About the role
Job Description The Team: The MSP (Mechatronic Software Platform) organization is responsible for building and operating the common mechatronic software platform that underpins GM’s SDV strategy, and GM Basic Software is a core part of that foundation. General Motors Basic Software (GMBSW) delivered by the MSP group provides a standardized, software foundation that enables reliable integration, deterministic execution, cybersecurity, functional safety, and long-term maintainability across GM’s ECU ecosystem. The Role: The Engineering Group Leader– BSW leads a team of engineers responsible for defining, delivering, evolving, and supporting GMBSW capabilities across the MSP portfolio, including foundational areas such as HWIO/MCAL/RTOS, communication, cyber, diagnostics, data management, programming/boot, RTE, safety, system services, and vehicle/micro moding. This leader aligns BSW strategy and execution with portfolio needs, partners closely with HWIO, integration, validation, and application teams, and ensures GMBSW remains production-ready, reusable, scalable, and fit for current and emerging programs such as MSP-supported MCU platforms. The EGL creates an inclusive, high-performing team culture, develops talent, drives alignment and clear direction, challenges the status quo to improve efficiency and quality, and helps translate MSP portfolio priorities into strong technical execution and dependable customer support. What You'll Do (Responsibilities): People & Team Leadership • Lead, coach, and develop a team of BSW engineers, providing clear goals, feedback, and growth opportunities across technical depth, delivery, and leadership behaviors. • Build an inclusive, psychologically safe culture that encourages ownership, collaboration, healthy challenge, and continuous learning. • Set clear priorities and decision criteria for the team, balancing strategic platform investments, product commitments, and support demands across the MSP portfolio. • Model a service-oriented leadership style focused on enabling partner teams and removing obstacles so teams can deliver high-quality software faster. Technical & Product Leadership • Own delivery strategy, scope, and execution for assigned GMBSW areas, ensuring alignment to MSP portfolio priorities, ECU roadmaps, and program timing needs. • Define and evolve reusable BSW solutions that support GM’s standardized software foundation across domains, programs, and generations. • Drive technical direction for BSW components spanning platform infrastructure such as HWIO/MCAL/RTOS, communications, cyber, diagnostics, memory/data services, programming/boot, RTE, safety, and core system services. • Ensure BSW solutions are modular, maintainable, production-proven, and architected for reuse rather than one-off program customization. Portfolio & Program Execution • Partner with portfolio, architecture, HWIO, integration, validation, and application teams to align BSW delivery with platform and vehicle program needs. • Support new platform and program needs by assessing fit, identifying gaps, and shaping pragmatic plans for delivery, reuse, and ownership boundaries. • Drive clarity on interfaces and responsibilities across MSP, suppliers, and partner organizations, especially where GMBSW is delivered by MSP while build, integration, or adjacent software ownership sits elsewhere. • Balance strategic roadmap work with responsive support for active portfolio initiatives and new builds. Quality, Safety, Cybersecurity, and Release Readiness • Ensure BSW products meet expectations for reliability, deterministic behavior, security, safety, and maintainability. • Drive strong engineering practices for verification, defect management, issue triage, and root-cause resolution across owned B
