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 Mapping and Planning Team is responsible for building the tools and systems that are used to build and maintain our maps that support our autonomy systems. We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer or above with deep expertise in machine learning. In this role, you will be at the forefront of developing and deploying core tools that automatically extract semantic map elements from our datasets. You will be responsible for designing, training, and optimizing machine learning models to detect and precisely extract road features.
