Senior Software Engineer, AV Frameworks

The Role

We’reAV Frameworkswithin AV Platform Core at General Motors. We build the foundational frameworks that power robotics and autonomous capabilities across distributed compute — with a focus on inter-process communication (IPC), middleware, and developer experience that make complex systems reliable, observable, and fast.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and deliver the core communication and runtime building blocks used by AV / Robotics applications on vehicles, on benches, and in simulation. You’ll work across C++ systems, Linux, and networking / IPC to achieve low-latency messaging, deterministic scheduling, and production-grade reliability at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Own design and implementation of high-performance IPC and middleware primitives (publish / subscribe, shared memory, serialization, discovery, QoS).
• Drive latency, throughput, and determinism improvements through profiling, tracing, benchmarking, and targeted optimizations.
• Build developer-facing APIs, tooling, and documentation that improve ergonomics, correctness, and velocity for internal customers.
• Deliver platform-ready components with observability (metrics, logs, traces), robust fault handling, and reproducible performance characteristics.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with platform OS, drivers, safety, controls, perception, and tooling teams to integrate end-to-end solutions.
• Apply production rigor : code reviews, testing strategies (unit, integration, soak), performance and regression gates, and rollout / rollback discipline.
• Mentor engineers, contribute to design reviews, and raise the bar on engineering excellence.
