Job Summary

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 a big part of our strategy to achieve this.

We are looking for a versatile Simulation Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This role is unique: you will help maintain our core simulation interface while also building out the surrounding ecosystem that turns raw simulation results into meaningful, actionable insights.
Essential Responsibilities
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance the simulation interface and APIs to support continuous AV system development.
  • Collaborate with data team members and other stakeholders to identify, implement, and validate software to measure autonomous vehicle performance indicators.
  • Develop, maintain, and support simulation tools to support the validation of safety and performance of autonomous vehicles.
  • Design and build systems to manage the simulation test portfolio and test results, improving simulation test discoverability and usefulness across the organization.
  • Work with cross functional teams to develop software and system requirements.
  • Initiate and participate in team product quality activities including design reviews, code reviews, and documentation
Skills and Abilities

Success in this role typically requires the following competencies:
