Motorsport – Electronic Systems, HiL, DiL, Dyno Engineer

Job Description

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord, NC three (3) times per week, at minimum. Testing requirements may require the employee to be onsite five (5) days per week.

The Role

GM Motorsports is expanding its advanced electronics and virtual development capability to support factory racing programs across Sports Car Racing (IMSA, WEC, LMDh), Formula 1, and high‑performance production vehicle development.  This role is instrumental in developing, validating, and supporting motorsport‑grade electronic architectures, vehicle dynamic models, and real‑time simulation environments. You will work hands‑on with race‑proven control systems, powertrain electronics, and driver‑focused development tools including Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HiL), Driver‑in‑the‑Loop (DiL), AVL propulsion dynos, and associated race‑engineering toolchains.

What You'll Do

Electronic Systems Support

• Replicate and validate motorsport electronic systems in virtual test benches, including chassis, powertrain, hybrid systems, and telemetry architectures.

• Debug electrical, hardware and software issues when systems are not 100% functional

• Support performance engineers and race teams in GM’s virtual test environments

HiL Test Bench Support

• Complete ownership of dSPACE and Concurrent Real-Time hardware in the loop test benches

• Electrical system architecture and wire harness design

• Plant model development and integration

• Automated regression testing

• Support software controls and system configuration testing

DiL Simulation Support

• Keep GM and Dallara driver-in-the-loop systems up to date with the racecar systems

• Act as first responder to hardware and software issues during live simulator sessions

• Support testing of prototype controls and electronics system configs

• Manage and configure telemetry and control system files across multiple simulator environments

• Understand and support DiL rig hardware, CAN systems, and the interface between rig and Dymola vehicle models

AVL Dyno Test Support

• Understand and support the vehicle systems to link DiL testing with a live propulsion system on dyno

• Support AVL dyno control and data systems to maximize use of the dyno

• This position will require minimal travel. Expected travel to be 2-4 weeks a year.

What You’ll Need (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science or equivalent professional experience

• 2-6 years of engineering experience

• Ability to balance multiple projects efficiently, including prioritization and working to tight deadlines

• Strong collaboration skills and ability to navigate relationships with external partners

• Ability to efficiently document customer requirements, identify methods to integrate into existing framework, translate into functional solutions and validate changes

• Deliver high quality work products by utilizing a variety of test methodologies and environments including software in the loop (SiL), hardware in the loop (HiL) and driver in the loop (DiL)

• Ability to present data clearly and concisely; examples may be requested

• High proficiency in problem solving, methodically finding, and solving issue root causes, especially in high stress environments

• Strong communication skills are a must as you will be working with team members at remote locations frequently

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Demonstrated proficiency in automotive (or similar) electronic systems with specific knowledge on CAN, ethernet, electrical architecture and telemetry

• Endurance racing experience in a series such as IMSA, WEC, ELMS, etc

• Hybrid racing experience such as LMDh, LMH, or F1

• Demonstrated proficiency in motorsports electronics including Bosch, Cosworth, McLaren, Motec, etc

• Experience working with SiL, HiL, and DiL simulation environments

• Demonstrated proficiency in team support at the racetrack

• AVL dyno experience
