Senior ML Infrastructure Engineer - Embodied AI Scaling Foundations

About this role

Job Description At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.  

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

Are you passionate about accelerating the future of autonomous driving? Join the Embodied AI Infra Foundation team at General Motors, where we build the critical infrastructure that powers every machine learning engineer working on our cutting-edge Autonomous Driving models. From foundational models to state-of-the-art optimization, our work is at the heart of our mission.

About the team: Our goal is simple: dramatically accelerate the machine learning development cycle, freeing our engineers to focus entirely on enhancing the safety and performance of the car, rather than managing infrastructure. We are committed to delivering products that are performant, easy to use, and exceptionally reliable. Your success will be measured by the success of our partner teams who rely on our robust systems to build the world's most advanced driverless vehicles.
