Job Description
About the Team
The AV Launch team builds the software foundation that brings GM’s autonomousdriving capabilities to life on the vehicle. We configure, deploy, launch, andmonitorthe applications that make up theautonomystack, developing onboard services that orchestrate vehicle activities from startup through shutdown.
We are part of GM’s Autonomous Vehicle Platform Core team, delivering the core software frameworks thatenable other teams and major vehicle systems. We own critical platform capabilities that includesoftware deployment, application configuration and lifecycle management, vehicle power and softwaremodes, andobservability systems.
Our systemsspanembeddedvehicle platforms, manufacturing lines, developer infrastructure, cloud services, and simulation.Wesupportinternal data collection fleets and production vehicles, and partner closely with platform teams and autonomy developers to solve complex problems.
About the Role
As an early career Software Engineer on the AV Launch team, you will design, implement, test, andoperatethe services that reliably manage autonomous driving software on GM vehicles. You will work across the software lifecycle: fromunderstandingrequirements and defining platform behavior to building production-quality services, integrating with vehicle hardware,validatingbehavior on benches and vehicles, and diagnosing issues in real-world environments.
This role is designed for a recent graduate or engineer early in their career who wants to build depth in embedded systems, distributed software, vehicle platforms, and autonomous driving technology. You will learn from experienced engineers while contributing meaningful code to systems that must be dependable, observable, and maintainable.
You will develop a systems-level perspective as you learn how individual services, devices, and vehicle states interact.Over time, you will turn that understanding into clear abstractions and designguidance that inform how other developersbuild vehicle software.
