Descripción

At General Motors, we are building the future of autonomous driving. Simulation is a critical foundation for how we develop, validate, and safely deploy our AV capabilities.

The Role

We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead simulation health, validation, and incident/SEV operations for GM’s enterprise Autonomous Driving Program. You will own the core operational rhythms around simulation reliability (weekly health/ops reviews, SEVs, retros, and Close the Loop), ensuring issues are surfaced quickly, routed correctly, and driven to resolution.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

Own weekly Simulation Validation Ops and Sim Ops Health reviews: ensure docs are ready, the right ticket owners attend, statuses are up to date, and P0s are resolved or have clear mitigation.
Track all active Simulation SEVs and incidents, maintain a central status view, and drive incidents from detection through mitigation and resolution with a focus on reducing sim error rates.
Run and improve the Sim post-mortem / retro process: maintain the schedule, ensure retros use the standard template, convert follow‑ups into Sim CTL Jira items, and track to closure.
Partner with SEO and engineering on the Close the Loop process: ensure complete, high‑quality Jira ticket creation, accurate routing, and live tracking of issue resolution.
Define and maintain KPIs and dashboards for simulation health, SEV/retro follow‑through, and CTL progress, and regularly communicate status and risks to stakeholders and leadership.

Yours Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

10+ years of technical program management experience, including 2+ years in quality, AI/ML, robotics, autonomous systems, or large-scale platform/reliability programs.
BS or MS in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
Proven experience running SEV/incident, reliability, or ops review processes across multiple engineering teams.
Strong systems thinking, data‑driven decision making, and ability to connect metrics and SLAs to day‑to‑day execution.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable influencing across engineering, data, and operations.
Deep familiarity with Agile delivery, Jira, Confluence, and technical development workflows.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotaxis, or other safety‑critical, requirements‑driven domains (e.g., automotive, aerospace, defense).
Background in simulation or test infrastructure, and scaling test creation and health monitoring.
Experience partnering with metrics/SEO teams on error investigation and close‑the‑loop processes.
