Staff Product Manager For Simulation Validation For ADAS

Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. The successful candidate is expected to report to the GM Global Technical Center in Warren, MI or Mountain View, CA three times per week, at minimum.

The Role: General Motors pioneers the innovations that move and connect people to what matters. We see a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. As we move toward this vision, software plays an integral role as it becomes more prominent in our vehicles.

As a Staff Product Manager for Simulation Validation for ADAS, you will define and execute the strategy and roadmap for enabling high-fidelity, scalable and trustworthy Simulation based testing of the ADAS features deployed in GM cars. These are high priority production features with limited offline validation coverage today. This role will drive innovation in how we leverage Simulation to reduce the time to assess the safety and overall performance of the ADAS feature across the GM fleet of cars. You'll lead cross-functional efforts to drive alignment and roadmap across Simulation, AV Engineering, Systems Engineering and Safety teams.

Success requires strong technical judgment, principled decision-making, and the ability to build alignment across engineering, product, infrastructure, and operations teams. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, making tough tradeoffs, and thinking both from first principles and at fleet-wide scale.

• 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.
