Senior Software Engineer, Embedded Radio Software And Connectivity
General Motors is seeking a highly skilled and experienced professional to join our team as a Senior Software Engineer, Embedded Radio Software and Connectivity. As a global leader in the automotive industry, General Motors is committed to delivering high-quality vehicles that exceed customer expectations. This role will be instrumental in the bring-up of next-generation automotive computing platforms, focusing on Linux kernel development, radio and connectivity protocols, low-level system integration, diagnostics, and health monitoring for our in-vehicle infotainment and embedded radio systems. What You'll Do
Develop and enhance Linux kernel and device drivers, including those for multimedia subsystems and networking (WLAN, LAN, BLE, BT5.0). Lead system bring-up activities, including bootloader configuration, board support package (BSP) development, and low-level debugging. Integrate and optimize hardware components, including USB, PCIe, I2C-connected peripherals, and Ethernet interfaces to ensure seamless operation within our embedded software stack. Develop and implement diagnostics and health monitoring solutions, ensuring system reliability, predictive maintenance, and fault detection in critical automotive systems. Analyze and troubleshoot low-level system issues, particularly in high-speed data buses and network connectivity. Support manufacturing and production processes, including hardware validation, firmware flashing, and end-of-line testing to ensure smooth integration of software into production vehicles. Work closely with hardware teams to validate and debug platform issues, ensuring optimal hardware-software interaction. Define Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and work towards continuously improving software stability, performance, and maintainability. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Advanced degree preferred. 3+ years of experience in embedded Linux kernel development, device driver programming, and board bring-up. Experience in working with different connected system bring-up like BLE, UWB. Strong experience with BSP development, bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), custom boot policies and firmware integration. Deep knowledge of communication protocols such as UART, PCIe, I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet. Experience with Ethernet interfaces (WLAN, LAN), network protocols, and peripheral devices (GNSS, RTC). Expertise in embedded RTOS (Linux, QNX, FreeRTOS, OSEX, etc.) kernel internals, including memory management, scheduling, file systems, and IPC mechanisms. Proficiency in diagnostics, health monitoring, and fault detection for embedded systems. Familiarity with manufacturing and production support and diagnostics, including hardware validation, firmware flashing, and end-of-line testing. Proficiency in low-level debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, GDB, ftrace, kdump, perf). Experience with SoC architectures (NXP, Qualcomm) and hardware interaction at the register level. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex system issues across software and hardware domains. Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. About GM
