Motorsport - Electronic Systems, HiL, DiL, Dyno Engineer

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord, NC or Milford, MI three (3) times per week, at minimum. Testing requirements may require the employee to be onsite five (5) days per week. The Role GM Motorsports is developing and supporting electronic systems and virtual testing environments to support our growing Sports Car Racing platforms as well as F1 and production car environments. You will work with GM engineering to develop state of the art electronic systems and actively support the systems in virtual environments and test facilities. This will include hardware in the loop (HiL), driver in the loop (Dil) and dyno in the loop testing environments. The ideal candidate is hands-on, proactive, and capable of managing complex systems in a high-pressure motorsport environment.
