Senior Software Engineer - Motion Planning, Secondary Driving System

Description About 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.Our Embodied AI teams are redefining what's possible in driver assistance and automated driving. We pair human-centered design with cutting-edge robotics, optimization, and machine learning to create systems that are not just intelligent, but intuitive and trustworthy.The Secondary Driving System (SDS) is an independent perception, planning, and controls stack that keeps the vehicle operating safely for a limited time if the primary driving system becomes unavailable, requesting driver takeover and, when needed, executing a Minimal Risk Maneuver (MRM) to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. The Role As a Senior Software Engineer on the Secondary Driving System team within Embodied AI, you will be a strong individual contributor working across the autonomy stack, with a particular emphasis on motion planning and controls in a robotics context. You'll design and build production-quality C++ software that spans ML-based perception, tracking, prediction, planning, and controls, enabling SDS to safely handle faults and reach a minimal risk condition when the primary system cannot.You will collaborate closely with experts in perception, state estimation, vehicle dynamics, systems engineering, and safety to ship robust, fail-operational behaviors for Super Cruise and future products. What You'll Do (Responsibilities) Develop and optimize production-grade C++ software across the SDS stack, integr
