)​    

  • Knowing WiFi, LTE, 5G, Bluetooth and/or UWB is great.  (If you don't know those things, you will if you work here!)   

  • Vehicles are "data centers on wheels," so physical connectivity is important.   

  • If you've used a packet sniffer or protocol analyzer, you’re a great fit for us. 

  • Demonstrated experience with methods for shipping highly-reliable software (such as telemetry/observability) is useful 

  • We value writing and collaboration skills – they’re key to good system design 

Compensation: 

The salary range for this role is $147000 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.

GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP NOW OR IN THE FUTURE

Benefits:

  • Paid time off including vacation days, holidays, and supplemental benefits for pregnancy, parental and adoption leave.
