Job Description The Role: We are seeking a highly capable Sub systems Diagnostics Engineer to lead the definition of diagnostic requirements and strategies for Vehicle Dynamics systems, including Driveline, Trailer Brakes, Vehicle Motion Control (VMC), and Vehicle Dynamic State Estimation (VDSE). This role is responsible for translating vehicle- and subsystem-level functional requirements into robust diagnostic solutions that enable fault detection, fault isolation, serviceability, safety, and long-term product quality. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of systems engineering, diagnostics architecture, embedded controls, software development, analytics, validation, and supplier management. The ideal candidate is a technically strong systems engineer who can operate effectively in ambiguous environments, decompose complex problems into structured diagnostic requirements, and influence technical direction across multiple organizations. Experience defining diagnostic strategies, DTC architecture, fault detection methods, diagnostic maturation and recovery logic, remedial actions, customer notifications, and diagnostic data requirements is highly desirable. This position requires close collaboration with Functional System Architects (FSAs), Diagnostic System Architects (DSAs), Software, Controls, Calibration, Validation, OBD, Quality, Safety, and supplier teams to ensure diagnostics are implemented consistently and effectively throughout the product development lifecycle. What You’ll do: • Own sub system diagnostic requirements development for Vehicle Dynamics subsystems including Driveline, Trailering, VMC, and VDSE. • Define diagnostic strategies, DTC architectures, fault detection methods, enable/inhibit conditions, maturation and recovery logic, remedial actions, and customer notification requirements. • Develop diagnostic data requirements including Freeze Frame, Figure of Merit (FOM), Rolling Data Buffer, event-triggered data collection, and diagnostic analytics requirements. • Translate vehicle-level functional requirements and failure modes into detailed diagnostic requirements suitable for production software implementation. • Lead diagnostic design reviews with internal stakeholders and suppliers, ensuring alignment to GM standards, quality objectives, and compliance requirements. • Define and maintain subsystem Diagnostic BTS, validation strategies, and diagnostic governance processes. • Drive robust diagnostic solutions capable of operating reliably across environmental variation, startup conditions, transient power events, communication failures, and component variability. • Support software teams during implementation, integration, troubleshooting, and issue resolution activities. • Collaborate with OBD, Safety, Calibration, Validation, Systems, and Software teams to ensure diagnostics meet program milestone commitments. • Support diagnostic analytics, PHM (Prognostics & Health Management), and field data strategies that improve root-cause analysis, issue detection, and continuous product improvement. • Mentor engineers and contribute to development of common diagnostic standards, reusable best practices, and technical frameworks across Vehicle Dynamics programs. • Act as a technical leader for diagnostics within the Vehicle Dynamics organization.
