Senior Compiler Engineer - AI Kernels & Compilers (Remote)

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Compiler Engineer - AI Kernels & Compilers to join our team at General Motors. This remote position allows you to contribute to our mission of achieving Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion through advanced automated driving technologies.

What You'll Do

• Own and evolve the model compilation toolchain used to deploy large-scale perception, prediction, and planning models to the AV.
• Architect new compiler passes and analysis that improve build times, memory footprint, and runtime latency while preserving fidelity under strict safety and reliability constraints.
• Collaborate closely with kernels, runtime, and hardware teams to co-design interfaces, shape accelerator capabilities, and ensure the compiler exposes the right abstractions to unlock peak performance on each platform.
• Set standards and best practices for model export, validation, and debugging so that AV teams can iterate quickly with clear, reproducible performance and accuracy characteristics.
• Design and evolve our model export and compilation pipeline, ensuring optimized compilation throughput, model fidelity, and on-vehicle latency.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in the field of compilers.
• Experience with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and software stack (e.g., ONNX, MLIR, XLA, TVM, TensorRT).
• Expertise in writing production quality Python/C++ code.
• Strong understanding of the software development life-cycle including coding, debugging, optimization, testing, and integration.
• BS or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.

Nice to Have

• Experience building and optimizing ONNX-based model export and deployment pipelines.
• GPU programming (CUDA) and familiarity with ML software stack (e.g., cuDNN, cuBLAS).
• Experience with ML accelerators and hardware architecture.
• Experience developing and deploying machine learning models.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary range of $185,100 to $335,300 based on experience.
• Incentive pay program based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing benefits including medical, dental, vision, and retirement savings plans.
• Paid vacation and holidays, tuition assistance programs, and employee assistance programs.
• Opportunity to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program.
• Relocation support for candidates moving to the United States.

If you want to work at the intersection of compilers, performance engineering, and real-world autonomy, this Senior Compiler Engineer - AI Kernels & Compilers (remote) role puts your decisions directly on the critical path of what runs on the car.
