Engineering Group Manager- Advanced Vehicle Development Electrical Integration

Why Join General Motors

Join the team shaping the platform behind GM’s next generation of software-defined vehicles. Vehicle Software & Electronics Platform Engineering connects electrical architecture, embedded systems, CI/CD, virtualization, and test infrastructure to help turn complex vehicle content into scalable, launch-ready products. This role is pivotal in ensuring electronics integration becomes a core consideration in vehicle architecture, not an afterthought. At GM, you will have the opportunity to lead at the center of vehicle innovation, influence how software and electronics come together physically across our global lineup, and build the capabilities that will enable faster, safer, smarter, and more cost-efficient vehicles.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced, visionary leader to head the Electrical Integration Engineering Organization. In this role, you will own the global strategy for numerical optimization tools that define innovative and optimized physical integration of electronics across GM’s global vehicle portfolio. This leader thinks beyond traditional physical part packaging, using modeling, optimization, and data to redefine how electrical and electronics systems are physically realized - bridging advanced analytical methods with real-world vehicle execution to translate complex trade-offs into clear, data-driven decisions that improve cost, performance, and development velocity at scale. This role directly shapes platform-level architecture decisions, compounding value across programs and scaling across the portfolio, improving both engineering efficiency and product competitiveness.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or other relevant discipline.
• 8+ years of engineering experience in a technical environment with strong analytical capabilities.
• Proven leadership experience in vehicle execution and total vehicle physical packaging, including experience using computer aided drafting software.
• Experience leading tool development.
• Experience with post-crash electrical integrity requirements, assembly sequencing optimization, module flashing, and network design and balancing.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Able to pull together total enterprise solutions and recommendations for programs.

Personal Attributes/Leadership

• A leader who turns advanced electrical architecture analysis into scalable, real-world vehicle decisions that raise performance, cut cost, and accelerate development.
• Makes people and things around them better, regardless of direct or indirect responsibility, and leaves behind sustainable improvements that endure over time.
• Empowers themself and their team members, seeks accountability, handles tough situations well, steps up in uncertainty, and makes timely and reversible decisions based on incomplete information.
