À propos
As a developer in Virtual Test Platforms, you will help shape the approach, and methods for using virtual test techniques at GM while also making significant contributions to the engineering system codebase. You will provide feedback, and assistance to your teammates helping everyone to achieve more. You will be expected to grow into a subject matter expert in virtualized testing of distributed embedded systems and share that knowledge with others. In short, you will help to improve the state of the art in virtual test of hardware and software at GM.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the technical strategy, architecture, and delivery of Virtual Tooling, emulator capabilities, simulation components, and supporting infrastructure used across multiple engineering organizations.
Own highly complex, ambiguous problem spaces and translate them into scalable technical direction, pragmatic roadmaps, system designs, and production-quality implementations.
Define and drive reusable frameworks, reference implementations, and platform services that materially improve developer productivity, test coverage, reliability, and time to feedback.
Drive adoption of virtual test capabilities across developer inner-loop workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and large-scale automated validation systems through both technical execution and cross-functional influence.
Partner with product managers, technical leaders, SREs, and customer engineering teams to align priorities, remove adoption barriers, and deliver capabilities with measurable engineering impact.
Set and uphold a high bar for software design, testing, observability, performance, maintainability, security, and operational readiness across the platform.
Lead technical investigations and root-cause analysis for difficult platform, scaling, fidelity, or integration issues spanning software, infrastructure, and test environments.
Mentor and grow engineers across levels through design reviews, technical guidance, coaching, and example-setting; help strengthen domain expertise and engineering judgment across the team.
Influence technical direction across organizational boundaries by identifying strategic gaps, proposing investments, and building alignment on long-term platform priorities.
Contribute hands‑on code, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts in high-risk, foundational, or fast-moving areas where senior technical judgment is critical.
Create clear technical documentation, guidance, and best practices that enable broad, sustainable adoption and consistent engineering execution across the community.
Configure and customize virtual test environments including KVM, QEMU, and Android Emulators, and make these environments widely available using cloud services.
Help product teams integrate the virtual test environments into their developer inner-loop and CI/CD processes.
Author virtual devices to enhance virtual test coverage and fidelity including VirtIO Drivers.
Implement other custom test tools and simulators to enable higher test throughput and achieve quality faster.
Enhance collection, parsing, and reporting of test results via reports and dashboards.
Write production-quality code, prototypes, and reference implementations that unblock teams and demonstrate best practices.
Create and maintain reusable guidance, examples, and documentation that scale knowledge across GM’s engineering community.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field OR equivalent work experience.
4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on building and operating production systems.
Strong proficiency in at least one native programming language including C, C++, Rust, and a willingness to learn others.
Experience automating testing of low-level, embedded or mobile products at scale.
Demonstrated ability to deliver smoothly and quickly as part of a team in an area with high ambiguity.
Preferred Qualifications
Masters in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
7+ years of professional software engineering experience in systems, embedded, or mobile.
Experience configuring and customizing Emulators for test including QEMU or Android Emulators and VirtIO drivers.
