About the job
Job Description
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale
The Role
The Core OS group is a newly formed team standing up the operating-system foundation GM's software-defined vehicles run on: the virtualization and platform-services layer that lets embedded Linux, Android, and QNX share vehicle compute safely and efficiently. As one of the founding engineers, you'll set technical direction from a blank sheet across hypervisor integration, guest OS enablement, resource partitioning, the boot and secure-boot chain, container runtime, and the health and fault-management services that keep the platform reliable in production. The architecture you choose now becomes the platform every GM vehicle software team builds on, and getting it right means debugging across boundaries most engineers never cross — guest to host, software to silicon, between partitions with different safety requirements.
