Do not apply for this role if you will need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc). This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}. ## Description The AV Fleet Data Engineering team is responsible for the end-to-end design, requirements, integration, validation, and execution of AV/ADAS data-collection capabilities. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will lead the definition and delivery of Retail AV Data Collection solutions that support ADAS and automated-driving development, fleet monitoring, machine-learning data collection, regulatory compliance, and product improvement. You will translate stakeholder and customer use cases into system-level strategies, feature-level requirements, functional specifications, architecture concepts, and verification plans. This role will lead hands-on systems engineering across vehicles, benches, simulation and playback environments, cloud/data pipelines, and connected fleet campaigns. The engineer will work closely with software, platform, vehicle integration, quality, data engineering, ADAS, AV, product, legal, and regulatory teams to deliver scalable and reliable data-recording solutions. What You'll Do * Gather and analyze stakeholder, customer, ADAS, AV, regulatory, privacy, and machine-learning use cases. * Decompose product requirements into stakeholder use cases, feature-level specifications, system requirements, interfaces, constraints, and verification criteria. * Define system strategies for recording triggers, signals, topics, recording durations, data quality, compute and storage budgets, data offload, privacy, consent, geofencing, and vehicle compatibility. * Develop system-level test strategies, use cases, test cases, functional checks, and validation plans for new functionality. * Coordinate with software and platform teams to communicate requirements, defects, dependencies, risks, and release impacts. * Ensure system designs account for customer consent, privacy, legal constraints, geofencing, regional requirements, and regulatory data-recording needs. * Support data-collection request intake by clarifying use cases, identifying available signals, defining trigger logic, assessing pipeline limitations, and determining required software or architecture changes. * Identify opportunities to improve requirements quality, systems engineering processes, test automation, configuration management, release readiness, and stakeholder communication. * Make technical recommendations based on analysis, communicate lessons learned, and keep engineering leadership informed of assignment status, timing, risks, and technical issues. * Mentor engineers and contribute to reusable systems-engineering standard work, documentation, and technical training. ## Related Videos - [For the Cars and the Curious: Android Drift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/499-for-the-cars-and-the-curious-android-drift) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [ChatGPT and Java: A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/536-chatgpt-and-java-a-match-made-in-heaven-or-hell) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [The Prompt Engineer ✍️](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/216-the-prompt-engineer) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
