About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will be a senior individual contributor in the Wireless Technology organization, with primary responsibility for Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity on multi‑radio products.
Translate vehicle‑level use cases into robust, testable RF hardware and system requirements.
Contribute to Wi‑Fi/BT RF system architectures defined by Staff/Principal engineers and help drive those architectures into concrete designs and validation plans.
Lead RF validation, characterization, and debug across bench, chamber, and in‑vehicle environments, with a strong emphasis on multi‑radio coexistence.
Actively collaborate with GM’s compliance teams and external labs in debugging and troubleshooting issues found in Wi‑Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG certification.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience with a bachelor’s degree.
Substantial experience in RF and connectivity hardware design and validation for Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth (Classic and BLE), ideally including multi‑radio modules (e.g., GNSS, cellular) in automotive or other high‑reliability environments.
Experience with wireless protocols and features relevant to modern vehicle connectivity and/or other IoT products (e.g., Wi‑Fi 6/6E, Wi‑Fi 7 readiness, advanced Bluetooth audio, Matter or similar ecosystems).
Hands-on experience with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth protocol analyzers/sniffers for packet capture, protocol-level analysis, debugging, and root-cause investigation.
Hands‑on experience with RF lab equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, VSAs, oscilloscopes, OTA chambers, shielded boxes) and RF characterization methods.
Proven ability to define and maintain hardware/system requirements (e.g., ERDs, CTRS) and to translate system use cases into executable test plans and validation strategies.
Solid understanding of multi‑radio coexistence , EMC/EMI considerations, and practical mitigation techniques (filtering, shielding, antenna isolation, time‑domain coordination) for Wi‑Fi/BT in dense RF environments.
Strong technical communication, documentation, and cross‑functional collaboration skills, with comfort driving technical discussions and issue resolution.
