描述
At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly experienced and technically adept Senior Engineering Manager - AI/ML Engineering to lead our Data Foundations teams within the Embodied AI organization. This is a people leadership role with technical depth. You will be instrumental in shaping the future of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) development by setting the vision for and leading a dedicated team that owns the data flywheel for continuously improving GM’s Foundation AV model performance. You will manage senior AI/ML Engineers and Engineering Managers, set the technical vision of the Data Scaling teams, collaborate with and set direction for partner teams across the organization. You will set best practices for technical execution, grow technical leaders in the team and continue to build and uplevel a very high impact team.
About the Team:
The Data Scaling group owns the Data Flywheel for AV Foundation model development and successive fine tuning. It defines the composition of the data that is needed for the AV to learn behaviors at scale and deliver the driving behaviors necessary for the product success. The team owns the definition and processes for data quality across the data loop.
The team directly works on and delivers ML models to the product that successively go up the Data Scaling curves, thereby improving AV performance through smart use of data. As part of this work, the team builds scalable systems and pipelines that attempt to 10x the data used, its diversity and impact on the models with successive major releases. The team uses existing very large datasets that GM has access to internally as well as defines the next generation of highest value datasets that GM continues to collect – both from real driving by GM and retail fleets, but also synthetic sim-based datasets.
