About the Role

General Motors is pioneering the future of in-vehicle intelligence and seeks a Staff Software Engineer to lead the platform engineering for its next-generation Vehicle AI Assistant. This role involves designing and developing the core application platform on Android Automotive OS (AAOS), integrating edge and cloud AI technologies to create conversational experiences for drivers. The position is a hands-on Technical Lead role focused on driving technical execution, setting architectural standards, building CI infrastructure, and delivering developer-facing frameworks.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the architectural design and execution of GM’s in-vehicle AI assistant application platform on top of Android Automotive OS (AAOS).
  • Drive engineering execution for a team of software engineers, establishing technical roadmaps, code quality standards, and system design best practices.
  • Architect scalable application interfaces and Software Development Kits (SDKs) that enable downstream teams to plug in specialized AI tools and vehicle capabilities.
  • Implement a hybrid edge-and-cloud architecture, balancing low-latency on-device processing with advanced cloud-based Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) services.
  • Establish and scale automated testing, Continuous Integration (CI), and validation infrastructure to guarantee stability and performance across vehicle builds.
  • Partner with cross-functional AI teams to integrate model training and evaluation pipelines, system benchmarking, and quality feedback loops into the platform deployment lifecycle.
  • Optimize voice and text response latency, memory footprint, and system responsiveness within the vehicle environment.
  • Design robust application contracts using Android Interface Definition Language (AIDL) and Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms.
  • Collaborate closely with product management and user experience teams to translate customer interactions into resilient platform capabilities.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of professional software development experience, with a primary focus on production Android application architecture.
  • Proven track record as a technical lead, driving architecture decisions and guiding software execution across engineering teams.
  • Expert proficiency in Kotlin and Java, along with modern Android frameworks (Android Jetpack, Coroutines, Flow, and Dependency Injection frameworks such as Hilt or Dagger).
  • Hands-on experience designing developer-facing APIs, platform SDKs, or shared application libraries.
  • Demonstrated experience setting up robust automated testing strategies and Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines for mobile software platforms.
  • Experience working with client-server architectures using streaming, gRPC, or REST protocols.
  • Strong knowledge of Android application components, lifecycle management, and Inter-Process Communication (IPC/AIDL).
