Company Overview

May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May develops and deploys autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by our innovative Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that literally reimagines the way AVs think.

Our vehicles do more than just drive themselves - they provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps and move people where they need to go safely, easily and with a lot more fun. We’re building the world’s best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access and encouraging better land use in order to foster more green, vibrant and livable spaces. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve given more than 300,000 autonomy-enabled rides to real people around the globe. And we’re just getting started. We’re hiring people who share our passion for building the future, today, solving real-world problems and seeing the impact of their work. Join us.

Position Overview

May Mobility is entering an exciting phase of growth as we expand our first-of-its-kind autonomous shuttle and mobility services across the nation. We believe strongly in the need to demonstrate the safety of our Autonomous Vehicles, so that people can ride with confidence. In many ways, this is an even more important goal for the AV industry than getting the vehicles to drive autonomously. Simulation-based testing is a big part of our strategy to achieve this. We are looking to add an experienced senior developer to our simulation infrastructure team who can contribute.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and support our simulation infrastructure to enable our fleet to operate and facilitate continuous development of our system.
  • Collaborate with data team members and other stakeholders to identify, implement, and validate software to measure autonomous vehicle performance indicators.
  • Develop, maintain, and support simulation tools to support safety and performance testing of autonomous vehicles.
  • Support efforts to validate and communicate simulation and data analysis results to a wide range of internal users.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to develop software and system requirements.
  • Initiate and participate in team product quality activities including design reviews, code reviews, and documentation.
  • Ensure that internal users/developers can design and add needed automatic test coverage cases efficiently and effectively. Work to train internal users on this process as needed.

Skills and Abilities

Success in this role typically requires the following competencies:

  • Excellent attention to detail and rigorous testing methodology.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to provide technical leadership for a development team.

Qualifications and Experience

Candidates most successful in this role typically hold the following qualifications or comparable knowledge or experience:

Required:

  • B.S. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent degree and a minimum of 3 years of industry experience.
  • Significant experience working in modern C++ (C++14/17/20).
  • Strong working knowledge of design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Experience designing, building, and expanding complex software systems with real-time and performance constraints.
  • Experience in some form of real-time simulation platform development and integration (game engine, autonomous vehicle simulation, etc.).
  • Previous experience developing in Linux environments or ability to adapt to this environment.

Desirable:

  • M.S. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and 3+ years of industry experience.
  • Significant experience working in Python is a plus.
  • Significant experience with data science tools in python (e.g. numpy, scipy, scikit-learn) is a plus.
  • Rust experience is a plus.
  • Experience with Applied Intuition simulation software suite a plus.
