Tech Lead Manager, Model Integration

Description The Role At General Motors, we are building the next generation of software and artificial intelligence systems that power advanced vehicle capabilities. Within this work, the Model Integration team helps turn machine learning models into production-ready software by connecting model development with deployment, validation, and vehicle-facing integration workflows. We are looking for a Tech Lead Manager to lead and grow our Model Integration team. This role combines strong technical leadership with people management and cross-functional execution. The ideal candidate brings experience in machine learning systems, software integration, and platform development, along with a passion for building high-performing teams and scalable engineering workflows. What You'll Do (Responsibilities) Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers focused on integrating machine learning models into large-scale production software systems. Set the technical direction and roadmap for model integration workflows, with a focus on scalability, reliability, automation, and developer productivity. Drive the design and development of tools, platforms, and processes that simplify how models move from development into simulation, testing, and production environments. Partner closely with machine learning engineers, infrastructure teams, software platform teams, and program leaders to ensure models can be integrated, validated, and released efficiently. Improve model onboarding, configuration, interface management, observability, and release-readiness processes across the integration lifecycle. Identify and remove bottlenecks in model integration workflows by reducing manual steps and increasing automation. Establish strong engineering practices for quality, validation, governance, and operational excellence. Work with engineering leadership and program management to define priorities, align dependencies, and deliver key milestones. Conduct pe
