Senior Calibration Specialist – SDV

Job Description

Work Classification:

Hybrid: The successful candidate is expected to report to Milford MI three times per week at minimum or as dictated by the business.

The Team:

The SDV Infrastructure Calibration Organization owns the delivery of foundational infrastructure calibrations across GM. We ensure platforms domains and software systems have the calibration content required to support safe intelligent and reliable operation across development integration validation and production environments.

Within that space processor microcontroller and memory calibrations are a critical technical domain. These calibrations influence low-level system behavior diagnostic monitoring fault handling performance and platform stability. The team works across calibration embedded software diagnostics HWIO safety and validation to ensure these calibrations are understood applied correctly and improved over time.

We are also driving a more modern approach to infrastructure calibration by using automation AI-assisted analysis and scalable workflows to reduce manual work improve repeatability and strengthen technical rigor across the SDV ecosystem.

The Role:

We are looking for an SDV Infrastructure Calibration Specialist focused on Processor Microcontroller and Memory calibrations. This role will serve as a deep technical owner for micro-related infrastructure calibrations with responsibility for understanding how the calibrations function where they apply how they should be tuned and how they should evolve across programs and microcontroller contexts.

This person will become a key subject matter expert across MCU0 MCU1 MCU2 and MCU3 developing strong command of calibration intent dependencies constraints and expected behavior. The role requires deep learning systems thinking strong technical judgment and the ability to work across safety software diagnostics validation and calibration teams to improve both calibration quality and calibration execution.

What Youll Do:

• Own the technical understanding execution and continuous improvement of processor microcontroller and memory-related infrastructure calibrations

• Build strong working knowledge across MCU0 MCU1 MCU2 and MCU3 and develop guidance that drives consistency in how microcontroller calibrations are applied and managed

• Perform deep dives into calibration guides requirements design intent and technical documentation to understand what calibrations do why they exist and where they apply

• Analyze calibration behavior dependencies constraints anomalies and program applicability across vehicle bench and CoSim environments

• Learn the HWIO layer and related low-level software behavior to understand how processor and microcontroller systems must be tuned to support correct operation performance and stability

• Review calibration and validation test data interpret technical results and recommend sound calibration adjustments when needed

• Work through calibration decisions with safety and cross-functional stakeholders balancing technical intent system requirements constraints and program needs

• Break complex calibration behavior into understandable functional components identify root causes and support anomaly correction when issues are discovered

• Serve as the single source of truth for micro calibrations including calibration purpose parameter usage known issues program differences and operating guidance

• Use AI tools scripting structured analysis and automation to determine how calibrations operate uncover patterns and relationships and accelerate technical work

• Create tools workflows and automations that support calibrators improve repeatability and reduce manual effort across the micro calibration domain

• Challenge unnecessary complexity by asking why parameters exist in the first place and identifying opportunities to eliminate simplify standardize or automate calibrations where appropriate

• Help establish stronger best practices clearer guidance and more scalable operating methods across the processor microcontroller and memory calibration space

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

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

• 5 years of experience in calibration embedded software infrastructure software diagnostics microcontroller systems or related automotive technical work

• Strong technical curiosity and ability to learn complex processor microcontroller memory and infrastructure calibration behavior in depth

• Experience interpreting technical requirements design documentation calibration guides or system behavior to determine correct application of calibration content

• Familiarity with embedded systems low-level software interactions diagnostics and microcontroller-based architectures

• Ability to analyze complex technical systems compare variants and behaviors and identify patterns deltas dependencies and root causes

• Experience reviewing validation or test data and using sound engineering judgment to support technical adjustments and issue resolution

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage technical complexity without losing clarity or discipline

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across calibration software safety validation and stakeholder teams

• Ability to work independently build subject matter expertise and drive execution in a fast-paced environment

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Masters degree in engineering computer science or a related technical field

• 8 years of experience in infrastructure calibration embedded systems diagnostics or SDV-related software environments

• Experience with processor integrity memory integrity microcontroller monitoring diagnostic calibration or related low-level infrastructure domains

• Familiarity with HWIO low-level software interfaces communication stacks or diagnostic frameworks relevant to microcontroller behavior

• Experience using Python scripting AI-assisted analysis or automation tools to improve calibration understanding execution or workflow efficiency

• Experience supporting calibration consistency across multiple controllers programs or variant environments

• Experience working with safety teams or balancing calibration decisions against technical and system-level safety requirements

• Experience creating technical guidance best practices or automation workflows that improve calibration quality standardization and scalability

• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to become the go-to technical expert in a complex and evolving domain
