Our mission is to help GM deliver trustworthy automated-driving products. As the central authority for automated driving system (ADS) safety, SAFE-ADS brings together experts from across the company to develop and maintain a comprehensive safety case including safety performance indicators for GM's automated-driving technologies. GM's vision is zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion, and autonomous vehicle safety is essential to achieving that vision. The AV Safety Engineering Analytics (AV-SEA) team is the resource supporting teams and stakeholders from around the company to bring a broad range of data and analytics capabilities to bear in AV safety decision making. This team maintains proficiency integrating continuously flowing data from vehicle systems, company databases, third-party services, and federal and state agencies to inform system design and quantify driving performance. As a senior leader in the AV Safety Engineering Analytics team, you will work with cross functional partners and internal customers to prototype, define, and productionize performance metrics and sufficiency criteria. You will engage deeply with stakeholders to understand their challenges and needs and collaborate to develop innovative solutions. Role Overview This role will report to the AV-SEA Director. The Safety Engineering Analytics Lead will drive AV-SEA impact across three primary dimensions: + Research and development program execution + Technical andnon-technicalcommunications + Leadership, strategy and operations management, within AV-SEA and the larger SAFE ADS department. This is a People Leader role that owns the AV-SEA strategy setting with broad latitude in approach and recommendations that are expected and relied on by senior leadership. This individual will set objectives, and KPIs that directly support GM's safety and business goals. The leader will shape AV safety analytics direction and champion large-scale change in line with GM Behaviors, delivering critical outcomes and long-term results. What** **You'll** **Do Research and development program execution + Define and maintain an AV safety analytics strategy and roadmap that connects DDT metrics, Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs), benchmarking, counterfactual modeling, and metrics to program milestones and safety cases. + Ensure that DDT safety metrics and benchmarking outputs are discoverable, reproducible, and traceable, with clear data lineage, assumptions, and ownership. + Lead members of AV-SEA team in scoping, executing, and reviewing end-to-end safety analyses Technical and** **non** - **technical** **communications + Translate complex analytic work (e.g., benchmarking, SPI roadmaps, counterfactual analyses) into clear, structured safety narratives for senior leadership, governance bodies, andcross-functionalstakeholders. + Oversee the analysis products of AV-SEA analytics activities, including internal content and external messaging in support of AV-SEA and SAFE-ADS safety science and analytics activities. + Establish and steward safety messaging that aligns internal dashboards, technical design documents, safety cases, andexternal-facingmaterials around consistent safety metrics and evidence. + Operate as SAFE-ADS and AV-SEA interface to GM communications and marketing related to safety analytics and safety performance monitoring methods. + Identify opportunities for, and lead collaborative publications work, including technical white papers, conference publications, policy briefs, social media content, and external safety reports that accurately represent AV-SEA's work while supporting regulatory andpublic-trust objectives. Leadership, ** **strategy** ** and operations management + Be theday-to-dayinterface between AV-SEA and autonomy and systems engineering, validation and test, simulation, product and program management, legal, and communications to ensure safety analytics aredecision-relevantand timely. + Coordinate with GPSSC teams, partner organizations, external stakeholders, and industry associations to identify strategic needs, alignsafety-analyticsinitiatives, and organize joint workstreams. + Represent AV-SEA in internal review forums, safety governance meetings, andcross-functionalworking groups, driving clarity on safety metrics, pass/fail thresholds, and program readiness. + Mentor and coach AV-SEA team members in strategy, stakeholder engagement, and communication, helping individual contributors connect technical work to safety impact and program decisions.
