State Estimation Engineer - Localization

General Motors Proving Ground

Role Overview 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. As a State Estimation Engineer within the SEAM Embodied AI organization, you will drive cutting‑edge localization and sensor calibration solutions that directly impact autonomous driving performance. Responsibilities Drive the design, development, and deployment of advanced solutions for state estimation, localization, sensor calibration and more. Lead and architect critical infrastructure for validating localization and sensor calibration systems, and for continuously monitoring localization performance on deployed vehicles. Help ensure high software quality by building continuous integration components such as regression test suites and simulation scenarios. Own vital tools used by our teams for prototyping new solutions, debugging on real vehicles, and accelerating development of test infrastructure. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering groups, ensuring seamless integration of localization, sensor alignment, and other capabilities into autonomous vehicle systems. Influence technical roadmaps and shape strategic priorities aligned with company objectives and product milestones. Skills & Abilities Master’s or B.S. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. 3+ years of experience developing and deploying software for real‑time applications and/or cloud infrastructure. 1+ years of background in state estimation and/or sensor calibration. Strong proficiency in C++ and Python, with extensive hands‑on experience with development, integration, and testing tools. Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, comfortable influencing technical strategy and guiding engineering excellence across the organization. Bonus: AV/ADAS experience. Location & Remote Remote: This role is based remotely but if you live within a 50‑mile radius of Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford or MountainView, you are expected to report to that location three times per week, at minimum. Compensation The compensation information is a good faith estimate only.
