In this position...
Body controls is the subsystem the customer physically touches every time they use the vehicle. As the industry shifts to software-defined vehicles, every one of those interactions has become a cross-functional problem spanning electrical hardware, software, and network communication.

We’re looking for an experienced electrical systems integration engineer with sufficient hardware depth to own body controls end to end. You'll own the intersection where hardware and software meet by translating physical component behavior into system requirements, defining the interfaces that drive it, and proving it works on real hardware. You’ll drive integration of the motors, sensors, and actuators within body controls subsystems such as closures, seating, lighting, switches, mirrors, and wipers. From concept through production, you are responsible for the seamless operation and performance of these systems.
