Senior Software Systems Engineer, Autonomous Vehicles - Metrics & Evaluation

The Role

You will be part of a team that drives systematic and data-driven improvements to the Autonomous Vehicle software by designing, implementing, and maintaining robust processes for evaluation and validation of our AVs. To achieve this objective, we are looking for a highly motivated individual with excellent analytical skills to own end to end execution, methodology improvements and insight articulation/communication to ensure high-quality evaluation and release of our End-to-End ML Stack.

In this position, you will work closely with AI/ML Engineers, Simulation Engineers, Systems Engineers, Product Managers to identify, analyze, monitor and prioritize the most important signals to assess performance of our ML based stack leveraging simulation and on-road data and building scalable processes to evaluate compliance to our KPIs.

If you're interested in having a major impact on accelerating AV Behavioral Evaluation assessment on ML-driven autonomy through creative problem solving, let's chat!

What you’ll be doing:

• Define an AV evaluation process that spans from initial conception through implementation, ensuring it is applied to the release of our end-to-end (E2E) ML stack.

• Provide hands-on implementation of infrastructure solutions to assess AV performance from ELT tooling at GM from simulation and on-road data.

• Proactively scope and identify metrics needed to improve our evaluation workflows and devise paths for implementation if not available.

• Contribute to automated triage strategies for AV deficiencies in an End-to-End stack architecture and present findings to relevant stakeholders.

• Articulate insights, summaries and recommendations to AV developers and executives based on continuous analysis of AV performance.

• Define and maintain scalable processes to identify, monitor and improve evaluation KPIs as definition of success of evaluation initiatives.

• Map and articulate link between continuous improvement processes with the product safety case and compliance with safety standards.

What you must have:

• Strong Python and SQL programming

• Strong skills in high quality SW Development using AI tools

• Prior knowledge and implementation of ELT pipelines for product quality analysis

• Experience with GitHub and Jira or equivalent tools

• Strong problem-solving skills - End to End ownership from problem definition to deriving the desired outcome

• Proven track record of analytical and systems engineering skills while dealing with complex systems and ambiguous AI functions

• Proven track record of root cause analysis in complex SW/HW systems

• Familiarity with analytical methods for driving behavioral analysis

• Ability to creatively problem solve with limited supervision

• Motivated by a fast paced, challenging environment with high expectations and quick turnarounds

• Ability to learn quickly, starting with little information and quickly becoming an expert in your domain

• Strong cross functional communication and collaboration skills

• Proven experience at communicating data driven decisions to leadership

• Passionate about robotics/AI complexities

• BS , MS or PhD in Engineering or related discipline or equivalent combination education and experience

Bonus Points!

• Experience with AVs and/or Production grade robotics developments and AV/ADAS systems

• Experience with statistical methods for product evaluation and risk assessment

• Experience with developing data driven metrics
