Cruise engineers
Cruise hardware engineers build custom hardware platforms that fuel Cruise’s software development. Building on GM’s hundreds of years of safety and validation experience, we’re creating and scaling an efficient and reliable autonomous vehicle (AV) fleet.
Fully integrated hardware
Our teams design, test, and integrate various sensors and hardware components into Cruise vehicles, planning for different hardware capabilities up to years in the future.
Flexible hardware platforms
Engineers across various disciplines work together to design and validate infrastructure, equipment, and processes to calibrate and support our all-electric vehicles.
