Employer job description
From General Motors's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Job Description
General Motors is developing hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving systems intended for broad deployment across consumer vehicles. As part of this effort, GM is investing in sensors and architectures that can be integrated, validated, and operated reliably at scale across diverse vehicle programs and operating environments.
We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join the AV Sensing Design team to contribute to defining how autonomous sensing systems are architected and integrated across GM’s autonomy programs. This role focuses on system‑level decisions at the intersection of sensors, embedded software, vehicle platforms, and autonomy software, ensuring that sensing solutions are technically sound, aligned with product intent, and executable in production.
In this position, you will perform system‑level trade studies and support the definition of multi-modality sensor suites spanning camera, radar, lidar, and more. You will work closely with AI/ML, platform software, and vehicle integration teams to address real engineering challenges. The role is intended for engineers who are comfortable operating with autonomy, applying first‑principles and physics-based analysis, and delivering robust technical contributions as systems mature from early development into deployed solutions.
What You’ll Do
You will get the opportunity to contribute to one or more of the following:
- Execute system-level trade studies for the design of multi-modality sensor systems supported by detailed modeling of performance and AV behavioral impacts
- Develop detailed performance specifications for sensors supported by a strong understanding of sensor physics and signal processing.
- Assess performance against product needs to assess risk, quantify impact, and drive continuous improvement
- Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders such as simulation, vehicle integration, perception, localization, and validation teams to manage complex interdependencies.
- Clearly document technical decisions, trade‑offs, and deliverables.
- Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
- 5+ years of experience with B.S. with sensor experience
- Experience supporting sensor analysis, integration, and cross‑domain technical initiatives
- Technical depth in signal processing, link analysis, data analysis, or ML across at least one relevant sensing modality
- Understand of the challenges of self-driving, and how those map to sensor needs
- Demonstrated ability to contribute effectively in complex problem spaces and collaborate across teams
- Experience with Matlab, Python, or other language to support data analysis and analysis tooling development
