The Role: General Motors is seeking a motivated Software Engineer to join the Battery Energy Transfer organization. This role develops embedded software for electrified vehicles, with a focus on power-electronics control and energy-transfer functions such as onboard charging, power conversion, charging and discharging, and vehicle-to-everything capabilities. You will design, implement, integrate, and validate production-quality software that enables safe, reliable, and efficient transfer of energy between the vehicle, battery, and charging infrastructure. The role combines hands-on embedded software development with system-level collaboration across software, controls, systems, validation, calibration, electrical architecture, and hardware teams. What you’ll do: • Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ software for automotive power-electronics and energy-transfer applications. • Design software for AC/DC charging, DC/DC conversion, voltage and current regulation, power-flow control, state machines, diagnostics, protection, and fault handling. • Translate system and controls requirements into clear, maintainable, and testable software designs and implementation. • Collaborate with software architects, system engineers, SSLEs, hardware and HWIO teams, calibration, validation, and suppliers to resolve technical issues and deliver integrated solutions. • Support software architecture, interface definition, feature decomposition, and requirements traceability from system behavior through implementation and test. • Develop and review software using sound design principles, coding standards, and automotive embedded best practices, including MISRA-aligned development where applicable. • Use CAN and other vehicle communication technologies to support controller interfaces, diagnostics, and feature integration. • Perform unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop, system, and vehicle-level testing; investigate failures and drive root-cause resolution. • Support automated build, test, and continuous-integration workflows to improve software quality and delivery efficiency. • Use behavior- and test-driven development practices, including clear acceptance criteria and Given/When/Then scenarios where appropriate. • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, technical problem solving, and continuous improvement of development and validation processes. • Contribute to charging and energy-transfer features supporting EV charging infrastructure, charging protocols, and bidirectional energy-transfer use cases. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications): • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field. • 2+ years of professional experience in automotive embedded software development, power-electronics controls software, or a closely related field. • Demonstrated hands-on experience developing production-oriented software in C or C++. • Understanding of real-time embedded software design, software interfaces, state machines, diagnostics, and hardware/software integration. • Experience translating requirements into software design, implementation, and verification activities. • Experience with software debugging, integration, root-cause analysis, and automated or bench-based testing. • Ability to work effectively across software, systems, controls, hardware, validation, and other cross-functional engineering teams. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, analytical ability, and attention to detail.
