Staff Product Manager - Simulation Evaluation Applications Infrastructure

Description

The Role

General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Autonomous vehicles are central to achieving this vision—where long‑term innovation meets safety, customer trust, and durable competitive advantage.

The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Product Management organization is responsible for defining and delivering GM’s autonomous driving roadmap—from near‑term customer value to long‑term eyes‑off autonomy at scale. Our mission is to deploy autonomy deliberately and profitably across GM’s portfolio, leveraging common platforms, data, and disciplined product strategy to improve safety, unlock new customer value, and create sustainable business outcomes globally.

As a Staff Product Manager for Evaluation Applications, you will define and execute the strategy and roadmap for our test and evaluation platform that powers data mining, test case and suite management, test triggering and execution, and self-service analysis workflows across GMs’ next generation autonomy teams. This role will drive innovation in how we manage and scale evaluation workflows end to end — from mining relevant segments, onboarding and organizing millions of scenarios to triggering tens of thousands of tests per request and supporting the infrastructure that transforms raw results into meaningful performance insights. You will enable high-fidelity, scalable, and trustworthy testing and analysis of GM’s next-generation autonomy and ADAS features by providing a unified platform.  

Success requires strong technical judgment, principled decision-making, and the ability to build alignment across engineering, product, infrastructure, and operations teams. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, making tough tradeoffs, and thinking both from first principles and at fleet-wide scale 

What You’ll Do

Lead a cross-functional team of stakeholders encompassing Embodied AI, Software Validation, Safety, Program, and Product Managers towards highly scalable, reliable and insightful end-to-end evaluation platform.  

Act as the voice of the customers from the multiple internal GM teams across development to validation, ensuring evaluation applications not just meet the needs of the customers but delight them by pushing the envelope on the insights that are possible and their scale. 

Help drive a data-driven culture and establish and monitor key metrics to  
measure the effectiveness of the Simulation Evaluation products
