Electrical Energy Management System and System Safety Engineer (GPSSC)

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.   Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Electrical Energy Management   System and System Safety Engineer provides technical leadership for the definition, development, integration, and safety assurance of high voltage energy management systems, with a specific focus on high voltage protection, and additional responsibility for wireless device charging safety. This role applies systems engineering and ISO 26262–aligned system safety practices from concept through launch to ensure that customer, regulatory, and internal GM safety and performance requirements are met.

Systems Engineering – High Voltage Energy Management Own and maintain system-level requirements for assigned functions of the High Voltage Energy Management (HVEM) system, including the HV eFuse and related protection and control features. Translate customer and feature needs for assigned functions into clear, traceable system requirements and allocate them to hardware, software, and interfaces. Organize and maintain HVEM requirements in DNG (including safety, use cases, attributes such as ASIL/DVUL/regulatory links, and regulatory reference sections). Define HVEM test expectations using GMW-based test case frameworks and identify gaps requiring additional coverage. Lead, for assigned functions, resolution of new or complex HVEM requirements and issues, working with technical specialists to embed best practices and standard design solutions. Own FMEA content and roll-down for assigned HVEM scope, ensuring consistency between system-level risk assessments and component mitigations. Act as the technical expert for HVEM system intent and behavior for assigned functions, supporting issue triage, root cause identification, and robust field issue closure. System Safety Engineering – Wireless Charging and HVEM Execute the GM System Safety Process for HVEM and wireless device charging systems in alignment with ISO 26262 from concept through launch. Own and maintain the safety case for wireless device charging and relevant HVEM functions, ensuring complete traceability from hazards to requirements and evidence. Perform and/or guide key safety analyses (e.g., PHA, FTA, system element fault analysis, diagnostic coverage, delta impact, and requirements analysis). Provide direction to Tier-1 suppliers on safety-related requirements, implementation expectations, and validation for HVEM and wireless charging. Lead system safety reviews and apply the GM System Safety Checklist to assess safety impact and criticality of changes, recommending mitigations where needed. Provide DVUL and safety approvals for development and launch software releases and confirm that safety requirements are validated prior to Ship-to-Commerce. Cross-Functional Leadership and Collaboration Serve as the primary systems and safety interface for HVEM and wireless charging across engineering, validation, manufacturing, and service teams. Facilitate cross-functional trade-off discussions to reach lifecycle-aware solutions that balance performance, safety, robustness, cost, and serviceability. Champion systems thinking and functional safety culture, and mentor less experienced engineers in requirements development, safety analysis, and safety case development. Communicate technical status, risks, and safety posture clearly to program leadership and stakeholders. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) Bachelor’s degree in
