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 Software & Electronics Platform team is building the execution foundation for GM’s software-defined electric vehicles. We are looking for a Program Engineering Manager (PEM) to lead end-to-end execution for the EV platform, connecting platform strategy and architecture to integrated software, electronics, vehicle, and launch deliverables. This role is accountable for making complex work executable. The PEM will establish clear ownership, plans, timing, dependencies, risks, and recovery actions across the platform and relevant vehicle programs. The role will partner closely with the Chief Engineer, senior engineering leaders in VSEE, Product and Platform PMO, Vehicle Program Teams, and cross-functional engineering organizations. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable setting direction with senior leaders, driving disciplined execution with engineering teams, and developing a high-performing team of APEMs.

Lead end-to-end EV platform execution Own the integrated execution plan for EV Software & Electronics Platform content from requirements and architecture through vehicle integration, validation, launch readiness, and post-launch follow-through. Translate platform roadmaps, vehicle content, customer needs, and engineering commitments into executable work with accountable owners, dates, dependencies, decision points, and measurable exit criteria. Coordinate software and hardware deliverables across platform features, ECUs, electrical and logical topology, interfaces, diagnostics, calibration, releases, test assets, and vehicle integration activities. Ensure platform commitments are aligned to Global Vehicle Development Process milestones and protected through clear readiness assessments, risk management, and recovery plans. Balance common-platform reuse with EV vehicle-program needs, including scope, timing, cost, resource capacity, technical debt, and launch risk. Drive integration, issue ownership, and decisions Establish a single, decision-ready view of cross-platform execution health, including feature readiness, integration dependencies, open issues, risks, mitigations, and milestone confidence. Lead resolution of complex software, electronics, architecture, and vehicle-integration issues that cross organizational or technical boundaries. Drive timely decisions through the appropriate forums, including Core PDTs, PAPIR, Dev/Val, and other escalation forums. Own launch execution and overall platform readiness Lead platform readiness planning and status through key GVDP and software-quality milestones as applicable to the assigned EV programs. Ensure objective evidence, owners, timing, and countermeasures are in place for platform readiness, Software Quality Readiness Reviews, Program Quality Readiness Reviews, vehicle integration, release completeness, and launch decisions. Drive disciplined management of Vehicle Functionality Readiness Plans (VFRP), Testable Functionality Rollout Plans (TFRP), PRTS/Jira issues, VeSCoM readiness, and SW build factory software-release dependencies Use execution metrics to identify trends
