Job Description

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.

Job Summary 

Testing safety critical systems like our vehicles is a difficult task, and one that we care deeply about.  In fact, the way we test and validate our AVs may be more important than the Autonomous Vehicles themselves! In this position, you will help us develop and improve our simulation abilities, develop our understanding and test coverage of the driving behavior space, and build the case that convinces our riders (and ourselves!) that our autonomous vehicles are ready for prime-time! 

Your Opportunity to Drive Success 

You will have an opportunity to independently impact our approach to solving the most interesting problems facing AV’s today, while operating live in the wild. 

  • Work independently with cross functional teams to develop software and system requirements 
  • Help to design, manage, and scale our autonomous vehicle test codebase
  • Create and update test scenarios to simulate real-world autonomous driving conditions
  • Design scenarios to test new autonomy use cases
  • Track test success over time to show growth in our autonomous driving capabilities
  • Collaborate with autonomy developers to facilitate testing of new behaviors
  • Work closely with simulation software vendors to define new features and diagnose pain points

Required Qualifications 

  • A minimum of 3+ years of industry experience building simulations and/or simulation infrastructure for autonomous vehicle testing 
  • B.S. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience in complex software testing
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage, maintain, and expand suites of automated tests based on changing requirements
  • Strong programming skills in C++, software development in a Linux environment 
  • Deep familiarity with Software Engineering techniques and best practices (design patterns, separation of concerns, etc…) 
  • Excellent attention to detail and rigorous testing methodology
  • Familiarity with standard development tools such as git, valgrind, and gdb 

Desired Qualifications 

  • Previous experience in Quality Assurance or as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)
  • Experience building, managing, and interpreting automated test suites for complex applications
  • Experience with robotics, automotive engineering, autonomous vehicles, or start-ups

Benefits and Perks 

  • Competitive salary and benefits (medical / dental / vision / 401k)
  • Meaningful stock incentives and equity refresh program
  • Unlimited vacation / company paid holidays
  • Daily catered lunches and snacks
  • Paid parental leave
  • Flexible schedule around core business hours
