Senior Software Product Engineer, Behavior Validation
General Motors, Mountain View, California, us, 94039
Hybrid:
This role is categorized as hybrid inoffice. Remote requires leadership override and approval.
Role As a Senior Software Product Engineer on the Behavior Validation team within the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) organization, you will play a key role in managing and evolving complex behavior validation products such as the Behavior Validation Scorecard. This role combines strong product-facing responsibilities with technical expertise to ensure that validation tools meet the needs of engineering, safety, and product stakeholders. You will build strong relationships with partner teams—including Embodied AI (EAI), safety, and product management—to align priorities and deliver impactful improvements. You will leverage data-driven approaches, such as Pareto analysis, to prioritize enhancements and guide roadmap decisions for our internal team. Additionally, you will contribute hands-on technical work, including prototyping improvements in Python, to accelerate innovation and ensure scalability.
About the Organization The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) organization is dedicated to advancing the development of autonomous vehicles through cutting-edge simulation technologies and robust validation processes. The Behavior Validation team focuses on enabling software launches and continuous release decisions through data-driven verification and validation strategies. Our collaborative environment fosters innovation and excellence, allowing us to push the boundaries of what is possible in AV testing.
What You’ll Do
Serve as a product-facing systems engineer for the Behavior Validation Scorecard and related tools.
Build and maintain strong relationships with partner teams (EAI, safety, product) to align priorities and requirements.
Use Pareto analysis and other prioritization techniques to identify and rank improvements for validation products.
Collaborate with stakeholders to define roadmaps and success metrics for behavior validation tools.
Prototype technical improvements using Python and related technologies to accelerate feature development.
Ensure that validation products are scalable, reliable, and aligned with AV launch and release decision processes.
Your Skills & Abilities
Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields.
4+ years of experience in systems engineering, software product development, or technical program management.
Strong ability to bridge technical and product domains, translating stakeholder needs into actionable solutions.
Proficiency in Python for prototyping and data analysis.
Experience with data-driven prioritization techniques (e.g., Pareto analysis) and roadmap planning.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to work across diverse teams.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge
Experience managing complex validation or analytics products in safety-critical domains.
Familiarity with autonomous vehicle development, ADAS systems, or robotics.
Strong background in data visualization and reporting tools for communicating priorities and progress.
Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional alignment and deliver impactful product improvements.
Experience with simulation environments and validation frameworks.
