Work arrangement: Remote: This role is based remotely but if you live within a 50-mile radius of [Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford or Mountain View], you are expected to report to that location three times per week, at minimum. The Safety Assurance for Effective Autonomous Driving Software (SAFE-ADS) department is part of GM's Global Product Safety, System, and Certification organization. Our mission is to help GM deliver trustworthy automated-driving products. As the central authority for automated driving system safety, SAFE-ADS brings together experts from across the company to develop and maintain a comprehensive safety case, including safety performance indicators for GM's automated-driving technologies. GM's vision is zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion, and autonomous vehicle safety is essential to achieving that vision. The AV Safety Engineering Analytics team supports safety-related decision-making across GM by developing analytics, metrics, and evidence from vehicle, simulation, and external data sources. The team supports both proactive safety monitoring and targeted investigations, and works across stakeholder groups to support engineering, validation, verification, and program decisions by turning complex technical data into usable guidance.
Job Responsibility
Define, prototype, and productionize safety and performance metrics for automated driving systems
Establish analytic approaches and sufficiency criteria that support safety assessment, development decisions, and launch readiness
Support proactive safety monitoring and targeted investigations tied to specific system-performance or safety questions
Support systems, safety, testing, and verification stakeholders by comparing real-world and simulation-based results, identifying gaps, and helping improve the representativeness of evaluation methods
Apply engineering and physics-based methods to process raw signals and derive meaningful representations of vehicle motion, driving context, and system behavior
Distinguish sensor or pipeline errors from meaningful real-world outliers using engineering judgment and data validation methods
Create interactive visualizations and reporting artifacts that communicate safety insights clearly, enhance transparency, and reduce barriers to interrogating source data in support of technical decision-making
Build and maintain analytics infrastructure that supports safety assurance across development, validation, and deployment
Develop reliable pipelines that ingest, transform, analyze, and publish data from vehicle systems, internal databases, simulation outputs, and external sources
Optimize analytics code and workflows for scalable, automated cloud execution
Requirements
