Senior Systems Engineer

Job Description

General Motors is developing hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving systems intended for broad deployment across consumer vehicles. As part of this effort GM is investing in sensors and architectures that can be integrated validated and operated reliably at scale across diverse vehicle programs and operating environments.

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join the AV team to contribute to defining how autonomous sensing systems are architected and integrated across GMs autonomy programs. This role focuses on systemlevel decisions at the intersection of sensors embedded software vehicle platforms and autonomy software ensuring that sensing solutions are technically sound aligned with product intent and executable in production.

In this position you will perform systemlevel trade studies and support the definition of multi-modality sensor suites spanning camera radar lidar and more. You will work closely with AI/ML platform software and vehicle integration teams to address real engineering challenges. The role is intended for engineers who are comfortable operating with autonomy applying firstprinciples and physics-based analysis and delivering robust technical contributions as systems mature from early development into deployed solutions.

What Youll Do

You will get the opportunity to contribute to one or more of the following:

• Execute system-level trade studies for the design of multi-modality sensor systems supported by detailed modeling of performance and AV behavioral impacts

• Develop detailed performance specifications for sensors supported by a strong understanding of sensor physics and signal processing.
• Assess performance against product needs to assess risk quantify impact and drive continuous improvement

• Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders such as simulation vehicle integration perception localization and validation teams to manage complex interdependencies.

• Clearly document technical decisions tradeoffs and deliverables.

Your Skills & Abilities

• Bachelors degree in Systems Electrical Software Mechanical Engineering or a related technical work equivalent experience

• Experience supporting system architecture integration and crossdomain technical initiatives.

• Experience working with sensing systems (camera radar lidar or similar) their usage and integration.

• 5 years of experience in a sensor intensive field systems engineering/architecture autonomy or other related field.

• Experience in requirements development interface definition integration and validation.

• Technical depth in signal processing link analysis or ML across at least one relevant sensing modality.
• Understanding of the challenges of self-driving and how those map to sensor needs
• Demonstrated ability to contribute effectively in complex problem spaces and collaborate across teams.
• Experience with Matlab Python or other language to support data analysis and analysis tooling development.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Masters degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.

• Experience working on L4 (or equivalent) autonomous vehicle programs or advanced remote sensing platforms.

• Experience developing debugging or integrating embedded or systemslevel software.

• Significant experience with automotive autonomy focused lidars and/or radars.

• Experience with requirements management tools such as JAMA or DNG.

• Experience with system/component validation including vehicle testing HIL/SIL simulation and largescale data analysis
