at May Mobility
Ann Arbor, United StatesRemote
Responsibilities
- Release ownership and release execution end-to-end across:
- Manage branching strategy, versioning, and release cut processes
- Drive release readiness and go/no-go decisions
- Investigate and resolve complex issues arising from:
- Enforce stage-gated release framework:
- Integrate validation signals:
- Ensure safety-critical issues are identified, tracked, and gated
- Collaborate and lead system-wide improvements when working with other teams without having direct ownership or management responsibility.
- Assess and develop approaches that scale and improve performance in a variety of ways (e.g. CPU performance, memory usage, disk usage, network usage).
- Assess and improve system robustness to systematic stochastic and transient issues that impact autonomous vehicle performance.
- Support other autonomy engineers in designing and integrating their components with the full May system. Qualifications and Experience
Requirements
- 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.
- Release Engineers drive forward architectural design and hardware/software design through collaboration across other engineering groups. Additionally, Release Engineers create instrumentation to prove that the autonomy system is functioning correctly. You will be a go to person for understanding how new features will fit in, how the system might fail, how to best evolve the system to be more effective or efficient, and how to keep the system working.
- Develop deep understanding of:
- Compute platforms, networking, configurations Be the go-to for:
- Strong Python and scripting skills
- Working knowledge or familiarity with C/C++ •
- Experience working across full product lifecycle
- Proven ability to debug complex system-level issues
- experience in autonomous robotic systems, DevOps and release engineering •
- Experience with autonomous cars, trucks, or similar vehicles.
- A masters or PhD degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or an applied engineering field. Previous
- experience in a startup or high performance research and development group with an emphasis on delivery •
- Experience with AV or robotics systems Familiarity with:
- Safety-critical systems (ISO 26262, SOTIF) Physical Requirements
- experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway! You may be the perfect candidate for this or another role at May.
Experience
- 7+ years in autonomous systems, release engineering, and DevOps
- Strong communication skills across technical domains Desirable 10+ years of

Additional details
- May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world.
- 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 500,000 autonomous rides to real people around the globe.
- 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’s Autonomous Release Engineers are front line problem solvers that get things done.
- They have the initiative, experience, and technical skill to be able to solve problems delegated to them without oversight. Confidence backed by knowledge and experience is a must.
- You will ensure not only that software is releasable, but that it is safe, well-understood, and performs reliably in real-world conditions.
- As a Senior Autonomous Release Engineer you will lead the solution of challenging and complex problems facing vehicle autonomy. You will lead the design of future May autonomy systems and track down and solve the system’s most difficult issues.
- Autonomous Release Engineers are responsible for the integrated functioning of the autonomy system. Release Engineers interact with sensor hardware, middleware, autonomy software stack, networking, health monitoring, compute platforms and electronic systems.
