Senior Software Engineer, Autonomy Evaluation

Job Description

General Motors is a global leader in advanced driver assistance. With Super Cruise hands-free technology in more than 500000 Super Cruise-equipped vehicles on the road and over 700 million handsfree miles driven GM is proving that automation can be trusted intuitive and helpful. GM has the global reach to bring cuttingedge advances to everyday drivers at unprecedented scale. Join us to help deliver the next generation of safe and delightful personal autonomous vehicle experiences.

The Evaluation team builds and evolves the evaluation ecosystem that powers developing and scaling GMs autonomous driving technology. We develop metrics automated workflows and analysis approaches that enable data-driven decisions across AV development and verification. Partnering with Autonomy Simulation Systems and Safety teams we act as system-level integrators and arbiters of end-to-end AV quality. We own large scale test scenario libraries continuous evaluation pipelines and critical risk assessment and release gating components treating road testing data mining training and metrics as first-class use cases in a unified analytics framework. By joining this team you will help shape GMs core evaluation platforms turn system-level results into clear feedback and help accelerate validated AV deployment at scale.

What Youll Do

• Architect and implement metrics and analyses to introspect autonomous driving software performance at subsystem interfaces across the autonomy stack; work closely with autonomy developers and system engineers.

• Propose and develop new statistical and ML methods to quantify performance and identify patterns of system and subsystem behavior across diverse scenes and operational domains.

• Develop and apply methods to introspect the operation of ML components in the autonomy stack.

• Create informative interactive results and dashboards that provide rapid insight for development and verification and are routinely used by partner teams.

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 5 years applied experience with robotics or autonomous systems software from sensors and perception through planning and control of the vehicle.

• 3 years evaluating dynamic systems using numerical and ML approaches including time series data state derivatives dynamics and interconnected subsystems.

• Comfort working with C codebases including reading and instrumenting core algorithms.

• Demonstrated technical leadership including driving decisions and influencing architecture.

• PhD Masters or Bachelors degree in Computer Science Robotics Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Machine Learning or a related field.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience in autonomous driving or other field robotics; visualizing and interpreting the results of simulation and field experiments.

• Familiarity with statistical modeling experimental design and hypothesis testing for autonomy evaluation; command of Pandas NumPy SciPy and visualization libraries.

• Proficiency in C and SQL.

• Experience working with ROS or other IPC / robotics stacks log pipelines and large-scale experiment databases.

• Prior development with computational geometry linear algebra PyTorch and machine learning.

• Background in modeling agent interaction and experience contributing to release gating for autonomy systems.
