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.
The Autonomy Support team is responsible for triaging and reporting on any changes or issues discovered in the AV’s software. Within this team, the Autonomy Support Simulation Engineer will play a crucial role in validating the safety and functionality of our autonomous vehicle systems through comprehensive simulation testing. They will create simulation scenarios that help evaluate system functionality as well as build tools and processes that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of simulation testing. They work closely with development engineers to implement simulation tests that ensure that the autonomy software is constantly improving and curating test suites to constantly challenge our system’s capabilities. They will have an opportunity to independently impact our approach to solving the most interesting problems facing AV’s today, with vehicles operating daily in the real world.
The Autonomy Support Simulation Engineer will be responsible for building and maintaining the tools and infrastructure that enable our teams to efficiently create, execute, and analyze thousands of simulation scenarios across multiple vehicle platforms and deployment sites. This includes developing automation scripts, improving existing workflows, and creating new testing frameworks to support our growing autonomous vehicle operations. Autonomy Support Simulation Engineers will also develop a comprehensive understanding of how our simulation tools work and how to resolve any technical issues that may arise.
The Autonomy Support Team ensures the continued safe and autonomous operation of the May Mobility fleet. Autonomy Support Simulation Engineers support this effort by creating simulations that give visibility to issues before they reach the fleet as well as demonstrate that past fleet issues have been resolved. Due to the high degree of autonomy of our fleet, the simulation suites often provide the first insight into performance degradation or to identify new areas to enhance our operation. An effective Autonomy Support Simulation Engineer will be able to analyze simulation results and determine if there are autonomy issues or scenario adjustments that need to be made. Having the ability to understand the nuances and limitations of simulation will be key to success in this role.
