About the role

  • Ensure BSW solutions are modular, maintainable, production-proven, and architected for reuse rather than one-off program customization.
  • Quality, Safety, Cybersecurity, and Release Readiness
  • Ensure BSW products meet expectations for reliability, deterministic behavior, security, safety, and maintainability.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of BSW engineers, providing clear goals, feedback, and growth opportunities across technical depth, delivery, and leadership behaviors.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
