Calibration Assistant – Low Voltage Infrastructure

Job Description

The Role

Support Low Voltage Infrastructure (LVI) calibration and validation by preparing development vehicles, maintaining test equipment, conducting evaluations, and collecting test data. Work with calibration engineers, test operations, garages, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to support vehicle and test readiness, troubleshooting, and safe execution.

What You'll Do

• Maintain, inspect, and prepare development vehicles to ensure safe, reliable availability for LVI calibration and validation activities.
• Coordinate vehicle access, garage resources, tools, parts, and logistics to support program timing and test readiness.
• Install, configure, verify, and maintain vehicle instrumentation, data-acquisition equipment, wiring, and test support hardware.
• Prepare vehicles for development trips, test events, ride evaluations, and engineering demonstrations; support travel as required, up to four times per year.
• Update vehicles with approved software, calibrations, configurations, and test content under the direction of development engineers.
• Conduct vehicle, laboratory, and road evaluations using established test procedures and documented direction.
• Collect, organize, and perform initial quality checks on test data; clearly communicate observations, anomalies, and test status to the engineering team.
• Troubleshoot low-voltage electrical, calibration, controls, communication-network, and vehicle issues; support root-cause investigations with responsible engineering teams.
• Use laboratory and vehicle test procedures to assess system performance against defined requirements and targets.
• Support the creation, refinement, and validation of analytical and physical test tools, including correlating measured vehicle data with expected system performance.
• Assist with test documentation, issue tracking, calibration reviews, and continuous improvement of LVI test procedures and standard work.
• Communicate and coordinate effectively with calibration engineers, test operations, garages, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering organizations.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and professional work environment while handling vehicles, high-current low-voltage systems, instrumentation, and test equipment.

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Associate degree in mechanical engineering technology, electrical/electronic technology, automotive technology, or a related technical field; equivalent relevant technical training and experience may be considered.
• Three or more years of experience in automotive controls, electrical systems, testing, vehicle development, service diagnostics, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience diagnosing mechanical, electrical, and electronic vehicle issues using standard test equipment.
• Working knowledge of complex mechanical and electrical concepts, including vehicle wiring, sensors, actuators, communication networks, and data acquisition.
• Ability to follow test procedures, document work accurately, and safely operate development vehicles and test equipment.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting ability for moderately complex technical problems.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work productively with a diverse, cross-functional team.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, adapt to changing priorities, and work with limited day-to-day supervision.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel for development trips and test activities.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, or a related technical discipline.

• Five or more years of experience in automotive embedded controls, electrified vehicle systems, vehicle development, or calibration support.

• Experience with low-voltage electrical power systems, including power generation, 12V/48V energy storage, power distribution, load management, or battery-saver functions.

• Experience supporting EV, hybrid, or advanced electrical architecture vehicle development.

• Experience with calibration, diagnostics, and data-acquisition tools such as INCA, Vehicle Spy, neoVI, CRETA, MDA, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent tools.

• Experience with vehicle instrumentation, CAN/CAN FD networks, test automation, HIL/SIL environments, or advanced data analysis.

• Demonstrated initiative, ownership, attention to detail, and commitment to continuous improvement.

• 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).

• This role is categorized as onsite. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location on a full-time basis.

• The selected candidate will be required to travel
