What they're building

Autonomy software and ML around the MPDM stack strong signal

Today: MPDM lets our vehicles learn on the fly (company site)

Roles: Lead Machine Learning Engineer · Lead ML/Perception Engineer · Director, Autonomy Perception · Director, Autonomy Behavior · Machine Learning Engineer II - Autonomous Driving Training Infrastructure

Requirements mention: Vision Language Action · Generative World Models · End-to-End driving · open-vocabulary detection · reinforcement learning · MPDM simulations

Inference: the perception and ML leads ask for foundation-model and end-to-end learning skills, and a training-infrastructure role supports them. This points to more learned components and training pipelines alongside MPDM. The Behavior director posting ties directly to MPDM's reinforcement-learning approach.

Simulation and virtual testing moderate signal

Today: "This role works on May Mobility's virtual testing ecosystem" (Manager, Simulation Operations posting)

Roles: Manager, Simulation Infrastructure · Manager, Simulation Operations

Requirements mention: software-in-the-loop (SiL) testing workflows · OpenSCENARIO · Kubernetes · synthetic data generation pipelines

Inference: simulation tooling and the team that runs it are being built out, based on two manager-level postings.

Driver-out L4 deployment, safety case and Japan launches strong signal

Today: May Mobility's autonomous ride-hail preview is now live on Lyft (company site)

Roles: Director, System Safety · Lead, Safety Assurance · Senior Product Safety Architect II · Senior Systems Engineer

Requirements mention: Driver-Out (DO) gated deployment plan · SGO incident narratives · safety case · NHTSA exemption frameworks

Inference: the Director, System Safety posting describes 'L4 commercial expansion across the US and Japan', and the Senior Systems Engineer posting supports 'future autonomous vehicle launches in Japan'. Another posting says the company already operates driverless shuttles as a daily service. The implied next step is extending driver-out operation to more US and Japan deployments.

Mapping and localization moderate signal

Today: "From rural Minnesota to Atlanta and to the dense streets of Japan" (company site)

Roles: Lead ML Engineer - Lane & Route Network Mapping · Lead ML Engineer - Mapping · Lead Machine Learning Engineer - Localization

Requirements mention: HD maps · lane-level topology · feature detection/description · 3D reconstruction

Inference: three lead-level ML roles sit in the Autonomy Mapping & Localization group. The Mapping posting describes the work as the 'next generation of the mapping and localization stack'.

Next Gen Autonomous Driving Kit (ADK) and vehicle interfaces strong signal

Today: "connect the critical components of May Mobility's Autonomous Driving Kit (ADK)" (Senior Vehicle Communications Architect posting)

Roles: Senior Systems Engineer - Sensor Selection · Senior Vehicle Communications Architect · Lead Vehicle Controls and Interface Engineer

Requirements mention: Next Gen Autonomous Driving Kit · ADK 6.0 · automotive Ethernet · Adaptive AUTOSAR

Inference: the Lead Vehicle Controls posting describes the kit as 'portable across the widest possible variety of vehicle platforms'. The next step appears to be a kit that runs on more vehicle types.

Onsite vehicle operations in Atlanta and Arlington, TX moderate signal

Today: "May Mobility x Lyft: Bringing Autonomous Rides to Atlanta" (company site)

Roles: Senior Autonomous Vehicle Operations Specialist · Autonomous Vehicle Operations Specialist

Requirements mention: incident response drills · Ability to coach and lead by example · High comfort level with making judgment calls in ambiguous situations

Inference: onsite operations roles are open in Atlanta, GA, where the Lyft preview runs, and in Arlington, TX.

Autonomy Engineering holds 20 of 38 open roles and 19 roles are remote. 3 roles opened in the last 30 days against 9 in the prior 30, with none closed.

Who they need

Seniority: Mostly senior (15) and staff (7), plus 5 director and 4 manager roles; 6 mid-level and 1 junior.

Skills named most: Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology, Python, Linux, autonomous vehicles (AVs), C++, requirements management, requirement-based design, radar, root cause analysis, LIDAR, PyTorch, SQL

Locations: USA - Remote (17 roles); Ann Arbor, MI - Hybrid (12), Ann Arbor, MI - Onsite (4), Ann Arbor, MI - Remote (2), Arlington, TX - Onsite (1), Atlanta, GA - Onsite (1), Ann Arbor, MI with no arrangement stated (1), as stated in the postings.

How to use this

If you're applying: Check the department and location first. 20 of 38 roles are Autonomy Engineering, and half (19) are remote, mostly listed as USA - Remote. Ann Arbor hybrid and onsite roles are the largest local group. Match the hard requirements in each posting, such as Linux, C++ or Python, before applying.

If you're selling or recruiting: Open with the 20 Autonomy Engineering roles. New openings fell from 9 to 3 over the last two 30-day periods, with none closed, so expect a backlog rather than a surge. Ask who owns MPDM perception, simulation, the ADK, or the Japan launch work before calling about a specific title.
