Senior Software Developer– AI Enablement

Job Description

The Team:

The CoSim Infrastructure, Quality, and Scalability team, within GM’s Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, builds the foundational software, automation, and integration capabilities that make virtual ECUs and co-simulation environments reliable, reusable, and scalable across vehicle domains.

The team develops and evolves CoSim/SIL infrastructure—including SoftECU and FMI-based capabilities, RestBus and SIMETH connectivity, HWIO and calibration enablement, build and CI/CD pipelines, and automated quality gates—while improving package consistency, test coverage, observability, and defect triage.

Their work enables engineering, calibration, and verification teams to validate embedded-platform software earlier and with greater confidence, supporting daily regression testing as well as complex, multi-variant, multi-domain virtual validation. Within the broader Virtualization and SIL Integration organization, the team collaborates closely with domain teams to deliver high-fidelity virtual environments and advance GM’s software-defined vehicle development process.

The Role:

As a Senior Software Developer, you will build the software that powers GM’s virtual development environments, SIL workflows, and AI‑enhanced simulation capabilities. You bring strengths in automation, embedded systems, and problem‑solving — and this role expands your exposure to cloud, data, ML fundamentals, and large‑scale simulation architecture.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

• Develop backend services supporting virtual ECUs, simulation orchestration, and model execution.

• Build tools for SIL workflows including scenario execution, data capture, and automation.

• Integrate AI/ML components into simulation or validation pipelines.

• Design APIs for simulation control, artifact management, and orchestration.

• Optimize performance for compute‑intensive workloads.

• Collaborate with DevOps and simulation teams to ensure seamless integration.

• Contribute to CI/CD workflows for simulation and AI components.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

• 7+ years of relevant experience in software development, simulation, or embedded systems.

• Strong programming skills in Python, C++, C#, or Java.

• Experience with simulation or virtualization (vECUs, FMUs, SIL).

• Understanding of cloud services and distributed systems.

• Experience with CLI-based architecture for tools design.

• Knowledge of MCP-based architecture for AI tools design.

• Experience with databases for simulation metadata and results.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Optional AI skills: ML lifecycle basics, Vector search or embeddings, and model integration.

• Experience with microservices for simulation orchestration.

• Knowledge of Kubernetes for running compute workloads.

• Performance tuning expertise for simulation or AI pipelines.

• Experience with automotive data and domain modeling.

• Experience with ontology-based engineering processes and architecture frameworks.

• Advanced knowledge of ontology technologies and ontology design patterns (Owl, RDF, SPARQL, Automated reasoning).
