• Experience with Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and data visualization.

Responsabilidades

• Lead engineers building autonomy evaluation platforms, metrics, workflows, dashboards, and analysis tooling for simulation and on-road testing.
• Set technical direction for systems that introspect autonomous driving software performance across interfaces and across the autonomy stack.
• Drive design and delivery of analysis algorithms that summarize, aggregate, and cluster metrics from simulation and on-road runs.
• Guide the team in developing ML methods to quantify performance and identify behavior patterns across scenes and domains.
• Oversee evaluation approaches for ML components across perception, prediction, and planning, ensuring explainable, scalable methods.
• Ensure the team delivers clear dashboards and interactive reports for trend analysis, drift detection, and leadership insight.
• Partner with Autonomy, Simulation, Systems, and Safety teams to align evaluation strategy with product needs.
• Help the organization leverage AI techniques to classify autonomy performance and prioritize validation with human-in-the-loop review.
• Maintain high technical standards through design reviews, testing, and observability.
• Translate system-level results into feedback for engineering and leadership and drive high-priority evaluation outcomes.
• Create clarity across priorities, roadmaps, and dependencies in a technically complex domain.
• Balance near-term delivery with long-term platform investments in metrics and tooling.

Work Arrangement

This role is categorized as Remote/ hybrid . Remote:This role is basedremotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of [Austin, Detroit, Warren,Milford, Sunnyvale, CA ], you are expected to report to that location three timesperweek, at minimum.

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 unprecedented scale. Join us to help deliver the next generation of safe and delightful personal autonomous vehicle experiences.

About the Organization

The Evaluation team builds and evolves the evaluation ecosystem that powers the development and scaling of GM's autonomous driving technology. We develop metrics, automated workflows, and analysis approaches that enable data-driven decisions across AV development and verification. Partnering with Autonomy, Simulation, Systems, and Safety teams, we act as system-level integrators and arbiters of end-to-end AV quality.

We own large-scale test scenario libraries, continuous evaluation pipelines, and critical risk assessment and release-gating components, treating road testing, data mining, training, and metrics as first-class use cases in a unified analytics framework. By joining this team, you will help shape GM's core evaluation platforms, turn system-level results into clear feedback for engineering and leadership, and help accelerate validated AV deployment at scale.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team building the software, metrics, and analysis systems used to evaluate autonomous driving performance at scale. This leader will combine strong technical judgment with people leadership, cross-functional influence, and execution rigor to help shape GM's core evaluation platforms and accelerate validated AV deployment.

What You'll Do

• Lead, coach, and grow a team of engineers building autonomy evaluation platforms, metrics, workflows, dashboards, and analysis tooling for simulation and on-road testing.
• Set technical direction for systems that introspect autonomous driving software performance across interfaces and across the autonomy stack.
• Drive the design and delivery of analysis algorithms that summarize, aggregate, and cluster metrics from simulation and on-road runs.
• Guide the team in developing new statistical and machine learning methods to quantify performance and identify behavior patterns across scenes and operational domains.
• Oversee evaluation approaches for ML components across perception, prediction, and planning, ensuring methods are explainable, scalable, and useful to development and verification teams.
• Ensure the team delivers clear dashboards and interactive reports for trend analysis, drift detection, scenario coverage, and leadership insight.
• Partner closely with Autonomy, Simulation, Systems, and Safety teams to define requirements, resolve handoff issues, and align evaluation strategy with product and release needs.
• Help the organization leverage emerging AI techniques, including VLMs and LLMs where appropriate, to classify autonomy performance and prioritize validation work with human-in-the-loop review.
• Maintain a high technical bar through strong system design, code review, testing, observability, and engineering best practices.
• Translate system-level results into clear feedback for engineering and leadership and drive execution against high-priority evaluation outcomes.

Leadership Responsibilities

• Build a high-performing, inclusive engineering team through hiring, coaching, feedback, and career development.
• Create clarity across priorities, roadmaps, and dependencies for a technically complex evaluation domain.
• Balance near-term delivery with long-term platform investments in metrics, tooling, and infrastructure.
• Raise the quality of team execution through clear ownership, strong design reviews, and healthy operating mechanisms.
• Represent the team effectively across partner organizations and influence decisions that affect system-level AV quality.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 8+ years of relevant experience in robotics, autonomous systems software, data analysis, ML evaluation, or autonomy analytics, including substantial experience leading technical teams and delivering complex software systems. This manager version is adapted from a senior IC profile that calls for 5+ years in these domains.
• 3+ years evaluating dynamic systems using numerical and/or ML approaches, including time-series data, state derivatives, dynamics, and interconnected subsystems.
• Strong proficiency developing Python in production team environments, including testing, performance, and code review.
• Strong hands-on familiarity with Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and data visualization librarie
