Full Job Description
**Job Description** **The Role:** VMEC (Vehicle Motion Embedded Controls) is hiring a Battery System Controls Calibration Engineer to join a production‑focused team that defines, develops, and improves calibration for control strategies, diagnostics, and controller communication on GM’s electric vehicles. In this role, you will help turn advanced EV control designs into robust, production‑ready calibrations using data from simulation, lab, and vehicle environments. You will work under general supervision, collaborating closely with more senior calibrators and technical leaders while building deep expertise in high‑voltage battery diagnostics. You will partner with software scrums, other calibration scrums, system safety, and validation teams on features spanning high‑voltage automotive systems, electric propulsion, and battery charging, helping ensure that software behaves safely, intuitively, and consistently for customers. This space is rich with technical leadership opportunities, from driving new calibration methods and virtual test capabilities to shaping how we execute. We are looking for creative, highly motivated, detail‑oriented calibrators who are comfortable working across multiple engineering disciplines and business partners, can solve complex problems with data‑driven rigor, and thrive in a fast‑moving environment where collaboration and continuous improvement are core to how we deliver. **What You’ll do:** * Develop and maintain high‑voltage battery diagnostic calibrations for GM electric vehicles, including cell, pack, current, temperature, and controller‑integrity diagnostics, owning well‑defined calibration areas with guidance from senior calibrators. * Implement and tune calibrations based on advanced EV control designs using data from simulation, lab benches, and vehicle testing, following established calibration methods and standards. * Execute validation activities for diagnostic performance and robustness across SIL, HIL/ChIL, battery lab, and
