Job Description About the Team The HIL Platform and Services team in GM’s Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Organization is responsible for d eveloping and scaling high-fidelity , reliable Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation platforms that test AV software before it’s deployed to vehicles. Our platforms ensure enterprise usability, end-user functionality, and high-quality, use-case-driven signals for AV performance validation and AV system reliability. We build and operate the systems that let AV teams validate perception , planning, control, and AI models against real hardware interfaces and complex scenarios, long before they reach the road. About the Role As a Software Engineer on the HIL Platform and Services team, you will be at the intersection of AV software and AI models and the hardware systems that enable vehicle autonomy. You will help shape what it takes to run, deploy, and test software on the next generation of GM AVs. Yo u will work closely with teams across the AV organization – including Embodied AI, Model Deployment, Middleware, OS, Sensor Applications, and Vehicle Integration – to build the software and tooling that make large-scale HIL validation possible. This is an early-career / new graduate role designed for candidates who have recently or will be completing their degree by June 2026. You will be paired with experienced engineers to help you ramp up on AV Software, the Software HIL platform and services concepts , and our internal HIL platforms t hemselves .
