• Experience developing or supporting ECU reflash or software deployment workflows (bench or vehicle-level).
• Working knowledge of manufacturing and end-of-line (EOL) processes, including software flashing, validation, and issue resolution.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot software, hardware, and network interaction issues in vehicle or production environments.
• Experience collaborating across software, electrical engineering, and manufacturing teams to deliver integrated solutions.
• Willingness to travel (up to 50%) to support deployment across GM manufacturing sites.
