• Lead new product programs through architecture and advanced technology phases, ensuring technical integrity, gate readiness, cross-functional alignment, and risk closure.
• Define subsystem and system architectures covering electrical topologies, semiconductors, cooling, controls interfaces, packaging, and scalability.
• Lead trade-offs across safety, efficiency, power density, cost, weight, thermal performance, manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and customer value.
• Partner with systems, controls, software, hardware, vehicle integration, manufacturing, validation, and supplier teams to implement and validate architecture decisions.
• Establish architecture standards and governance, influence program leadership, anticipate technical risks, and mentor engineers across multiple vehicle programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
• 8+ years of new product engineering experience, including significant responsibility for power electronics systems, architecture, integration, controls, or hardware development.
• Experience delivering multiple complex automotive power electronics products from concept through launch with sustained safety, quality, cost, performance, and timing results.
• Deep expertise in at least one relevant domain, including traction inverters, OBCMs, APMs, BDUs, DC-DC converters, charging systems, or other high-voltage vehicle systems.
• Ability to lead subsystem and system architecture, define interfaces, and drive cross-functional integration.
• Strong knowledge of power conversion topologies, wide-bandgap semiconductors, controls integration, thermal management, EMC, high-voltage safety, electrical protection, and reliability engineering.
• Ability to make high-consequence technical decisions using first principles, systems thinking, quantitative analysis, and documented assumptions.
• Strong communication and technical leadership skills, including influence over engineering teams, suppliers, and leadership without direct authority.
• Experience creating architecture standards, interface specifications, technical guidelines, design reviews, decision frameworks, and critical technical risk plans; ability to mentor engineers and demonstrate cross-program impact.
• GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship; candidates requiring current or future GM immigration sponsorship or immigration support, including H-1B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, or J-1 support, should not apply.
