The Role

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead test creation strategy and execution for GM’s enterprise Autonomous Driving Program. This role is instrumental in building and maintaining test products for high velocity development of an AV stack and release validation for on-road deployment.

In this highly cross-functional role, you will lead the end-to-end development of simulation tests – from architecture and safety requirements through model development, data labeling, and continuous iteration – while partnering closely with technical and operational stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity to shape a foundational program within a fast-paced autonomy initiative at enterprise scale.

What You’ll Do

• Own the roadmap and execution for Simulation Test Creation and Metrics Evaluation for AV driving behaviors.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, development, and operations teams to ensure program alignment.

• Define and monitor KPIs, program metrics, and validation milestones to ensure test quality, confidence in simulation testing, and timely delivery for ML development.

• Proactively identify risks and blockers across software, validation, and operations, and drive real-time mitigation plans.

• Lead program reviews with technical and executive stakeholders between GM and external partners.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 10+ years of technical program management experience, including 2+ years working on quality, AI/ML, robotics, or autonomous systems

• BS or MS in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field

• Proven track record of managing complex cross-functional programs involving hardware, embedded software, and test pipelines

• Strong systems thinking with ability to connect high-level architecture to on-the-ground execution details

• Exceptional communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills

• Deep familiarity with Agile program delivery, Jira, Confluence, and technical development workflows

What will give you a competitive edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience working on robotaxi or autonomous vehicle programs

• Background in automotive, aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical, requirements-driven industries

• Prior experience scaling test creation infrastructure
