About the role
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. Launched in 2017 with a strong team of experienced roboticists and software engineers with decades of experience fielding robotic systems in the wild, May Mobility is looking to expand its team of robotics engineers with a background in robotics or autonomous vehicles.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement and own ML metrics and evaluation pipelines spanning offline model evaluation, simulation and on-road performance.
- Build and maintain test, regression and hillclimbing suites that gate model and stack releases, including automated triage of regressions to root cause.
- Drive model improvement through loss analysis, error mining, and data balancing/curation strategies for training and evaluation sets.
Qualifications and Experience
- Required Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field with strong mathematical and engineering foundations.
- A minimum of 2 years building evaluation, metrics, or data analysis systems for ML in production.
- Proficiency in Python (NumPy/Pandas or equivalent dataframe tooling) with experience in Linux environments.
- Familiarity with basic concepts in Machine Learning (losses, train/eval splits, common failure modes) and basic Perception and Planning concepts in Autonomous Driving.
Skills and Abilities
- Designing quantitative metrics and statistical analyses that translate model behavior into actionable, decision-grade signals (significance, slicing, long-tail analysis).
- Building evaluation and analytics frameworks in production, including dataset slicing, result aggregation and dashboarding at scale.
- Applying data-centric ML methods such as hard-example mining, resampling/reweighting and curriculum or balance adjustments to lift model performance.
