Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in Michigan

Job Description

The Role:

General Motors is seeking aStaff AI/ML Engineerfor theVehicle Mechatronic Embedded Controls (VMEC) Analyticsteam.

The team delivers production AI/ML solutions for highimpact diagnostics, prognostics, and testeffectiveness use cases. This is ahandson practitioner rolefocused on building, shipping, andoperatingreal systems - not on academic research.

The Staff AI/ML Engineer will serve as a senior individual contributor within an established AI/ML leadership group, providing deep technicalexpertise, shaping implementation approaches, and mentoring others while collaborating on overall strategy.

WhatYou'llDo:

• Design, build, andoperateendtoend AI/ML solutions(data pipelines, models, services, and tools) for diagnostics, prognostics, and test analytics.
• Implementproductiongrade ML pipelineson platforms such asAzureandDatabricks, covering data ingestion, feature engineering, training, evaluation, and inference for batch and streaming workloads.
• Develop andmaintainrobust, observable ML services and internal toolsthat make complex vehicle and field data easy to use for engineers and technical stakeholders.
• Applypractical ML and statistical methods(e.g., treebased models, timeseries and anomaly detection, deep learning whereappropriate)with a focus on reliability, explainability, and impact.
• Ownmodel and data observabilityin production, including metrics, dashboards, alerts, and remediation workflows for drift, data quality, and performance regressions.
• Partner with data engineering to define and useindustrialized and vectorized data productsthat support search, RAG, and analytics at scale.
• Review designs and code,mentor AI/ML practitioners, and help sethigh standardsfor testing, logging, deployment, and documentation.
• Collaborate with diagnostics/prognostics SMEs, validation, safety, and program teams to prioritize work, define success metrics, and embed solutions in daytoday engineering workflows.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• Graduate degree (Master'sor PhD)in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Engineering, or a closely related quantitative field.
• 7+ yearsof handson experience designing, building, and operating machine learning systems in production environments.
• StrongproficiencyinPython(productionquality code, testing, packaging) andSQL, with experience working in shared, multideveloper codebases.
• Practical experience with coreML frameworkssuch asPyTorch,TensorFlow, orscikitlearn, and with MLOps tooling (e.g., MLflow, CI/CD, model registries, experiment tracking).
• Experience building data and ML workloads oncloud platforms, preferablyMicrosoft Azure, and working withDatabricks, Spark, or similar distributed processing frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability toturn ambiguous realworld problems into shippable AI/ML solutions, owning the details from data exploration through deployed service and ongoing operation.
• Strong understanding ofML system behavior in production(data issues, nonstationarity, latency, throughput, failure modes) and comfort debugging with logs, metrics, and traces.
• Excellentcommunication and collaboration skills, witha track recordof influencing decisions and mentoring other AI/ML practitioners.

What Will Give YouACompetitive Edge (Preferred Skills):

• 10+ yearsof applied machine learning or data science experience, including ownership of highimpact,productionAI systems.
• Experience withvehicle, fleet, or telematics data, or adjacent domains with rich timeseries and reliability data.
• Background indiagnostics/prognostics modeling(e.g., fault classification, anomaly detection, degradation modeling, survival analysis).
• Experience buildingvector search and retrievalaugmented generation (RAG)or similarproductionAI applications that integrate foundation models with structured data.
• Familiarity withAzure Cognitive Servicesor similar managed AI services and how to combine them pragmatically with custom ML for robust production solutions.
• Demonstrated impactinraising engineering standardsand building AI/ML engineering capability across teams.
• Prior experience inautomotive, embedded controls, or softwaredefined vehicleprograms, or other safetycritical domains.
