As a Sr Staff AV Behavior Safety Engineer at GM’s SAFE-ADS department, you will lead the development of safety strategies and validation methodologies for SAE Level 3–4 Automated Driving Systems. Your role involves interpreting standards like ISO 21448 (SOTIF) to define safety performance indicators and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. You will own the behavior-focused portion of the ADS Safety Case, set strategies for breaking down operational design domains, and assess AV performance using simulation and real-world data. This role requires expertise in machine learning frameworks such as Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure, along with experience in autonomous vehicle development and validation. Your work will significantly impact GM’s mission to deliver safe automated driving systems to millions of customers.

What you'll do

  • Define and interpret safety standards (ISO 21448, ISO 5083) for GM’s ADS development.
  • Own the behavior-focused portion of the ADS Safety Case, including claims and evidence.
  • Set strategy for breaking down ODDs and validating performance per behavior.
  • Collaborate on evaluation metrics and human benchmarks for AV behaviors.
  • Assess AV performance using simulation, closed-course, and public-road data.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years experience in autonomous vehicle or robotics development.
  • Extensive background in machine learning, engineering, and data science.
  • Proven track record of providing technical safety leadership in AV development.
  • Deep understanding of AV behavior development and validation methodologies.
  • Experience applying AV safety standards such as ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and ISO 5083.
  • Strong communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
