General Motors
About the role
GM’s simulation team is looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer to be a key technical leader in our mission to deliver autonomous driving technologies safely. This is a high-impact role where your work directly enables the validation of our most complex AI-driven systems.
Responsibilities
Technical Vision : Define the architectural roadmap for our Simulation Scenario Definition platform and/or its programmatic Python SDK.
Scalable Tooling : Lead the design and implementation of our next-generation graphical editing tools used by hundreds of engineers to precisely define complex traffic, environment, and sensor scenarios.
Performance & Infrastructure : Drive the evolution of our Python infrastructure, focusing on core algorithms for scenario serialization, validation, and integration with our large-scale cloud compute cluster.
Mentorship : Act as a hands‑on mentor, setting the engineering excellence standard for API design, code quality, and testing practices across the team.
Requires Qualifications
5+ years
of professional experience in software development, with a significant portion focused on large-scale platforms, tooling, or SDK development.
Proven ability to
lead technical architecture
and drive complex, multi‑quarter projects from concept to production.
Strong experience with
front-end engineering
for sophisticated graphical applications (e.g., using modern frameworks like React, Vue, or a lower‑level library like WebGL/Three.js).
Expert‑level proficiency in
Python , including deep knowledge of best practices, performance optimization, and building robust APIs/SDKs for external consumers.
Solid foundation in
3D graphics, computational geometry, and/or real‑time simulation concepts .
A track record of
mentoring and coaching
mid‑level and senior engineers, raising the technical bar, and driving code quality standards within a team.
Desired Skills (Bonus Points)
Experience with
C++
for performance‑critical components or integration with simulation engines.
Direct experience developing or extending a
Domain‑Specific Language (DSL)
or high‑level scripting language.
Background in
game engines
(e.g., Unity, Unreal) or other professional simulation software.
Experience in
data visualization
techniques for large, complex datasets.
Familiarity with the architecture of
Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology
(e.g., perception, planning, controls) or other complex robotics/safety‑critical systems.
Company Vehicle: Upon successful completion of a motor vehicle report review, you will be eligible to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program, through which you will be assigned a General Motors vehicle to drive and evaluate. Note: program participants are required to purchase/lease a qualifying GM vehicle every four years unless one of a limited number of exceptions applies.
