Description
The Role
General Motors is seeking a data engineering manager to lead a team responsible for building and operating scalable data products that support engineering vehicle analysis, testing, diagnostics, machine learning, and downstream applications.
This role owns the technical direction, delivery, reliability, and continuous improvement of a cloud-based engineering data platform. The platform brings together large volumes of vehicle test and engineering data from multiple sources and makes it governed, discoverable, and ready for analytics.
The successful candidate will combine people leadership, technical judgment, product-minded execution, stakeholder management, and operational accountability. This leader will build a high-performing team and establish scalable data engineering practices across vehicle engineering and related organizations.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, develop, and inspire a team of data engineers and technical leads.
- Set the roadmap, priorities, and execution strategy for engineering data products.
- Translate engineering, analytics, and machine learning needs into scalable delivery plans.
- Guide data ingestion, processing, transformation, cataloging, quality, and publication.
- Establish reusable patterns for raw, normalized, and analytics-ready data layers.
- Drive data quality, observability, lineage, governance, security, and operational readiness.
- Partner with vehicle engineering, calibration, diagnostics, performance engineering, data science, platform engineering, and product teams.
- Prioritize competing requests and manage scope, dependencies, risks, and delivery commitments.
- Support multiple data formats and high-volume engineering, telemetry, time-series, and test data.
- Promote reusable architecture and reduce duplicate pipelines across engineering organizations.
- Establish production support practices, incident response, runbooks, service health metrics, and continuous improvement.
- Champion automation, infrastructure as code, continuous integration and delivery, testing, and secure cloud deployment.
- Communicate technical strategy, delivery status, tradeoffs, and risks to senior leadership.
- Build strong relationships with internal customers and ensure data products are discoverable and usable.
- Develop talent through coaching, feedback, career planning, and meaningful technical opportunities.
- Lead change management as the platform expands to new data sources, users, and use cases.
