ART Lead Virtualization and SIL Integration

About The Role:

General Motors is undergoing a major transformation in how we engineer andvalidatesoftware-defined vehicles (SDV) investing heavily in virtual test environments and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) capabilities to support our vision of ZERO Crashes ZERO Emissions and ZERO Congestion.

As the Agile Release Train (ART) Lead Virtualization and SIL Integration you will lead the SIL ART responsible for delivering virtual test environments co-simulation assets and supporting services used to develop verify and validate embedded controllers and calibrations across domains such as propulsion battery management chassis/brakes and body controls.

You will act as a servant leader and coach for the ART ensuring flow of value strong cross-team coordination and disciplined execution ofSAFe/Agile practices with a particular focus on Jira hygiene metrics and cross-scrum alignment.

Key Responsibilities

ART Leadership & Execution

• Lead the Virtualization and SIL Integration ART aligning teams to program vision roadmap and value streams.

• Facilitate Program Increment (PI) planning including preparation execution and follow-up onobjectives risks and dependencies.

• Ensure consistentiterationcadence and ceremonies across scrums (planning daily stand-ups reviews retrospectives).

• Monitor and drive predictable delivery against ART commitments using flow and quality metrics to enable continuous improvement.

• Foster a culture of relentless improvement transparency and collaboration across all teamsinthe train.

Scrum of Scrums & Cross-Team Coordination

• Facilitate and continuously improve the Scrum of Scrums for SIL teams ensuring effective synchronization across multiple scrums.

• Surface and drive resolution of cross-team impediments risks and dependencies (technical tooling and organizational).

• Partner with Product Management System Architects and Engineering leaders to align priorities sequencing and scope across the ART.

SILART Jira Hygiene (Features Needs Defects)

• Own SILART Jira hygiene standards and practices:

• Ensure consistent use of Features Needs and Defects across teams.

• Maintain clear status ownership acceptance criteria and traceability.

• Support consistent use of Jira structures (epics features stories sub-tasks) alignedtoSAFe.

• Establish andmonitordashboards and metrics (throughput cycle time aging WIP defect trends) to support data-driven decision-making.

• Coach Scrum Masters POs and teams on best practices in Jira usage and workflow design to support flow.

Iteration Planning Review & Backlog Management

• Coordinate iteration planning and reviews across scrums to ensure alignment to ARTobjectivesand milestones.

• Partner with Product Manager(s)ScrumManagerss and System Architects to:

• Refine and prioritize the ART backlog aligning to SDV and Virtualization roadmap.

• Ensure stories and enablers are well-defined sized and ready prior to iteration planning.

• Connect technical enablers (e.g. new co-simulation modelsvECUintegration CI/CDand virtualization infrastructure) to clear value outcomes.

• Ensure backlog transparency to stakeholders and leadership.

ART Sync / Front Door Management

• Run a regular ART Sync / Front Door forum that:

• Serves as the intake mechanism for new work requests and change in priorities.

• Triages and routes requests to the right backlog (Feature Need Defect) and team.

• Identifiesand manages dependencies with other ARTs and programs (e.g. SDV platform plant model providers calibration teams).

• Maintain clear visibility of upcoming work capacity constraints and key milestones for stakeholders.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Provide regular status updates to leadership and stakeholders on ART health risks and delivery againstobjectives.

• Collaborate with global partners and internal customersleveragingvirtual test environments ensuring customer-centric prioritization.

• Champion Virtualization and SIL Integration asa key enablerfor efficient software development verification and validation.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Systems Engineering or related technical field.

• Experience (typically 5 years) in software or systems development in complex multi-team environments;

• 3 years as an RTE/ART Lead Scrum Master Delivery Lead or similar agile leadership role.

• Strong practical experience with Agile and/orSAFeframeworks including:

• Leading PI planning and ART-level ceremonies.

• FacilitatingScrum of Scrumsand cross-team synchronization.

• Hands-on experience with Jira (or comparable tooling) for:

• Features/epics stories and defect management.

• Workflow configuration dashboards and reporting.

• Familiarity with virtualization simulation or embedded systems development such as:

• Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) plant models or virtual ECUs.

• Understanding ofhow virtual test environments support development verification and validation of embedded controllers and calibrations.

• Demonstrated servant leadership coaching and facilitation skills.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work across disciplines and locations.

What Can Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• SAFecertifications (e.g.SAFeRTE SA SPC SASM) or equivalent agile leadership credentials.

• Experience leading ARTs or programs in:

• Automotive aerospace or othersafety-/mission-critical domains.

• Software-defined vehicle (SDV) embedded controls or model-based development environments.

• Experience with one or more of:

• Co-simulation environments (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink FMU/FMI-based models).

• Virtual test environments virtualization infrastructure or CI/CD forsimulationpipelines.

• Data and visualization tools (e.g. Power BI SQL or similar) for building agile and flowmetricsdashboards.

• Python or ScriptingexperienceforData acquisition and analysis.

• Proventrack recordin:

• Establishing or maturing Jira hygiene and standards across multiple teams.

• Using metrics to drive continuous improvement in predictability quality and flow.

• Managing complex dependencies across ARTs suppliers and partner organizations.
