About the Role

The Physical and Virtual Tests Platform organisation at GM is building a cloud-native platform that transforms physical automotive test hardware into cloud-native compute resources. This role is a hands-on technical leadership position on a small, greenfield team where your decisions will directly shape how the platform interacts with automotive hardware at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and build integration tooling and agent services in Go that connect automotive test hardware to the platform's cloud-native control plane, enabling automated hardware discovery, state reporting, and lifecycle management.
• Develop provisioning workflows that coordinate firmware flashing, health checks, power cycling, and resource validation across diverse bench configurations, working with existing vendor tools and automotive protocols.
• Engage with embedded engineering teams and bench users to understand their hardware workflows, identify pain points, and translate those findings into platform features and automation tooling.
• Build hardware abstraction layers that present heterogeneous bench hardware as clean, allocatable resources to the platform's scheduler and API.
• Contribute to core platform services in Go including the API, scheduler, and CLI tooling, bringing a hardware-aware perspective to architecture and design decisions.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for firmware build automation, integration testing, and deployment workflows that span both platform services and hardware-facing components.
• Document hardware integration patterns, protocol quirks, and operational knowledge to build institutional understanding across the team.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Infrastructure Engineering, Quality Engineering, and Hardware Infrastructure to define integration requirements, validate platform capabilities against real-world bench workflows, and drive adoption.
• Work with tools and technologies including Go, PostgreSQL, Nomad, Consul, Linux system interfaces, automotive communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, serial), CI/CD pipelines, observability frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), and Git/GitHub.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong foundation in systems-level programming and infrastructure development.
• Strong proficiency in Go, with the ability to write clean, maintainable production code for backend services and systems tooling.
• Solid understanding of Linux systems including system interfaces, process management, networking, and service management (systemd).
• Experience building integration tooling, agent services, or automation frameworks that bridge hardware and software systems.
• Familiarity with embedded systems concepts including firmware management, boot processes, hardware interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet), and device lifecycle management.
• Experience with CI/CI pipelines, build automation, and deployment workflows for systems that include hardware-in-the-loop or physical device dependencies.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and integration layers with a systematic debugging methodology.
• Ability to work across team boundaries, engage with stakeholders who have different technical vocabularies, and translate hardware requirements into platform features.
• Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to capture and share integration knowledge across teams.
• Ownership mentality and comfort working on a small, greenfield team where everyone contributes across the stack.
