We are seeking an experienced and technically strong Senior Engineering Manager – AI/ML Engineering for the Data Foundations organization of Embodied AI. This role emphasizes day‑to‑day people management, technical guidance, and effective execution. You will contribute to the future of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) development by helping drive the vision and operational excellence of the data flywheel that continuously improves GM’s Foundation AV model performance.
You will manage AI/ML Engineers, support their career growth, and guide the team’s technical direction. In this role, you will collaborate closely with partner teams across the organization, help define best practices for engineering execution, and contribute to building and sustaining a high‑impact, high‑performance team.
About the Team:
The Data Scaling group owns the Data Flywheel for AV Foundation model development and successive fine tuning. It defines the composition of the data that is needed for the AV to learn behaviors at scale and deliver the driving behaviors necessary for the product success. The team owns the definition and processes for data quality across the data loop.
The team directly works on and delivers ML models to the product that successively go up the Data Scaling curves, thereby improving AV performance through smart use of data. As part of this work, the team builds scalable systems and pipelines that attempt to 10x the data used, its diversity and impact on the models with successive major releases. The team uses existing very large datasets that GM has access to internally as well as defines the next generation of highest value datasets that GM continues to collect – both from real driving by GM internal and retail fleets but also synthetic sim-based datasets.
