Sr. System Engineer - GM Defense IT

THE ROLE

GM Defense is driving the future of military mobility by leveraging the best-in-class capabilities of General Motors for unmatched innovation, proven performance and breakthrough life-cycle economics. We deliver reliable, affordable, and innovative products across a full spectrum of capabilities – integrated vehicles, power and propulsion, autonomy, mobility, and security.

GM Defense IT is seeking a Sr. System Engineer to support critical GM Defense work by leading and executing systems engineering activities across secure and regulated environments. This role will help establish structure, repeatability, and operational discipline across the GM Defense IT landscape, while supporting project delivery, operational health, customer support, compliance, and issue resolution in collaboration with enterprise architecture, security, and cross-functional IT teams.

System Engineers are responsible for partitioning and allocating product, feature and system functionality to implementation teams. Safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance are factors considered in system design with the goal of optimizing performance, design, testability, and deployability. System engineers identify use cases, define functional technical requirements, enable robust implementation designs, and ensure built-in quality with test definition and traceability.

This role should operate as a fully qualified and experienced individual contributor with broad knowledge of the function and related areas, strong independent judgment on significant matters, and the ability to work independently with minimal guidance. The role is expected to break broad challenges into implementable initiatives, solve diverse non-standard problems, drive cross-team delivery, and serve as a resource and mentor to less experienced colleagues.

The strongest candidates will bring a hands-on systems engineering background, strong operational discipline, and the ability to bring structure to complex day-to-day challenges. They should be effective problem solvers who can identify systemic issues, support secure and compliant operations, work effectively across multiple teams, and deliver practical solutions that improve reliability, supportability, and business outcomes for GM Defense.
