At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.
Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
The Role
General Motors is dedicated to enhancing product safety through driver performance safety research relative to advanced crash avoidance technologies and crash protection strategies. The Global Product Safety, Systems, and Certification organization is looking for a proactive "Driver Performance Project Engineer" to lead safety strategy studies and develop requirements for virtual controls, requiring a high degree of creativity, initiative, collaboration, and independent judgment.
As GM accelerates the move to virtualize more physical controls into screen-based Human–Machine Interfaces (HMI), this role:
-
Interfaces with multiple internal and external entities (Safety, OnStar, Marketing, Planning, Alliance, Government, Universities, User Experience, Driver Workload Lab etc.).
The core scope of this role is the safety and regulatory robustness of virtualized controls, informed by strong understanding of driver interaction, workload, and in vehicle user experience, and embedded early in vehicle development so that safety and regulatory constraints drive architecture, not late fixes.
Regulatory, Certification, Industry Alignment
-
Translate these expectations into clear safety requirements and constraints for virtualized implementations of traditional physical controls (e.g., lighting, defrost/defog, climate, key driving and visibility functions).
