Job Description The Role   We’re   AV Frameworks   within 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   vehicle s , 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.   Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)   BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.   7+ years building systems-level software in   modern C++   (C++17/20/23) or   Rust  on   Linux .   Deep   knowledge of   concurrency, memory management, lock-free  or low-contention patterns, and   performance profiling .   Hands-on experience with   IPC/messaging  systems and   distributed systems  fundamentals (serialization, backpressure, flow control, QoS).   Strong understanding of   networking  (sockets, TCP/UDP, multicast, NICs, buffers, MTU, packetization) and   time synchronization  concepts.   Proficiency   with   build and CI  tooling (Bazel/Buck/ CMake, test frameworks, artifact/versioning strategies).   What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)     Robotics/AV middleware:   ROS 2 ,   DDS ,   gRPC ,   ZeroMQ ,   eCAL, shared memory IPC.   Serialization and data:   Protobuf ,   FlatBuffers,  Cap’n   Proto, zero-copy techniques, record/ re simulation   pipelines.   Advanced networking/IO:   i o_ uring ,   RDMA/ PCIe  messaging, kernel/ b pf - based observability, packet   c apture   and analysis.   Real-time Linux  and systems constraints (scheduling, CPU isolation, priority inversion mitigation, bounded latency).   Tracing and performance tooling :   perf ,   LTTng ,   eBPF ,   flamegraphs ;   defining and enforcing performance SLOs.   Safety and reliability awareness (diagnostics, failover, degraded modes, basics of ISO 26262 considerations for software components).   Secondary languages and tooling:   Python/Go  for tooling/integration   Compensation:  The compensation information is a good faith estimate only. It is based on what a successful applicant might be paid in accordance with applicable state laws.
