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 300,000 autonomy-enabled 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.

  • Design, build, and implement advanced statistical and machine learning models to extract meaningful temporal features from sequential data.
  • Develop and apply sophisticated techniques to derive and utilize geospatial features.
  • Implement algorithms for auto-tagging, classification, and clustering of similar data points using a combination of temporal, geospatial, and other relevant features.
  • Analyze, validate, and optimize models to ensure high accuracy and performance in real-world scenarios.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate models into production systems and ensure scalability.
  • Visualize and communicate complex data insights, model performance, and analytical findings to cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  • Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, adhering to best practices for data science development.
Skills
  • Exceptional analytical skills with a proven ability to manipulate, analyze, and extract insights from large, complex, and high-dimensional datasets.
  • Deep expertise in temporal feature extraction techniques from time-series data
  • Strong understanding and practical experience with geospatial data analysis, feature engineering, and spatial reasoning.
  • Proficiency in designing and implementing algorithms for classification, clustering, and feature selection.
  • Expertise in machine learning algorithms, including deep learning architectures relevant to sequential and spatial data.
  • Strong programming skills in Python with extensive experience in data science libraries.
  • Experience with big data frameworks such as PySpark for distributed data processing.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a meticulous focus on model validation, robustness, and accuracy.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Qualifications and ExperienceRequired
  • B.S, M.S. or Ph.D. Degree in Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Math, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Data Scientist with a strong focus on advanced analytics and machine learning.
  • Demonstrated experience in extracting and leveraging temporal and geospatial features from large, complex datasets, including sensor and video data.
  • Proven track record of developing and deploying models for classification, clustering, and/or auto-tagging in production environments.
  • Extensive experience with programming languages such as Python and big data frameworks like PySpark.
  • Experience working with large and complex datasets from various sources (e.g., databases, object storage).
  • Track record of writing optimized, scalable, and well-documented code.
Desirable
  • Background in robotics, autonomous systems, or computer vision, with an understanding of perception systems and their data outputs.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, including services relevant to data storage, processing, and machine learning.
  • Familiarity with data engineering principles, including building and maintaining robust data pipelines.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
