General Motors (GM) is accelerating its transformation toward “software-defined” vehicles, aiming to redefine the transportation landscape in ways that could surpass even electrification. With over 116 years of automotive manufacturing, GM is integrating advanced software platforms across its vehicle lineup, from the Chevrolet Equinox to the GMC Sierra EV, to deliver smarter, more capable vehicles that enhance safety, ride quality, and digital connectivity.
A unified, updatable software platform is at the core of this evolution, enabling innovations such as hands-free driving technologies and electric vehicles (EVs) that can power homes. GM is positioning itself at the forefront of automotive software engineering by attracting top talent from the tech world, including executives from companies like Apple, and establishing a new tech center in Silicon Valley in 2024.
GM’s software innovations are also transforming the customer experience beyond the vehicle, enhancing EV charging infrastructure and advancing energy management solutions through fuel cell technology. The company’s cutting-edge Super Cruise hands-free driving system, powered by a sophisticated network of sensors, radars, and high-precision maps, exemplifies how software and electric architecture are reshaping vehicle autonomy.
As the automotive industry pivots to a software-first model, GM is hiring software engineers across key locations, including Mountain View and Detroit, with opportunities in AI, machine learning, systems engineering, and mobile and web development. The automaker is blending the agility of a startup with its century-long expertise to drive the next decade of automotive innovation.
