Staff Sensor Systems Engineer

General Motors is developing hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving systems intended for broad deployment across consumer vehicles. As part of this effort, GM is investing in sensor platforms and system architectures that can be integrated, validated, and operated reliably at scale across diverse vehicle programs and operating environments. We are seeking a staff systems engineer to join the Sensor Systems Engineering & Architecture team to provide technical leadership in defining how autonomous sensing systems are architected and integrated across GM's autonomy programs. This role focuses on system-level decisions at the intersection of sensors, embedded software, vehicle platforms, and autonomy software, ensuring that sensing solutions are technically sound, aligned with product intent, and executable in production. In this position, you will lead system-level trade studies, define sensor systems spanning camera, radar, and lidar, and work closely with perception, platform software, and vehicle integration teams to address real engineering challenges. The role is intended for engineers who are comfortable operating in ambiguity, applying first-principles analysis alongside practical constraints, and providing steady technical direction as systems mature from early development into deployed solutions.
