May Mobility is revolutionizing cities with autonomous technology, creating a safer, greener, and more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May designs and dispatches autonomous vehicles (AVs) propelled by our groundbreaking Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that completely rethinks the way AVs function.
Our vehicles provide more than autonomous driving - they offer value to communities, fill public transit gaps, and transport people where they need to go safely, conveniently, and with more enjoyment. We're developing the world's best autonomy system to reenvision transit by reducing traffic, increasing access, and promoting improved land usage to cultivate greener, more vibrant and habitable areas.
Since our foundation in 2017, we've provided over 300,000 autonomous-enabled rides to real people worldwide. And we're just getting started. We're hiring individuals who are as enthusiastic about building the future, today, solving real-world problems, and seeing the immediate impact of their work as we are. Join us.
Job Summary
As a Senior Robotics Engineer - LIDAR/Sensor Fusion, you will lead the resolution of challenging and intricate problems facing vehicle autonomy. You'll pioneer the design of future May autonomy systems and resolve the system’s most complex issues.
Autonomy system engineers oversee the integrated operation of the autonomy system. Systems engineers engage with vision, LIDAR, RADAR, tracking, intent, decision-making, control, networking, health monitoring, computers, graphics cards, and power. System engineers advance architectural design and hardware/software design by collaborating with other engineering groups. You will be an authority on understanding how new features will integrate, potential system failures, optimizing the system for effectiveness or efficiency, and maintaining system functionality.
Your Opportunity to Drive Success
You will get a chance to independently influence our approach to solving the most fascinating problems facing AVs today, while in live operation.
