About The Position

The Autonomous Robotics Center (ARC) is a multidisciplinary organization developing the next generation of intelligent, highly automated manufacturing systems for General Motors. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer – Discrete Event Simulation & Optimization to lead the design and implementation of advanced algorithms and simulation capabilities that power GM’s digital factory, production systems, and robotics experiences. You will own end-to-end solutions: from modeling complex systems and building discrete event simulation (DES) models, to developing optimization-based algorithms for routing and scheduling, and delivering performant, production-ready software services that integrate with GM’s internal platforms.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, or a related field; PhD or equivalent experience preferred.
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on algorithms, simulation, or optimization.
  • Strong skills in Python, C++, C#, or similar languages, with a track record of shipping production-quality software.
  • Deep experience implementing and optimizing shortest-path and routing algorithms (e.g., Dijkstra, A, flows, matchings, search on large graphs).
  • Solid expertise in probability, statistics, and stochastic processes applied to modeling and simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation).
  • Experience running large batches of simulations or distributed experiments (cloud or on-prem).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a history of influencing architecture and technical direction.
  • Practical experience with simulation frameworks (e.g., SimPy, AnyLogic, Arena, or custom DES frameworks).

Nice To Haves

  • Experience in full stack software development for graph and/or map systems.
  • Experience in manufacturing, industrial automation, robotics, logistics, or autonomous systems.
  • Background in operations research (e.g., linear/integer programming, constraint programming, or meta-heuristics).
  • Familiarity with digital twins, 3D/physics-based simulation, or factory/warehouse simulation tools.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement core algorithms for discrete event simulation, scheduling, routing, graph-based modeling, and system optimization.
  • Build and maintain DES models of complex systems (e.g., production lines, AMR flows, logistics networks), including event logic, resources, and KPIs.
  • Build and run large-scale simulation experiments and translate results into actionable recommendations for throughput, cost, and reliability improvements.
  • Develop and maintain core data structures and services for maps, graphs, and spatial databases.
  • Develop production-quality software (primarily in Python and C#) and expose capabilities via stable APIs and internal tools.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, robotics, data, and platform engineering) to connect models with real-world telemetry and digital twins.
  • Define and champion best practices for algorithm design, simulation modeling, testing, and observability.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership on algorithms, modeling, and software design.
