Summary
Jackson Harmer is a Hardware Software Engineer with nine years of experience building diagnostic hardware and software for Global Aftersales at General Motors. He blends dual-disciplinary training in electrical and mechanical engineering with an MSE in Computer Engineering to solve vehicle diagnostic and scan-tool challenges end-to-end. His long GM tenure began as an eight-term co-op across powertrain, service programming, RF systems, virtual engineering, and diagnostics, giving him rare cross-functional product and validation insight. Jackson focuses on making complex vehicle systems observable and serviceable, turning electromechanical requirements into robust diagnostic tools. Based in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, he pairs hands-on hardware debugging with embedded software development and a background in full-stack web training, enabling practical integrations between vehicle systems and service platforms. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that bridge mechanical realities and software-driven diagnostics.
