As a Staff Product Manager for Synthetic Data, you will define and execute the strategy and roadmap for enhancing the trust in Synthetic data used to create GMs next generation autonomy. This role will drive innovation in how we utilize and scale Synthetic Data to provide training data and insights faster to the autonomy development and validation teams.

• Communicate very technically complex information in an easy-to-understand narrative to stakeholders across GM.

• Help drive a data-driven culture and establish and monitor key metrics to
  measure the effectiveness of Synthetic Data, including:

• Establishing quality frameworks and "is this good enough?" criteria.

• Define and track KPIs that show the impact of synthetic data on model performance and program outcomes

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 5+ years product management experience.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related fields

• Solid understanding of the latest Simulation platforms, ML orchestration infrastructure and validation workflows.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive projects forward, even without a clear path.

• Strong sense of accountability and ownership

• Proven ability to balance tradeoffs between user needs and
  expectations, technical requirements and constraints and business objectives.

• Demonstrated expertise in writing, with the ability to effectively balance and integrate vision, strategy, and technical details in a cohesive narrative.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• An MBA or a master's Degree in a technical or engineering discipline

• Experience working on Autonomous Vehicles, ML infrastructure, or large-scale simulation/testing.

• Exposure to synthetic data generation, simulation, or domain adaptation for perception or behavior models.

• Track record building trust with staff/principal engineers through transparent roadmaps and honest communication.
