Why join us?
General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles.

Our ambition in Software & Services Product Management is to build a world-class software development culture that is part of the company’s shared vision. We are creating an elite portfolio of software-defined vehicles by tightly integrating software, hardware, and services to create complete and compelling vehicle experiences for our customers.

The Role

As Senior Manager, Software Engineering – Experience Prototyping, Vehicle Product Management you will lead the Experience Prototyping engineering team responsible for defining and delivering next‑generation software experiences across web, mobile, and embedded platforms—both in and outside the vehicle. This role reports to the Director, Experience Prototyping – Vehicle Product Management, with a dotted‑line relationship to the mainline Software Engineering organization.

You will be responsible for multiple leaders, and their engineering teams, who rapidly build functional prototypes and technical experiments that inform product roadmaps, requirements, and platform investments. Our team collaborates across product management, hardware engineering prototyping and design to ensure that the experiences we prototype are aligned with user needs, technical realities, and GM’s strategic goals.

While your primary focus is on strategy, people leadership, and outcomes, you are expected to be a hands-on leader with deep software engineering and architecture skills. This role requires a strong technical foundation across front and back-end technologies, cloud-based services, AI/ML, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and a passion for disciplined innovation at scale
