Senior Simulation Infrastructure Developer

Position 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. Our vehicles provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps, and move people safely and easily. We are building the world’s best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access, and encouraging better land use. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve given more than 300,000 autonomy-enabled rides.

May Mobility is entering an exciting phase of growth as we expand our autonomous shuttle and mobility services across the nation. We believe strongly in demonstrating the safety of our Autonomous Vehicles. 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 provide technical leadership and help deliver meaningful insights through simulation.

Essential Responsibilities

  • Lead design, manage, and scale our simulation infrastructure to enable our fleet to operate and facilitate continuous development of our system.
  • Partner with our vehicle autonomy, operations, and platform teams to improve performance, facilitate new use-cases for simulation, and make simulation an effective predictive tool.
  • Write high-performance, generic libraries to make our simulation software as fast and scalable as possible.
  • Mentor and coach junior team members to instill best practices.
  • Build and manage large-scale simulation pipelines in a cloud environment.

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.
  • A minimum of 7 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.
  • Experience with robotics, automotive engineering, or start-ups is not required.

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 (Simian, Logstream, Spectral, etc.).
