Job Description

The AV HIL Software Platforms team in the GM Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Organization is responsible to develop and scale high-fidelity and reliable Hardware-in-Loop validation platforms to test AV software prior to deployment, to ensure enterprise usability, end-user functionality, and provide high quality, use case driven signals, such as AV Performance Validation and AV System Reliability.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the AV HIL Software Platforms Team, you get to be at the intersection of AV software and AI models, and the hardware systems that are responsible for vehicle autonomy! You will have an opportunity to work on what it takes to run, deploy, and test on the next generation of GM AVs.

This is a highly collaborative team with close collaboration with various teams within the core AV organization including AV Infrastructure, Embodied AI, AV/AI Platform, Model Deployment, Middleware, OS, Sensor Applications, and Vehicle Integration. This role blends expertise in Software development, software optimization, managing and deploying HIL Services as a PaaS, and hardware-aware engineering.

What you’ll be doing (Responsibilities)

• Define and drive the long-term technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap for AV HIL software platforms and integration services across multiple products, programs, and development organizations.
• Lead the design and evolution of highly scalable, reliable, observable, and hardware-aware HIL capabilities that support AV software validation from development through deployment.
• Establish architectural direction and technical standards for platform services, APIs, service reliability, test automation, performance, and operational excellence.
• Own the most complex, ambiguous, and business-critical technical problems spanning AV software, AI models, vehicle hardware, infrastructure, middleware, operating systems, and deployment pipelines.
• Translate organizational and customer needs into clear technical strategies, measurable outcomes, platform requirements, and incremental delivery plans.
• Influence technical decisions across the AV organization and build alignment among senior technical leaders, product stakeholders, and partner teams.
• Deliver reliable software and platforms through strong engineering practices, including requirements generation, design reviews, continuous integration, automated testing, observability, issue management, release readiness, and operational support.
• Identify opportunities to improve platform scalability, utilization, fidelity, developer productivity, and cost efficiency; define success metrics and drive sustained improvements.
• Serve as a hands-on technical leader who contributes to critical software designs and implementations while raising the engineering quality of the broader organization.
• Mentor and develop engineers across experience levels, strengthen technical communities of practice, and help shape hiring and talent-development strategies.
• Represent AV HIL Software Platforms in cross-functional architecture reviews and technical planning forums, communicating complex trade-offs clearly to technical…
