Responsibilities
- Support radar hardware development through requirements review, interface definition, design reviews, verification, validation, and issue tracking
- Assist with reviews of schematics, PCB layouts, RF front ends, antennas, signal chains, power, embedded compute, thermal behavior, diagnostics, and hardware interfaces
- Set up and execute bench, laboratory, environmental, simulation, and vehicle-integration tests using appropriate instrumentation and documented procedures
- Support hardware bring-up and troubleshooting by taking measurements, analyzing results, reproducing issues, and documenting root-cause findings
- Evaluate engineering data to assess hardware and sensor performance, identify trends, and support design or corrective-action decisions
- Assist with investigations involving signal integrity, power, thermal performance, electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, interfaces, and other hardware behaviors
- Collaborate with firmware, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and vehicle-integration teams to resolve issues and assess design maturity
- Contribute to technical documentation, including requirements, design decisions, test results, validation evidence, risk assessments, issue logs, and lessons learned
Skills
- GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role. Do not apply for this role if you will need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc.)
