Senior Embedded Controls Software Engineer - Suspension

VMEC Chassis Controls is building next-generation suspension control systems from the ground up, bringing key capabilities in-house for the first time.

We're looking for Senior Embedded Controls Software Engineers who want to be part of that from day one: writing hand-coded C, owning software end to end, and directly shaping how these systems perform across GM's vehicle portfolio.

This team operates with a startup mindset inside GM: fast-moving, highly collaborative, and comfortable working through ambiguity.

The ideal candidate writes high-quality production embedded software, thrives in that environment, and is motivated by building something new.

This role offers strong growth opportunities and long-term impact as the team matures and scales.

What you’ll Do:

Design, implement, and test embedded control software using hand-coded C (non-model-based, non-scripted)

Own software from architecture through implementation, testing, and release

Build and maintain robust unit and integration tests with strong traceability

Drive software quality, including maintainability, robustness, and MISRA compliance

Contribute to Agile development (story breakdown, reviews, demos, retrospectives)

Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues

Influence technical decisions and drive continuous improvement

Mentor team members and promote best practices

Strong, current hands-on experience writing production code in C (non-scripting, non-model-based)

Ability to design, implement, and debug embedded software directly in C is required

Experience only interpreting auto-generated code (e.g., from MATLAB/Simulink) is not sufficient

5+ years of embedded software development experience

Experience with embedded systems testing (unit and integration)

Working knowledge of C++ and/or Python

Experience with version control (Git) and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira)
