Job Description
GM has more than 500,000 Super Cruise–equipped vehicles on the road and over 700 million hands-free miles driven. We're now building the next generation of autonomous driving, starting with eyes-off driving on the highway and growing toward point-to-point autonomy. The goal is autonomy that is safe, reliable, comfortable, and scalable across GM's vehicle portfolio.
Autonomy Evaluation helps the AV program figure out where the driver still falls short. Every mile our vehicles drive, on the road or in simulation, carries that signal. We turn it into answers: what is limiting the system, how big each problem is, and what fixing it is worth. Those answers steer what GM's autonomy teams build next and inform software release decisions.
Subsystem Evaluation is one of four teams in Eval Applications, the part of Autonomy Evaluation that turns evaluation into decisions. Each autonomy team measures its own component, usually by accuracy against labels. We answer the question those metrics can't: how much does each subsystem's error actually affect driving? We build metrics for planning, perception, prediction, and localization, including learned components, that reflect their effect on the drive. We also trace driving failures back to the subsystem or interaction that caused them.
As Manager of Subsystem Evaluation, you'll lead a team of engineers and data scientists and own its roadmap, execution, and staffing. The work is concrete. One example is showing which perception errors change what the car does and which don't. Another is ranking the subsystem failures behind a drop in driving quality, so the right team fixes the right thing first. You'll work with the autonomy teams that use these metrics, with the Driver Performance and Scenario Classification teams, and with the principal and staff engineers who lead evaluation methodology. You'll report to the Senior Manager of Eval Applications.
Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as Remote/hybrid. Remote: This role is based remotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of [Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford, Sunnyvale, CA ], you are expected to report to that location three times per week, at minimum.
Compensation: The compensation information is a good faith estimate only. It is based on what a successful applicant might be paid in accordance with applicable state laws. The compensation may not be representative for positions located outside of the California Bay Area.
Company Vehicle: Upon successful completion of a motor vehicle report review, you will be eligible to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program, through which you will be assigned a General Motors vehicle to drive and evaluate. Note: program participants are required to purchase/lease a qualifying GM vehicle every four years unless one of a limited number of exceptions applies.
