We are integral to the development of GM's ADAS technology. Our products include annotated dataset for machine learning and pareto development, strategic test creation and management, and structured reviews of critical events & simulations to understand the performance of the vehicle onroad and in simulation.

We are looking for a Technical Product Operations Manager who canoversee data products that directly impact the rapid, efficient, and safe operations of autonomy in GM's vehicles.Specifically, this individual will need to become well-versed in GM's simulation and testing space.

This role operates as a high-impact individual contributor, owning critical workflows end-to-end while influencing how work is done across the team. It requires a blend of operational leadership, analytical rigor, and technical depth, and is execution-oriented with significant scope for impact. The role is expected to set the bar for quality, provide guidance to peers, and mentor other ICs through influence, with opportunities to take on additional leadership scope as the organization scales.

Maintain, and evolve issue categories to ensure consistent interpretation and high-quality protocol data through close collaboration with simulation partners.

- 3+ years of experience in consulting, finance, business operations, tech startups, or similarly analytical and strategic environments.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience contributing to strategies and solutions within a complex, rapidly evolving domain, ideally involving data products, operational workflows, or AV-related systems.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to craft clear summaries, present insights, and communicate recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Demonstrated analytical rigor, with experience posing data-driven questions, conducting insightful analysis, and developing or improving metrics and KPIs.
- Experience collaborating across teams with differing priorities, helping drive clarity, shared understanding, and forward progress.
- Comfort switching between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, adapting to evolving needs with sound judgment and EQ.
- Willingness to ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, and surface inconsistencies to improve data quality and operational clarity.
- Familiarity with SQL.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge

5+ years of experience in consulting, finance, business operations, tech startups, or similarly analytical and strategic environments

Proficiency in SQL and Python for data querying and analysis.

Experience supporting ADAS, autonomy, robotics, or complex simulation systems

Familiarity with machine learning data operations, including labeling workflows, test quality frameworks, or quality control processes

About the role

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.

The city

The job is in Sunnyvale, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Sunnyvale compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Sunnyvale is #37 by population, #12 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #15 for household income (#1 = highest), #129 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Santa Clara County, is #1 of 58 counties for average pay ($197,043).

The place in numbers

Sunnyvale has 154,236 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.4% of the population of California. It covers 22 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 6,992 people per square mile. The median age is 35.2, 7% younger than the state median (35.2 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $3,039 a month (rent plus utilities), 49% above the state median ($3,039 against $2,036). Over a year that is 19.6% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,801,800, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($186,170); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.8% of households own their home, 22% below the state average (43.8% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metropolitan area has 1,134,970 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $84,050 a year, 65% above the national median ($84,050 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are computer and mathematical (149,970 jobs, median $186,320); management (115,110 jobs, median $210,750); business and financial operations (94,210 jobs, median $125,240). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (3.9 times) and architecture and engineering (2.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($210,750) and legal ($195,190). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Santa Clara County was 4.2%. 72.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Santa Clara County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 53.7% drive alone, 4.0% use public transit, 1.6% walk, 29.2% work from home. 9.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 54% below the state average (9.0% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

69.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 87% above the state share (69.3% against 37.1%). 50.2% of residents were born outside the United States, 86% above the state share (50.2% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 5.8%, 52% below the state rate (5.8% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 68°F (19.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 47°F (8.3°C). About 510 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (114 mm) and Jul the driest (0 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
