Vacancy Status:
This posting is for an existing vacancy within the organization and is open to new applications.
AI Disclosure:
As part of the application process Artificial Intelligence will be used in the hiring process for this role
Work Arrangement: Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham or Oshawa office three times per week at minimum.
The Role
The Staff System Architect Chassis Systems provides technical leadership for chassis motion control (braking steering suspension vehicle dynamics) and acts as a domainagnostic architect for GMs virtual integration stack. You will define and evolve endtoend architectures across embedded ECUs and SIL/CoSim environments creating reusable patterns integrating services and models and ensuring highquality execution across programs and domains.
What Youll Do (Responsibilities)
Lead endtoend architecture for chassis motion control systems across embedded and virtual platforms including interfaces and ownership boundaries between domain ECUs infra vECUs and plant models.
Define reusable domainagnostic SIL/CoSim architecture patterns and infrastructure services orchestrating plant models behavioral ECUs infra vECUs activation flows diagnostics and supplier assets into cohesive testable systems.
Own SnA and systemphysics plantmodel infrastructure for L3 CoSim; integrate models into CI/CD (packaging versioning automated checks) and drive standardization for reuse across domains.
Own service/profile activation infrastructure and infra vECUs for SDV services across domains; ensure NPCR and activation flows work reliably in CoSim/SOLE and are supported by tools and pipelines for current and future programs.
Own integration of supplier assets (FMUs vECUs C11 libraries AUTOSAR components) into CoSim and controllers; define requirements/checklists align interfaces with RestBus/ICDe/GMBSW and establish minimal acceptance tests and CI/CD integration patterns.
Improve CoSim SIL/HIL and embedded development processes (requirements traceability quality gates) and lead adoption of architectural patterns modeling guidelines and release processes for virtual assets.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship; drive crossfunctional roadmaps and alignment with CoSim Architecture Package/Variant Pipeline & Execution Diagnostics/NVM calibration DREs suppliers and program teams.
Support program execution for chassis systems in CoSim/SIL/HIL and invehicle; apply advanced control optimization and modeling methods and contribute to IP through novel architectures and solutions.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
10 years in control systems/software development and/or technical leadership with strong emphasis on chassis and vehicle dynamics controls.
Indepth knowledge of chassis control and vehicle dynamics (braking steering suspension stability) and calibration to meet objective and subjective performance targets.
Strong control systems background applied to embedded systems (e.g. state feedback adaptive model predictive control).
Productiongrade embedded software experience using C/C and modelbased development (MATLAB/Simulink code generation) to GM standards.
Solid understanding of AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive) ECU layering and GMBSW integration patterns.
Strong experience with CoSim/SIL/HIL and vECU design/integration (e.g. dSPACE VEOS ETAS vECUBuilder) plus plant modeling (Simulink/Modelica or equivalent) and CI/CD practices.
Strong understanding of SDV service activation concepts NPCR and infra vECU responsibilities in CoSim/SOLE.
Handson experience with FMUs/FMI and supplier asset integration including C11/C libraries Ethernet/osa integration and VeSCoM/SDV cadence and program gates.
Experience with vehicle dynamics modeling/simulation tools (e.g. CarSim) and vehicle communication/measurement tools (e.g. Vehicle SPY INCA CANalyzer).
Strong analytical and problemsolving skills; proactive resultsdriven able to work independently and in global crossfunctional teams with excellent written and verbal communication.
Ability to travel as needed to test sites and partner locations (e.g. Michigan and other global sites).
What Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
. or Ph.D. in Control Systems Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field.
Experience with advanced statistics signal processing optimization system identification and state estimation for vehicle/chassis systems.
Experience with automotive product release/specification processes and integrating virtual assets (FMUs vECUs) with program gates.
Demonstrated leadership in defining virtual integration strategies (plant models activation vECUs supplier assets) architectural guidelines and playbooks across domains and teams; strong presentation and influence skills at staff/architect level.
