Agentic Data Engineer

• Own design and delivery of the most complex and strategically critical data engineering initiatives in vehicle development—from discovery and technical design through implementation, rollout, and ongoing optimization.
• Solve previously unsolved or ambiguous problems using first‐principles thinking and creative, strategically sound technical approaches; set new standards for how data is captured, managed, and used.
• Ensure solutions are secure, resilient, and scalable across plants and regions, with strong attention to change management, operability, and support models.
• Translate complex technical and analytical concepts into clear narratives and decision frameworks for senior leaders; influence roadmaps, investment decisions, and prioritization across multiple organizations.

• Define enterprise‐level patterns, standards, and reusable components for:
• Ingestion of data, systems and test equipment into cloud platforms.
• Data quality rules, monitors, and remediation playbooks.
• Semantic modeling, metric definitions, and KPI libraries for vehicle product engineering.
• Agentic workflows (templates, toolkits, APIs) that can be applied across plants and use cases.
• Shape and guide technology selection (e.g., lakehouse, streaming, orchestration, feature stores, agent frameworks) and drive convergence on common platforms while balancing local constraints.

• Operate as a recognized pre‐eminent expert in data engineering and agentic systems—sought out across GM as the authority for strategy, design reviews, and complex incident/problem resolution.
• Mentor and coach senior and staff‐level data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers; elevate technical bar through design reviews, architecture forums, and pair design/implementation.
• Act as a multiplier by building communities of practice (data engineering, AgentOps) and enabling others through documentation, patterns, and internal training.
• Represent GM externally (conferences, standards bodies, strategic partners) as an industry‐level expert in data platforms and intelligent automation.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical/Industrial Engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent industry experience.
• 12+ years of industry experience delivering large‐scale solutions and leading technical direction in relevant domains.
• 8+ years of experience in data engineering or closely related roles
• Strong focus on large‐scale, mission‐critical systems
• Demonstrated mastery in:
• Designing and operating large‐scale data platforms (batch + streaming) on cloud infrastructure.
• Building reliable, observable pipelines in languages such as Python/Scala/Java and using modern orchestration and workflow tools.
• Data modeling (relational, columnar, time‐series) and performance optimization for analytics, ML, and real‐time decisioning.
• Strong literacy in data science and ML
• Experience working with LangGraph, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or LlamaIndex
