The Lab System Integration Engineering (LSIE) team is a part of a central engineering resource group that supports various battery, component, and propulsion test laboratories as well as vehicle garages in Pontiac, Warren, and Milford, Michigan. The Test Site Systems Engineer will directly support the Global Battery Systems Lab (GBSL), the Wallace Battery Cell Innovation Center (WBCIC), and the Root Cause Warranty Center (RWC) at the Warren Technical Center campus with a focus on the software environments and automation platforms that enable safe, efficient testing.
The Global Battery Systems Lab (GBSL-W) and Wallace Battery Cell Innovation Center (WBCIC) utilize various automation software systems to operate 24/7. The Global Battery Systems Lab has testing capabilities that include traditional environmental testing, vibration, safety and abuse, exploratory development testing, and maintains commonality with GM’s battery lab located in Shanghai, China (GBSL-S). The Wallace Battery Innovation Center houses battery cell test chambers, cell formation chambers, a material synthesis lab, a slurry mixing and processing lab, a coating room, an electrolyte production lab, and a forensics lab with material analysis equipment and advanced software The Root Cause Warranty Center (RWC) performs advanced diagnostic and failure analysis on returned components as well as full systems, using specialized test equipment, data analytics, plus forensic methods to resolve complex warranty issues. These labs and the results they produce are used by GM’s growing team of engineers working on advanced batteries and electrified vehicles, in support of the vision of a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion.
This role manages the lab software ecosystem for GBSL, WBCIC, and the RWC. Scope includes TCWS (test cell workstation) builds and configurations, LSIE’s test automation toolchain, small operational applications, the Influx/Telegraf/Grafana metrics stack, Databricks interfaces for moving lab data into analytics pipelines, and Windows-based operating environments for critical test PCs. The engineer will use enterprise automation tooling (e.g. Ansible, Baramundi) to provision test systems, manage fleets, execute software deployments, coordinate environment changes, maintain configuration records plus change records, and standardize how test sites use enterprise toolchains. The focus is on solutions that meet operator and lab needs while staying aligned with enterprise direction.
An engineer seeking end-to-end ownership of the software backbone that keeps more than 100 battery test beds running across GBSL, WBCIC, and the RWC will be well-matched to this position. The engineer in this position will design and standardize back-end environments, deployment pipelines, Windows test-fleet automation, and metrics pipelines that connect enterprise platforms to day-to-day lab operations while building a broad skill set across DevOps, site systems, and large-scale test automation. This is an onsite role at the Warren Technical Center to ensure direct engagement with lab operations, test systems, and partner teams.
