Engineering Group Leader– Software Integration

The Team:

TheMSP organizationis responsible forbuilding andoperatingthecommon mechatronic software platformthat underpins GMs SDV strategy. MSP provides reusable infrastructure integration patterns and tooling for mechatronic ECUs so feature and application teams can deliver value quickly and safely across programs.

TheEngineering Group Leader Software IntegrationforMSPleads a team of engineers responsible forendtoend software integration build and initial validationfor key mechatronic controllers within GMsSoftware Defined Vehicle (SDV)stack. This leader deeplyunderstands customer and stakeholder needs balancesspeed and quality and drives aserviceoriented culturethatfocusesintegration work on enabling others to succeed.

They owncontent and timing for integrated software releases ensurestable baselines and driveengineering excellenceacross integration workflows tooling and processes. The EGL creates aninclusive highperforming team culture develops talentdrives alignment and clear direction challenges the status quo to find better ways of working and aligns integration execution withMSPs missionand vehicle programobjectives.

Quality Validation and Issue Management

• Define andmaintainintegrationlevel verification and validation strategies in partnership with test and validation organizations (e.g. ITCGs).
• Ensuredefect triage and resolutionprocesses are effective and transparent; drive resolution of integrationblocking issues andsystemic quality problems.
• Use data to improve quality and flow (e.g.defect trends build break rates rework) and drive corrective actions with impacted teams.
• Balancespeed and qualityby makingtimelytradeoff decisions using available data known inputs and sound judgment todetermineand operationalize next steps.

CrossFunctional Collaboration & Communication

• Serve as theprimary integration point of contactfor partner teams (programscalibration and releaseengineering validation).
• Communicateclear concise status and riskto leadership and stakeholders including build health content readinessmajor issues and mitigation plans.
• Negotiate priorities and tradeoffs across multiple vehicle programs whilemaintainingfocus onenterprise integration health.
• Ensurecustomer and stakeholder needsare understood and reflected in integration priorities revisiting them asnew informationbecomes available.

Process Improvement & Strategy

• Identifyand drivecontinuous improvementin integration and release processes (e.g. automation standard work lean improvements).
• Contribute to thelongterm integration strategyfor MSP/SDV including adoption of new tools architectural changes affecting integration and evolution of ways of working.
• Capture and scalebest practices and lessons learnedacross ECUs programs and partner teams andfind the way forwardin uncertainty by reassessing plans and pivoting when needed.
