About the Organization
The Evaluation team builds and evolves the evaluation ecosystem that powers the development and scaling of GM's autonomous driving technology. We develop metrics, automated workflows, and analysis approaches that enable data-driven decisions across AV development and verification. Partnering with Autonomy, Simulation, Systems, and Safety teams, we act as system-level integrators and arbiters of end-to-end AV quality.
We own large-scale test scenario libraries, continuous evaluation pipelines, and critical risk assessment and release-gating components, treating road testing, data mining, training, and metrics as first-class use cases in a unified analytics framework. By joining this team, you will help shape GM's core evaluation platforms, turn system-level results into clear feedback for engineering and leadership, and help accelerate validated AV deployment at scale.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities)
Architect and implement metrics and analyses to introspect autonomous driving software performance at interfaces across the autonomy stack; partner closely with autonomy developers and systems engineers.
Design and implement analysis algorithms that summarize, aggregate, and cluster metrics produced by simulations and on-road runs of the autonomy stack.
Propose and develop new statistical and ML methods to quantify performance and identify patterns of system and subsystem behavior across diverse scenes and operational domains.
Develop and apply methods to introspect the operation of ML components in the autonomy stack, including evaluation of perception, prediction, and planning models.
Build and maintain autonomy evaluation dashboards and interactive reports that provide clear, explainable insights (e.g., trend analysis, drift detection, scenario coverage) for development, verification, and leadership.
Leverage vision-language models (VLMs) and large language models (LLMs), where appropriate, to classify autonomy performance, identify critical scenarios, and prioritize validation efforts, integrating human-in-the-loop review where needed.
Maintain a high technical standard through thoughtful system design, code reviews, testing, observability, and adherence to software-engineering best practices.
Interface with cross-organizational partners to articulate requirements, resolve handoff issues, and share best practices around evaluation, metrics, and experiment design.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
5+ years of applied experience with robotics or autonomous systems software (e.g., sensors, perception, prediction, planning, or control), data analysis, ML evaluation, or autonomy analytics.
3+ years evaluating dynamic systems using numerical and/or ML approaches, including time-series data, state derivatives, dynamics, and interconnected subsystems.
Strong proficiency developing Python in production team environments, including testing, performance, and code review.
Proficiency with Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and plotting/visualization libraries for large-scale data analysis and reporting.
Comfort working with C++ codebases, including reading, debugging, and instrumenting core algorithms.
A strong curiosity to question anomalous data and systematically root-cause discrepancies.
Demonstrated technical leadership, including driving architectural decisions, influencing cross-team designs, and owning complex features or services end-to-end.
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in C omputer Science, Robotics, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
Experience in a utonomous driving or field robotics, including visualizing and interpreting results from simulation and field experiments.
Experience evaluating robotics or AV systems using sensor data (e.g., camera, lidar, radar) and large-scale time-series analysis.
Strong intuition for data visualization and the ability to decompose high-dimensional metrics into clear, trustworthy, and consumable views for technical and non-technical audiences.
Familiarity with statistical modeling, experimental design, and hypothesis testing for autonomy or simulation evaluation; fluency with Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and visualization tools.
Proficiency in C++ and SQL; experience shaping logging, data schemas, and evaluation pipelines for large-scale autonomy testing and performance monitoring.
Experience working with ROS or similar robotics/IPC frameworks, log pipelines, and large-scale experiment databases or evaluation platforms.
Prior development experience with computational geometry, linear algebra, PyTorch, and ML techniques applied to perception, prediction, planning, or control.
Background in modeling agent interaction and contributing to release gating and safety decisions for autonomy systems.
Experience leveraging AI-assisted development and analytics tools to improve productivity and evaluation coverage.

About the role
This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Software engineering) at General Motors. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.
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.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
The listing is remote or has no US state we could identify. Read the country guide for pay, taxes, law and cost of living by state.
