Senior Machine Learning Engineer

General Motors is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join their Smart Agents group, which is responsible for building ML models and systems to simulate road users for autonomous vehicle testing and training. This role is critical in developing the AI that controls other vehicles, bikers, and pedestrians in simulation environments, essentially creating realistic interactions for AV training.

The position leverages cutting-edge technologies including Generative AI models (GPT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies. Working closely with Simulation, Behaviors, Perception, and Safety Engineering teams, you'll be responsible for ML/RL model development, training loop optimization, and creating robust ML infrastructure for both production deployment and rapid experimentation.

As a senior engineer, you'll contribute to GM's vision of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion through advanced autonomous vehicle technology. The role offers a competitive salary range of $134,000 to $205,000, along with comprehensive benefits including health coverage, 401k matching, and various insurance options.

This is a remote position, but candidates living within 50 miles of Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, Warren, Milford, or Mountain View are expected to work from office locations three times per week. The ideal candidate will bring 4+ years of robotics or backend services experience, strong ML expertise, and a passion for self-driving technology.

GM offers a collaborative work environment focused on diversity and inclusion, providing opportunities for professional growth and meaningful impact in the autonomous vehicle industry. The position includes attractive benefits such as paid time off, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, and unique perks like GM vehicle discounts.
