We work closely with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Product Management, and Business to create and iterate on products that move our business forward. We are integral to the development of GM's ADAS technology. Our products include annotated dataset for machine learning and pareto development, strategic test creation and management, and structured reviews of critical events & simulations to understand the performance of the vehicle onroad and in simulation.
We are looking for a Technical Product Operations Manager who canoversee data products that directly impact the rapid, efficient, and safe operations of autonomy in GM's vehicles.Specifically, this individual will need to become well-versed in GM's simulation and testing space.
This role operates as a high-impact individual contributor, owning critical workflows end-to-end while influencing how work is done across the team. It requires a blend of operational leadership, analytical rigor, and technical depth, and is execution-oriented with significant scope for impact. The role is expected to set the bar for quality, provide guidance to peers, and mentor other ICs through influence, with opportunities to take on additional leadership scope as the organization scales.
