Job Description
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
Are you ready to redefine mobility and shape the future of autonomous transportation? As a Staff Research Scientist specializing in Vision-Language Models (VLMs), Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs), and Onboard Foundational Models, you will advance the frontier of artificial intelligence to solve the most challenging problems in autonomous driving.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between large-scale multimodal foundational AI and real-time physical systems. You will lead the design, training, and optimization of state-of-the-art models that allow vehicles to deeply understand complex visual scenes, reason through open-ended scenarios, and translate multimodal inputs directly into safe, actionable driving decisions.
Crucially, your work will focus not just on cloud-scale intelligence, but on pioneering the techniques required to compress, quantize, and deploy these massive architectures directly onto resource-constrained onboard vehicle hardware. You will help shape strategic technical directions, mentor a world-class team of engineers, and represent our organization at top global artificial intelligence conferences.
Demonstrated research impact in AI/ML technologies either through important publications in top conferences or demonstrated contribution to industry leading systems.
AV/ADAS experience
Remote: This role is based remotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of Mountain View, you are expected to report to that location three times a week, at minimum.
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 $218,800.00 to $335,300.00. 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.
We believe we all must make a choice every day – individually and collectively – to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture. Every day, we want every employee to feel they belong to one General Motors team.
