Overview
General Motors is seeking a highly motivated Calibration Engineer - Virtual Capability & Automation Specialist to advance the development of virtual capabilities that accelerate and optimize EV propulsion calibration. This role focuses on building scalable simulation environments, automation tools, and data workflows that reduce development time, improve model accuracy, and enable efficient calibration through virtual-first methods.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and deploy virtual calibration models, tools, and environments using simulation platforms such as MATLAB/Simulink, Co-Simulation frameworks, and related technologies.
Create and maintain automation workflows for calibration execution, data processing, and report generation using Python, C++, or similar programming languages.
Integrate virtual calibration solutions with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) systems to support end-to-end validation.
Partner with propulsion calibration teams to identify process inefficiencies and implement virtual and automated solutions that improve speed, quality, and repeatability.
Analyze simulation and vehicle test data to validate models and refine calibration strategies.
Document tools, workflows, and best practices to support scalable adoption across teams.
Provide training and technical support to engineers using virtual calibration and automation tools.
Collaborate cross-functionally to define requirements and roadmap enhancements for future virtual capabilities.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years' experience with object-oriented programming (Python, C++, Java, or similar) for tool or workflow development.
Working knowledge of vehicle propulsion systems, controls, and/or vehicle dynamics.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex challenges into scalable technical solutions.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Effective communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with EV or electrified propulsion calibration, particularly using virtual or model-based methods.
Demonstrated experience developing automation for engineering or data analysis workflows.
Familiarity with HIL/SIL testing and model validation processes.

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...
