Overview
Senior Robot Application Engineer
Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the Warren Technical Center in Warren, MI three times per week, at minimum. The Role
The Robotics Software team is pioneering the next generation of autonomous robotic systems, focusing on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent robotic platforms. We develop full-stack robotics capabilitiesfrom perception and planning to control and system integrationbringing innovative, real-world autonomous solutions to the future of the work. We are seeking a highly skilled and self-driven Senior Robot Application Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and validation of end-to-end robotic application software. This role is pivotal in shaping the architecture and deployment of diagnostics and web-based applications for autonomous robotic platforms. The ideal candidate will possess strong software programming skills, hands-on production experience, and the ability to independently deliver robust, scalable solutions. You will work cross-functionally with experts in autonomy, contributing to system-level validation and the continuous improvement of system robustness and validation workflows. What You'll Do
Architect and implement full-stack robotic applications, including diagnostics and web interfaces. Design and develop software components for autonomous robotic systems, focusing on system-level integration and validation. Lead the development of diagnostics frameworks and web-based tools for monitoring and control. Collaborate cross-functionally with autonomy, perception, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration and performance. Conduct system-level testing in both simulation and real-world environments. Own the full software lifecycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and documentation. Provide technical mentorship and contribute to team-wide best practices in software development and system design. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. 5+ years of experience in robotics software development, with a focus on diagnostics, system integration, or web applications. Proficiency in C++ / Python, and modern software development practices (e.g., CI/CD, Git, Docker). Experience with ROS2, diagnostics frameworks, and web technologies (e.g., NGINX, REST APIs). Strong understanding of sensor integration and system-level software architecture. Demonstrated ability to work independently and lead complex technical projects from concept to deployment. Strong communication skills and experience working with cross-functional teams. What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
Experience with cloud-based diagnostics and monitoring systems. Experience with sensor calibration development. Exposure to industrial automation or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Compensation: 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 $141,000-$190,000. 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. Benefits: GM offers a variety of health and wellbeing benefit programs.
