Job description
Are you passionate about accelerating the future of autonomous driving? Join the Embodied AI team at General Motors. Our team is developing and deploying machine learning solutions that support safe and reliable autonomous vehicle behavior across real-world scenarios.
As a Senior ML Infra Engineer, you will work on the core systems that enable rapid dataset generation, training, evaluation and iteration of our most advanced Autonomous Driving models. From enabling large foundational driving models to distilling multi-stage production deployed models, your goal will be to dramatically accelerate the machine learning development cycle from one modeling hypothesis to next.
You will develop model training pipelines that are performant, easy to use, and exceptionally reliable. Your success will be measured by the velocity and impact of the ML models that rely on the scalable, intuitive, and high-performance training platforms you help create.
What You'll Do:
- Design, implement, and deploy scalable platforms and tools supporting machine learning training and evaluation workflows across GM.
- Drive complex technical projects with strong ownership of implementation, code quality, and system reliability.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions while collaborating with senior engineers and technical leads.
- Work closely with partner teams to ensure platforms meet real-world ML development needs and maximize adoption.
- Identify technical improvements and help prioritize platform investments to improve performance, reliability, and developer productivity.
- Contribute to a strong engineering culture through high-quality code reviews, documentation, and operational excellence.
- Support onboarding and mentoring of junior engineers and interns.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experienceworking onlarge-scale distributed systems, applications, or ML infrastructure.
- Experience designing robust services or frameworks with durable, well-designed APIs.
- Solid understanding of machine learning workflows and hands-on experience applying ML systems in production environments.
- Experience building reliable, high-performance, and cost-efficient systems on modern cloud infrastructure.
- Practical experience across the ML development lifecycle, including model training, deployment, andMLOpspractices.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across teams and organizations.
- Strong coding skills in Python or C++.
- Interestin autonomous driving and large-scale ML systems.
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with distributed training methodologies.
- Experience scaling ML training across large GPU/CPU clusters or specialized accelerators.
- Familiarity with deep learning frameworks such asPyTorchor TensorFlow.
- Experience with performance profiling and training optimization techniques and their impact on model convergence and performance.
- Experience with advanced build systems such as Bazel, Buck, Blaze, orCMake.
- Proficiencywith containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
