Descripción de la vacante

General Motors is seeking a Staff Software Engineer - Robotics to architect and maintain physics-grade simulation infrastructure for manipulation, perception, SLAM and navigation validation. You will own the roadmap toward virtual commissioning and digital twin capabilities, partnering with robotics, AI, and test teams to drive validation before hardware is involved.

You will build a robust simulation environment, model robot platforms with accurate dynamics, and implement sensor models with

Formación

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 4+ years building or operating robotics simulation.
• Experience validating real robot behavior against simulation and closing the gap.
• Experience supporting other teams as an infrastructure owner.
• MS degree or higher in Robotics, CS, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Equivalent industry experience with demonstrated simulation depth can be considered.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.

Responsabilidades

• Build and own our simulation environment for manipulation, perception and navigation validation.
• Model robot platforms with physically accurate dynamics, kinematics, and actuation.
• Implement sensor models for RGB-D cameras, LiDAR and other sensors with realistic noise.
• Build scene and facility authoring tooling, including CAD import paths.
• Integrate simulation into CI so scenario coverage runs on every release.
• Support the AI team with simulation for data generation and policy evaluation.
• Drive the virtual commissioning and digital twin roadmap, including workcell import and collaborative authoring.
• Quantify and document where simulation diverges from hardware to maintain confidence.
