About the Team
Global Manufacturing IT delivers innovative technology solutions for GMs vehicle manufacturing plants worldwide. Our EOL (End of Line) development team based primarily in Dublin with additional support in the US is responsible for multiple mission-critical applications including the wiring harness tester solution.
Why Join Us
At GM we are committed to our vision of Zero Crashes Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion. We are shaping the future of mobility by advancing safety sustainability and continuous innovation.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer you will play a key role in the development and maintenance of multiple EOL applications. You will lead hardware and software development for the Low-Cost Continuity Tester (LCCT) solution evolving production firmware for ESP32-based microcontrollers to ensure reliable operations secure provisioning and seamless integration with enterprise systems. Working closely with global stakeholders and suppliers you will help bring solutions from concept to production in GM plants and approved supplier sites.
What Youll Do
Embedded Systems (LCCT/Continuity Tester):
Contribute to hardware design reviews and collaborate with internal and external teams on product iterations.
Design implement and maintain production-grade firmware in C/C for ESP32-based devices covering board bring-up drivers and feature development.
Optimize FreeRTOS-based solutions across SPI I2C UART GPIO and memory/power management for manufacturing duty cycles.
Implement secure provisioning and configuration flows (barcode-based setup APIM credentialing key exchange via serial/USB) aligned to enterprise security standards.
Develop robust Wi-Fi networking and enterprise service integration (REST message queues) with resilient error handling.
Enable observability with structured logging metrics and diagnostics; participate in on-call rotations supporting global plant operations.
Collaborate on API contracts device state models and secure endpoints; influence architecture for scalability and operability.
Ensure quality with unit/integration testing hardware-in-the-loop validation and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
Document processes propose improvements and mentor peers in embedded standards and deployment practices.
Full Stack Applications (EOL Systems):
Lead end-to-end delivery of EOL applications from requirements to production.
Develop scalable backend services using Java Spring Boot (REST APIs data persistence messaging/streaming integration).
Build and maintain Angular front-end applications (TypeScript RxJS) with responsive accessible and performant UIs.
Establish observability across services and UIs (logging metrics tracing SLOs dashboards).
Apply security best practices (OWASP OAuth2/OIDC secrets management).
Drive coding standards testing strategies and design reviews; mentor engineers and guide architecture decisions.
Collaborate with product UX and manufacturing teams to prioritize features and de-risk deployments.
Optimize CI/CD workflows (quality gates dependency scanning release patterns such as blue/green or canary).
Troubleshoot complex issues spanning embedded devices networks backend services and UIs.
Required Skills & Behaviors
6 years embedded software development (C/C on microcontrollers RTOS multithreading hardware debugging).
3 years hands-on with ESP32 and ESP-IDF (board bring-up drivers Wi-Fi NVS SPI flash OTA strategies).
6 years backend development with Java/Spring Boot (REST APIs data persistence production operations).
3 years front-end development with Angular/TypeScript/RxJS (testing accessibility performance).
Proven experience with secure device provisioning/configuration (serial/USB workflows).
Track record of delivery in manufacturing or mission-critical environments with strong diagnostics.
Experience with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines for firmware and applications.
Solid foundation in software engineering best practices agile methodologies and cross-timezone collaboration.
Strong ownership mindset across the full device and application lifecycle.
Effective collaboration across firmware backend UI platform and manufacturing teams.
Clear communicator in technical proposals design reviews and plant-facing documentation.
Continuous learner who constructively challenges the status quo with data-driven insights.
Preferred Qualifications
Expertise in device security (encryption secure boot key management secrets handling).
Familiarity with plant networks and resilient device connectivity patterns.
Experience with barcode/RFID peripherals and label/receipt printing.
Exposure to event-driven systems and real-time data processing (Kafka MQTT).
Knowledge of IoT wireless technologies (LoRaWAN RFID BLE).
Experience with containerization/orchestration (Docker Kubernetes).
Background in automated testing frameworks and BDD approaches.
Work Location & Schedule
Primary Locations: Dublin or Limerick Ireland
Hybrid: Minimum three days onsite per week
Business hours aligned with EU/US time zones; occasional weekend/holiday support for deployments (shared within the team).
