Benefits offered by this job
Job summary
General Motors is seeking engineers for the Simulation Scalability team to lead release management, quality strategy, and cross-functional collaboration. You will help improve reliability, throughput, and operational excellence across our simulation ecosystem.
The role focuses on end-to-end release processes, quality gates, and architectural improvements in large distributed systems, with compensation guidance reflecting US market norms.
Qualifications
- Experience improving release workflows, verification processes, or quality gates.
- Ability to spot gaps in test coverage, validation workflows, or release signals and drive systemic improvements.
- Strong engineering mindset for scalable, reliable distributed systems.
Responsibilities
- Lead improvements to the end-to-end simulation release process, ensuring it is predictable, well-defined, and continuously improving.
- Define and drive the simulation-wide quality and test strategy, including shift-left testing, automated validation, and early-signal integration.
- Strengthen release readiness criteria, quality gates, and verification workflows across multiple simulation teams.
- Partner with product teams to reduce regressions, shorten validation cycles, and ensure higher-confidence releases.
- Improve performance, stability, and reliability of simulation frameworks and core tooling used at scale.
- Identify systemic bottlenecks in the simulation stack and deliver architectural improvements that increase throughput and reduce operational friction.
- Enhance simulation exit codes, error attribution, and debugging workflows to improve diagnosability and reduce wasted compute.
- Establish best practices for incident management, improving resilience, recovery time, and overall operational readiness.
- Improve signals, metrics, and monitoring patterns that help teams identify release-related issues earlier and more accurately.
- Collaborate closely with simulation feature teams, infrastructure groups, and platform stakeholders to align on scaling needs and systemic quality improvements.

Job description
The Simulation Scalability team builds the core systems, frameworks, and workflows that ensure simulation runs reliably, efficiently, and at scale. We work across all simulation products and pipelines, addressing systemic issues, improving release quality, and strengthening the foundations that enable teams to iterate quickly and confidently.
Our work spans systems architecture, software engineering, release management, and quality strategy , with a mission to increase reliability, throughput, and operational excellence across the entire simulation ecosystem.
Lead improvements to the end‑to‑end simulation release process, ensuring it is predictable, well‑defined, and continuously improving.
Define and drive the simulation‑wide quality and test strategy,including shift‑left testing, automated validation, and early‑signal integration.
Strengthen release readiness criteria, quality gates, and verification workflows across multiple simulation teams.
Partner with product teams to reduce regressions, shorten validation cycles, and ensure higher‑confidence releases.
Improve the performance, stability, and reliability of simulation frameworks and core tooling used at scale.
Identifysystemic bottlenecks in the simulation stack and deliver architectural improvements that increase throughput and reduce operational friction.
Enhance simulation exit codes, errorattribution, and debugging workflows to improve diagnosability and reduce wasted compute.
Establish and enforcebest practices forsimulationincident management,improving resilience, recovery time, and overall operational readiness.
Improve signals, metrics, and monitoring patterns that help teamsidentifyrelease-related issues earlier and more accurately.
Collaborate closely withsimulationfeature teams, infrastructure groups, and platform stakeholders to align on scaling needs, test coverage gaps, and systemic quality improvements.
Work backward from organizational‑level problems to design solutions that raise simulation quality and reliability across all workflows.
We’relooking for engineers with depth in at least one of the following areas, and interest in growing across the rest:
Experience improving release workflows, verification processes, or quality gates.
Ability to spot gaps in test coverage,validationworkflows, or release signals and drive systemic improvements.
Ability to analyze complex simulation or compute workflows and design scalable, maintainable solutions.
Skilled atidentifyingrecurring failure patterns andeliminatingsystemic causes.
Strong coding fundamentals with experience building production-quality services, frameworks, or tools.
Background improving reliability, performance, or developer experience in distributed systems.
We welcome candidates who bring strongexpertisein one area and are eager to expand into the others.
The compensation information is a good faith estimate only. It is based on what a successful applicant might be paid in accordance with applicable state laws. The compensation may not be representative for positions located outside of New York, Colorado, California, or Washington.
The salary range for this role is $153,200 to $234,100. The actual base salary a successful candidate will be offered within this range will vary based on factors relevant to the position.
Bonus Potential: An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.
