Senior Software Engineer - Motion Planning, Secondary Driving System
General Motors, Sunnyvale, California +3
The role
Job Description
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Secondary Driving System team within Embodied AI, you will be a strong individual contributor working across the autonomy stack, with a particular emphasis on motion planning and controls in a robotics context. You’ll design and build production‑quality C++ software that spans ML‑based perception, tracking, prediction, planning, and controls, enabling SDS to safely handle faults and reach a minimal risk condition when the primary system cannot.
You will collaborate closely with experts in perception, state estimation, vehicle dynamics, systems engineering, and safety to ship robust, fail‑operational behaviors for Super Cruise and future products.
What you will do
- Develop and optimize production‑grade C++ software across the SDS stack, integrating ML‑based perception (object detection, tracking, prediction, lane and road features) with analytical planners and classical controllers under tight latency and compute constraints.
