Job Description

Role As a Senior System Performance Engineer on GM's AV System Performance Team, you will design, build, and optimize reliable, high-performance software components within General Motors' Autonomous Vehicle (AV) software stack. You will develop frameworks and tooling that enable AV engineering teams to meet realtime performance requirements across current and future compute platforms. In this role, you will drive performance-focused engineering efforts within your product area, contribute to technical direction, and elevate engineering practices through hands-on implementation and collaboration. You will also play a key role in improving how we monitor, understand, and resolve performance critical issues across AV software systems.

Job Responsibility

  • Collaborate with performance leads and partner engineering teams to align on performance requirements, development practices, and improvement opportunities
  • Lead performance-focused engineering initiatives with moderate ambiguity and cross-team collaboration
  • Contribute to the roadmap for performance tooling, frameworks, and methodologies that support efficient and scalable AV software development
  • Evaluate and prototype new tools, techniques, and technologies to improve runtime performance and developer workflows
  • Design, implement, and maintain tools and automated systems that support performance analysis, debugging, and continuous monitoring
  • Apply and help improve performance engineering standards, processes, and best practices at the team level
  • Analyze software behavior, identify performance bottlenecks, and collaborate with product teams to propose and implement optimizations
  • Mentor junior engineers on performance profiling, optimization strategies, and engineering best practices

Requirements

  • Minimum 3+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Hands-on programming experience with C++ and Python
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture and system-level software fundamentals
  • Proven experience with performance profiling, analysis, tuning, and optimization
  • Experience developing or optimizing high-performance software, ideally for heterogeneous compute environments (e.g., GPUs, DSPs, or accelerators)
  • Familiarity with industry benchmarks and workloads (e.g., MLPerf)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical decisions within a team or product area
  • Ability to lead projects through ambiguity and deliver results end to end
  • BS, MS in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of GPU performance, OS/driver internals, or systems-level software stacks
  • Experience with AI/ML applications or inference software
  • Background with real-time operating systems
  • Experience developing or optimizing software for safety critical systems
