TL;DR · Sr Manager, AV Behavior Safety Engineering (GPSSC)

As Sr Manager of AV Behavior Safety Engineering at General Motors’ SAFE-ADS department, you will lead the strategic development and execution of safety measures for SAE Level 3–4 automated driving systems. Reporting to the AV Safety Strategy and Assurance team, your role involves interpreting standards like ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and ISO 5083 to define GM’s safety case strategy, including claims and sufficiency criteria for behavior validation. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to establish end-to-end validation methodologies and set performance metrics, ensuring the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. Additionally, you will hire and mentor a high-performing team, driving technical depth in AV behavior safety and validation. This role requires expertise in machine learning frameworks such as Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and cloud platforms like Azure or AWS, alongside experience in autonomous vehicle development and AI-driven systems.

What you'll do

  • Lead the strategy for defining, measuring, and validating safety of SAE Level 3 – 4 Automated Driving Systems.
  • Own the behavior-focused portion of the ADS Safety Case, including claims, sufficiency criteria, and evidence recommendations.
  • Set the strategy for breaking down ODDs and validating performance per behavior and in aggregate.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define end-to-end AV behavior validation methodology.
  • Assess AV performance across safety dimensions using simulation, closed-course, and public-road data.
  • Define and run an assurance process to verify sufficiency criteria and support launch readiness.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in autonomous vehicle or robotics development.
  • Extensive experience working on production-intent AV programs.
  • Demonstrated technical safety leadership in defining safety strategies and validation methodologies.
  • Deep understanding of AV behavior development, including ODDs and evaluation criteria.
  • Experience applying AV safety standards such as ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and ISO 5083.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
