The purpose of this role is to reduce vehicle yard holds, ensure product quality, and optimize the reflash process by designing, implementing, and deploying an ECU reflash solution across our manufacturing facilities. This role will be responsible for launching a productionized solution at each site and enabling successful startup and execution.

As a reflash solutions engineer, you will build reflash hardware and software tooling solutions to program ECUs at the bench level then take it to GM production facilities.

Supporting the manufacturing plants to make it happen for our customers.

• Design and build hardware and software tooling to support programming of multiple ECUs.
• Execute ECU flashing activities across GM manufacturing sites.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and suppliers to understand and improve current reflash processes.

• Experience designing or working with hardware/software tools used for ECU communication, diagnostics, or reprogramming.
• Strong understanding of automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet).
• Experience using vehicle diagnostic and calibration tools (e.g., NeoVI, vSPY, DPS, or equivalent).
• 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.

• Experience developing custom reflash tooling (hardware interfaces, scripts, automation frameworks).
• Familiarity with software release processes, versioning, and break point management.
• Experience working in vehicle assembly plants, launch environments, or manufacturing engineering.
• Understanding of SDV architecture and vehicle software integration in production environments.
• Experience creating standard work, technical documentation, or training materials.
