Compute & Connectivity Hardware (CCH) is part of GM’s Vehicle Software & Electronics Engineering (VSEE) organization within Software & Services Engineering. The team develops the physical hardware foundation for GM’s software-defined vehicles, including compute, connectivity, networking, displays, and other electronic platforms that enable in-vehicle software, infotainment, ADAS, vehicle controls, and connected experiences.
CCH’s work spans architecture, requirements, hardware and electronics design, embedded hardware, systems integration, validation, launch, and in-market performance. Our engineers collaborate across software, systems, controls, cybersecurity, functional safety, vehicle engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing to develop reliable, production-ready hardware for GM’s vehicle portfolio.
The Senior Display Hardware Engineer, Optics will lead the development and maturation of next-generation optical film and light management technologies for automotive LCD and OLED displays. This role focuses on evaluating and optimizing optical stacks, including brightness enhancement films (BEF/DBEF), diffuser and prism films, polarizers, circular polarizers, and other advanced optical materials that improve display brightness, efficiency, contrast, and outdoor readability.
You will establish optical characterization methodologies and validation processes used to benchmark emerging technologies and assess their readiness for future automotive applications, including instrument clusters, center displays, and passenger infotainment systems.
Working closely with optical material suppliers, display manufacturers, and internal engineering teams, you will drive the evaluation, validation, and integration of advanced optical solutions. You will also collaborate with Display Panel Engineers and Materials Engineers to ensure optical technologies meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements before transitioning into production programs.
