The Safety Assurance for Effective Autonomous Driving Software (SAFE-ADS) department is part of the Global Product Safety, System, and Certification (GPSSC) organization at GM. This department serves as the central body for automated driving system (ADS) safety and brings together expertise from across the company to establish a comprehensive safety case. GM’s vision is zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion – AV safety is at the heart of driving forward this vision. The AV Safety Strategy and Assessment team is seeking a technical leader with extensive experience in the full end to end development lifecycle for autonomous vehicle behaviors driven by artificial intelligence & machine learning models. As the AV Behavior and AI Safety Principal Engineer, you will need to stay current on industry best practices and standards and guide the development of GM’s AV Behavior Validation and AI safety strategy. This technical leader role requires extensive experience leading the development and implementation of AV Behavior Validation methodologies across a broad range of L4 autonomous features. A successful candidate will also have extensive experience setting the AI safety strategy for engineering development teams that are focused on AI/ML and following through on implementation and validation of safe AI development and deployment practices. If you're passionate about safety, driving innovation through AI/ML and are a proven technical leader, this role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to impactful projects in a dynamic team environment.
