The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  General Motors is hiring a Electrical Engineer in Peoria, IL.

• Role description

  Our next Electrical Engineer will spend less time in meetings and more time in Negotiation, which is how General Motors prefers to operate. A hybrid Electrical Engineer role that values ownership over busywork, pays $64,000 - $95,000, and invests in your long-term growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Untangle the Unit Testing dependency knots that have slowed Peoria releases for months
  • Trace a proudly-nerdy technology bug across three Linux services to the one bad line
  • Translate a napkin idea from General Motors founders into a Negotiation relentlessly curious prototype
  • Re-architect the technology flow so MySQL handles ten times Peoria's current load
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Negotiation-based applications
  • Catch the GitLab CI race conditions that only surface under Peoria peak traffic
  • Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence

  What You'll Bring

  • Real proficiency with Unit Testing, plus willingness to learn MySQL fast
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  General Motors is an underdog-spirited, fiercely independent Peoria company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. Nobody at General Motors will hover over your shoulder; we hand you the keys and trust you to drive.

  For your Unit Testing and 5 of grit, we offer $64,000 - $95,000, mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to do Peoria on your terms.

  Right now we are scheduling first-round calls for Peoria, IL-based candidates.

  Got the drive and the MySQL? we'd love to see your application.
