Autonomy Simulation & Data Analyst (Hybrid or Remote)

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.

May Mobility is entering an exciting phase of growth as we expand our first-of-its-kind autonomous shuttle and mobility services across the nation. We believe strongly in the need to demonstrate the safety of our Autonomous Vehicles, so that people can ride with confidence.  In many ways, this is an even more important goal for the AV industry than getting the vehicles to drive autonomously.  Simulation-based testing is of course a big part of our strategy to achieve this.  We are looking to add an autonomy simulation and data analyst to the ever growing autonomy team. This position would be part of the Autonomy Support Team that looks at cases from the field and curates them into data for the autonomy team to use in software testing and development. 

For this role, Hybrid means that candidates would be expected to be able to come into the office in Ann Arbor for training as needed. The candidate would work remotely most of the time with reliable internet access and no limit on data upload/download quantity.
