Job Description
Description Role Overview The ADS Software Engineer plays a key role in delivering GM's Assisted Driving and Active Safety (ADAS) product portfolio. This role focuses on developing high-quality, production-ready software that enables advanced perception, decision-making, and vehicle control capabilities. Senior-level engineers are expected to demonstrate strong technical leadership, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and drive cross-team initiatives across software, systems, and product domains. GM's Object Fusion and perception capabilities are foundational to autonomous and assisted driving features. The software developed in this role directly enables vehicles to sense their surroundings, respond intelligently, and help keep drivers and passengers safe—advancing GM's mission to deliver autonomy at scale. "GM has long been defined by innovation at massive scale with products you can trust. Our work in autonomy builds on that legacy to deliver safe, intuitive, self-driving technology to millions around the world." - Sterling Anderson Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain
ADS/ADAS
software solutions supporting GM's production and future autonomy platforms Contribute to the Object Fusion pipeline by integrating and fusing data from multiple sensor modalities (e.g., camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonics) to form an accurate and reliable understanding of the driving environment Translate system-level requirements into robust, scalable software architectures and algorithms Lead perception solutions that support multi-disciplinary efforts like planning, controls, validation, and vehicle integration teams Mentor and guide junior engineers through technical reviews, best practices, and hands-on collaboration Drive continuous improvement in software quality, safety, performance, and development processes Support safety-critical development practices aligned with automotive standards and production release requirements Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
