As a Technical Fellow, you will guide vehicle connectivity architecture, influence cross-functional teams, and define long-term technology strategies for GM's consumer vehicles.
Description
Remote: This role is based remotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of Atanta, Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford or Mountain View, you are expected to report to that location three times a week, at minimum.
The Role
As Technical Fellow in the Vehicle Services Infrastructure organization, you will serve as a senior architect across the entire engineering stack related to vehicle communication and the connected back-end services powering features in all GM consumer vehicles globally.

You will influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders, providing technical vision and direction for highly complex, multi-year initiatives. This role demands not only deep technical knowledge but also the ability to lead without direct authority-mentoring engineers, aligning competing priorities, and guiding architectural decisions across multiple organizations.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) • 15+ years of experience in software development • At least 5 years in a technical leadership or architecture role • Proven experience delivering large-scale, complex initiatives across multi-functional teams • Expertise in full-stack development and back-end system design • Strong background in vehicle connectivity or similar distributed systems • Excellent written and verbal communication skills • Ability to lead and mentor diverse engineering teams • Demonstrated success influencing executive-level stakeholders
What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications) • Experience with robust and fault-tolerant networking and communication protocols • Knowledge of secure connectivity solutions between devices • Experience optimizing web services for user-facing performance • Familiarity with negotiating technical direction and integration with third-party vendors • Prior experience leading initiatives that span multiple Director-level organizations • Background in automotive or embedded systems is a plus
