About the role
As Lead Simulation Engineer, you will architect and scale our core autonomous vehicle simulation engine, adapter layers, and unified evaluation metrics backend. You will drive the development of high-fidelity vehicle dynamics, multi-body physics, rendering, and sensor-simulation pipelines while guaranteeing stack-wide determinism and performance.
What they're looking for
- Success in this role typically requires the following competencies:
- Deep expertise in modern C++ and Python for performance-critical systems programming
- Strong software architecture skills for large, modular simulation or robotics systems, including deterministic, reproducible environments
- Solid grounding in vehicle dynamics, multi-body physics, or related numerical modeling
- Familiarity with autonomy or robotics middleware and integrating heterogeneous components into a coherent system
- B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
More about this 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 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. And we’re just getting started. 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.
