General Motors empowers Product Managers to solve challenging customer and business problems. The role involves building the next generation of autonomous vehicle driving interactions and owning the roadmap for the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) ecosystem, ensuring a seamless experience for drivers.
Responsibilities:
- Define the long-term product vision and roadmap for Super Cruise HMI, ensuring a seamless, trust-building experience across all interfaces including clusters, HUDs, and infotainment screens
- Lead strategies for visual cues (lighting/UI), non-visual cues (spatial audio/haptics), and the logic governing how these modes work in concert to communicate system status and expectations of a driver
- Own the transitions between states, defining the requirements for engagement, disengagement, and take-over requests where timing and clarity are paramount
- Drive the roadmap for how the vehicle communicates its perception of the world—transforming complex sensor data into intuitive 3D visualizations that build driver confidence in the system
- Define the ecosystem for driver preferences, ensuring the HMI adapts to individual needs while maintaining a baseline of safety and brand consistency
- Act as the primary bridge between Human Factors, Design, Software, and Safety teams to ensure HMI requirements are feasible and robust
- Establish and track KPIs for HMI effectiveness, including driver reaction times, system trust scores, and engagement rates
- Communicate the HMI strategy and progress to executive leadership, ensuring alignment on the primary mechanism through which people will experience our product
Requirements:
- 3+ years (Senior) or 5+ years (Staff) product management or related industry experience
- Deep understanding of HMI software stacks, UI frameworks, or embedded systems
- Ability to understand the latency and reliability constraints of automotive hardware
- Strong skills in deriving actionable insights from user research, simulator studies, and fleet data
- Exceptional ability to translate highly technical autonomous driving concepts into intuitive consumer-facing value propositions and clear engineering requirements
- Comfortable navigating the ambiguity of autonomy regulations and the evolving landscape of HMI requirements
- Masters or Doctorate degree in related field
- Direct experience shipping ADAS/AV systems
- Understanding of human cognitive load, situational awareness, and the psychology of trust in automated systems
- Experience launching products that involve tight integration between custom hardware (sensors, steering wheels, light bars) and software UI
