Job Description

General Motors is a global leader in advanced driver assistance. With Super Cruise hands‑free technology in more than 500,000 Super Cruise-equipped vehicles on the road, and over 700 million hands‑free miles driven, GM is proving that automation can be trusted, intuitive, and helpful. GM has the global reach to bring cutting‑edge advances to everyday drivers at an unprecedented scale. Join us to help deliver the next generation of safe and delightful personal autonomous vehicle experiences.

About the Organization

The Simulation team, part of the Autonomous Vehicle organization, is responsible for developing and advancing the simulation ecosystem that enables the growth and maturity of GM’s autonomous driving technology. We develop scalable tools, workflows, and analysis capabilities that enable data‑driven decisions across AV development, testing, and validation. Partnering with Autonomy, Systems, Safety, and other cross‑functional teams, we provide the simulation foundation needed to assess system behavior, improve development velocity, and support end‑to‑end AV quality. We own large‑scale scenario libraries, test and evaluation pipelines, and core infrastructure that support virtual testing, data analysis, model development, and validation within a unified framework. By joining this team, you will help shape GM’s core simulation platforms, turn complex system behavior into actionable insights, and accelerate the development of safe, scalable autonomous vehicles.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain large‑scale test infrastructure and evaluation pipelines that enable and quantify the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of simulation tests used for autonomous vehicle software validation.

• Develop and maintain GM’s core simulation dashboards and reports, delivering clear, actionable, and interpretable insights on test operations, simulation trust and health trends to engineering teams and leadership.

• Drive scalable simulation quality assessments, standardized processes, and automation to support seamless integration of automated outputs with human‑in‑the‑loop analysis and evaluation.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional partners across Autonomy, Systems, Safety, and customer teams to define, refine, and drive consensus on simulation validation methodologies and requirements.

• Uphold high standards for code quality and software architecture through code reviews and technical leadership, mentoring other engineers on software engineering and simulation testing best practices.

• Leverage AI‑assisted development tools and analytics platforms to enhance productivity, improve code quality, and drive innovation in simulation testing.

What You Must Have

• 5+ years of applied experience developing complex evaluation, simulation, or test frameworks.

• Proficient in developing Python for production systems, including unit testing, code review, performance tradeoffs, and reliability best practices.

• Demonstrated ability to drive technical design and execution across multiple teams and organizations in a remote or distributed environment.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge

• Experience testing and evaluating robotics systems or autonomous vehicles, including working on simulation frameworks.

• Experience working on test strategies and validation for safety‑critical products.

• A strong, data‑driven curiosity to investigate anomalies and systematically root‑cause discrepancies.

• Familiarity with SQL, time‑series data analysis, performance monitoring tools and dashboarding systems (e.g., Looker, Streamlit).

Hybrid/Remote

This role can be based remotely but if you live within a 50‑mile radius of Sunnyvale or Mountain View you are expected to report to that location three times per week.

*This job may be eligible for relocation benefits if you are interested in relocating to the bay area.

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $129,400 to $198,400. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.

Benefits

GM offers a variety of health and wellbeing benefit programs. Benefit options include medical, dental, vision, Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Accounts, retirement savings plan, sickness and accident benefits, life insurance, paid vacation & holidays, tuition assistance programs, employee assistance program, GM vehicle discounts and more.
