The Senior Product Manager will define the vision and roadmap for the Super Cruise HMI, ensuring effective driver interaction through visual and non-visual feedback. The role involves collaboration with design and engineering teams, driving product strategy, and establishing performance metrics for the HMI system.
Description
The Role
At General Motors, we empower Product Managers to solve challenging customer and business problems. We seek passionate and innovative team members who can collaborate effectively within product management, program management, design, and engineering teams to discover and deliver impactful solutions. We hold our teams accountable for results and seek leaders who can influence teammates, stakeholders, and executives using data and logic.
As the Product Manager for Super Cruise AV HMI, you will build the next generation of autonomous vehicle driving interactions. This role owns the roadmap for the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) ecosystem that allows drivers to safely and confidently transition between manual and autonomous states. You will develop solutions spanning visual displays, non-visual feedback (audio/haptics), environmental visualizations, and personalized driver settings.
Success requires a unique blend of technical judgment in embedded software/hardware and a deep empathy for the human experience. You will navigate the high-stakes intersection of safety-critical systems and premium consumer UX, making tough tradeoffs between feature complexity and driver cognitive load.
