GM is committed to a vision of Zero Emissions, Zero Crashes, and Zero Congestion.\nAbout the Group\nWithin Vehicle Camera Services, we build advanced camera-based solutions that support vehicle safety, driver assistance, and connected experiences for millions of drivers worldwide. Our domain includes rear view, surround view, connected camera capabilities, trailer and towing features, NCAP-related safety functions, and additional vision-based systems deployed across GM vehicle platforms.\nWe are a pragmatic, execution-focused engineering organization working across continents, disciplines, and product domains. As our systems expand across platforms, programs, and architectures, we are looking for a highly senior software engineer who combines deep technical capability with broad organizational influence.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Staff/Principal Software Engineer to join our team.\nThis role reports directly to the Director of Software Engineering and is a senior technical leadership position for someone who is exceptionally strong in hands-on software engineering and can also drive meaningful change across multiple teams, domains, and technical layers.\nThis person will operate across Android, RTOS, embedded systems, platform integration, and product delivery boundaries, helping shape direction, solve critical problems, and raise engineering execution across the organization.\nThe right candidate has the technical depth to go deep into architecture and implementation, the judgment to navigate ambiguity, and the credibility to work directly with senior managers, directors, architects, and cross-functional leaders. They should be comfortable switching between senior technical leadership and direct hands-on work in code, debugging, design reviews, integration, and problem solving.\nWhat will YOU do?\nLead technically complex efforts across Android, RTOS, and embedded software domains within the vehicle camera organization.\nDrive architecture, design, and implementation decisions for critical software systems and cross-domain integrations.\nStay close to the code and work hands-on in ambiguous, high-risk, or high-impact areas.\nIdentify and resolve systemic technical issues that span components, teams, or organizational boundaries.\nInfluence software direction across platform, application, integration, and vehicle-level concerns.\nPartner closely with engineering leaders, architects, systems engineering, program teams, and global stakeholders to align technical strategy with execution reality.\nTranslate broad product or organizational needs into practical technical plans, engineering improvements, and measurable outcomes.\nRaise the technical bar through design reviews, code quality expectations, engineering rigor, and strong technical judgment.\nDrive improvements in development practices, integration approaches, debugging efficiency, and delivery predictability.\nMentor and influence engineers across the organization through technical excellence, clarity, and execution.\nHelp the organization make sound tradeoffs across speed, quality, scalability, maintainability, and vehicle/program constraints.\nContribute to software that ultimately runs in production vehicles and supports critical customer-facing and safety-relevant functionality.\nYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)\nB.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.\nOver 10 years of hands-on software engineering experience building complex production systems.\nStrong experience in embedded software development, including low-level debugging, performance analysis, and system integration.\nSignificant experience with Android and/or RTOS-based systems in production environments.\nStrong proficiency in C++ and/or C in complex software systems.\nProven track record of driving technical outcomes across multiple teams or domains through influence, ownership, and execution.\nDemonstrated ability to operate effectively in a senior technical leadership capacity, working directly with directors, senior managers, architects, and cross-functional leaders.\nStrong software engineering fundamentals in system design, architecture, concurrency, debugging, performance, and maintainability.\nExperience working in large-scale, cross-site, cross-functional software organizations.\nWhat Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)\nExperience in automotive, camera systems, computer vision pipelines, or safety-relevant embedded platforms.\nStrong background in multi-domain systems that combine platform software, application logic, hardware-aware constraints, and vehicle integration.\nExperience with software running on resource-constrained or real-time environments.\nFamiliarity with Android platform internals, middleware, BSP/system bring-up, or similar platform-level work.\nExperience improving engineering effectiveness across organizations through better architecture, technical decision-making, tooling, development workflows, or integration practices.\nM.Sc. or other advanced technical degree.\nWhy this role matters\nThis role is central to how we scale technical excellence in a growing and increasingly complex organization. It is an opportunity to shape both product and engineering direction, work on real systems that ship to vehicles, and have broad impact across critical camera and embedded software domains.\nThis is the right role for someone who wants to stay deeply hands-on, operate at high scope, and lead through expertise, judgment, and execution.\n\nAbout GM\nOur vision is a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion and we embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer and more equitable for all.\nWhy Join Us\nWe believe we all must make a choice every day - individually and collectively - to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture. Every day, we want every employee to feel they belong to one General Motors team.\nNon-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunities\nGeneral Motors is committed to being a workplace that is not only free of unlawful discrimination, but one that genuinely fosters inclusion and belonging.
