About the Organization

The Evaluation organization builds the platforms frameworks and engineering systems that enable the development testing and validation of GMs autonomous driving technology. We partner across Autonomy Simulation Systems and Test Engineering Embodied AI and Release organizations to turn large-scale road and simulation data into actionable insights and confident engineering decisions. The Evaluation Frameworks team develops and operates the analytical frameworks that transform autonomous vehicle data into trustworthy metrics. Our tools support simulation analysis road-event monitoring data mining model and feature evaluation and release de-risking across the AV development lifecycle. The team owns shared capabilities including metrics authoring APIs simulation-analysis orchestration data augmentation and miner frameworks road and simulation execution pipelines and health monitoring for the resulting data products. We are focused on making metrics development faster more reliable and more accessible to engineering and evaluation teams.

We are looking for a Manager to lead the Metrics Frameworks team. This role combines people leadership technical strategy and execution ownership. You will set the teams direction build a high-performing engineering organization and guide the design and operation of platforms that are critical to AV evaluation and development. The ideal candidate is an experienced engineering leader who can move comfortably between long-term technical strategy and day-to-day execution. You will work closely with customers and partner teams to understand evolving evaluation needs make clear tradeoffs and deliver durable framework capabilities that improve engineering velocity and confidence in AV performance data.

What Youll Do
