Technical Specialist--Mechatronic Hardware Control Module (High Voltage and Chassis domains)

GM•Warren, MI

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Role Technical Specialist is focused on electrification-based Vehicle Interface & Battery Energy control modules (VICM/BECM) and a second role is offered in the Chassis Suspension domain. Both will be the global voice for technical expertise for these components and/or subsystems. You’ll establish and maintain a clear strategy for the VICM/BECM and Chassis controllers and ensure reuse and technical excellence of engineering solutions and components. You’ll work with the key stakeholders from execution, performance, and support teams to ensure common implementation of strategy and to promote technical knowledge for the components. We are seeking Engineers with demonstrated technical skills to develop winning/robust BOM strategies, oversee solutions, escalate issues, and deliver continuous improvement for the Vehicle Interface & Battery Energy control modules (VICM/BECM) and Chassis Suspension control modules. Lead the controller technical review process to assure compliance with global requirements Lead in the development of an Inhouse Designed Controller. You will need to interface across the Compute & Connectivity Hardware as well as the Battery Electronics Advanced Propulsion & Chassis Underbody Teams Maintain and refresh BOM Strategies Intimate knowledge of hardware and software interfaces Deliver BOM which meets Imperatives (Cost, Mass, Investment, Quality) Develop Sourcing Strategies. Support Supplier Development and Qualification (TASL) Maintain Global requirements (SSTS & CTRS Templates, etc.) Create and Maintain Best Practices and Inherent Criteria Approve BOM Picks and assure math data availability Support PRTS Issue Resolution Perform/lead read across for Safety Tether PRTS Perform/lead read across for NHTSA recalls of competitors Support Product Investigations (SFI Process) Support Cost Reduction Create ICDe and ICDm Templates Support CR/DNs Provide technical leadership for troubleshooting activities Leads technical support to manufacturing engineering and production facilities Support global supplier evaluation and localization process Lead new designs/major redesigns as technical experts to ensure success, and monitor global BOD/BOM/BOP compatibility Lead the controller technical review process to assure compliance with global requirements Provide technical guidance for current development or production issues. Participate as a co-leader in the Controller Hardware CCB HW Subject Matter Expert to support software, calibration, and integration issues Support ATW/workgroups for regulations updates. Act as the hardware voice related to new functionality to meet emissions upgrades.
