Robotics Engineer II

About the role

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 provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps, and move people safely and efficiently. We’re building the world’s best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access, and fostering vibrant, 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, solving real-world problems, and seeing the impact of their work.
