Job Description

• Overview General Motors is seeking a highly motivated Calibration Engineer
• Virtual Capability & Automation Specialist to advance the development of virtual capabilities that accelerate and optimize EV propulsion calibration. This role focuses on building scalable simulation environments, automation tools, and data workflows that reduce development time, improve model accuracy, and enable efficient calibration through virtual-first methods.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy virtual calibration models, tools, and environments using simulation platforms such as MATLAB/Simulink, Co-Simulation frameworks, and related technologies.

• Create and maintain automation workflows for calibration execution, data processing, and report generation using Python, C++, or similar programming languages.

• Integrate virtual calibration solutions with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) systems to support end-to-end validation.

• Partner with propulsion calibration teams to identify process inefficiencies and implement virtual and automated solutions that improve speed, quality, and repeatability.

• Analyze simulation and vehicle test data to validate models and refine calibration strategies.

• Document tools, workflows, and best practices to support scalable adoption across teams.

• Provide training and technical support to engineers using virtual calibration and automation tools.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to define requirements and roadmap enhancements for future virtual capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

• 3+ years' experience with object-oriented programming (Python, C++, Java, or similar) for tool or workflow development.

• Working knowledge of vehicle propulsion systems, controls, and/or vehicle dynamics.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex challenges into scalable technical solutions.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

• Effective communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with EV or electrified propulsion calibration, particularly using virtual or model-based methods.

• Demonstrated experience developing automation for engineering or data analysis workflows.

• Familiarity with HIL/SIL testing and model validation processes.

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.

This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.
