Lead ML Engineer - Lane & Route Network Mapping

$220k - $270k
Full-time

May Mobility, Inc.

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.

The Autonomy Mapping & Localization group's mission is to provide our vehicles with world-class spatial intelligence, semantic and topological mapping, and state estimation to model and navigate complex urban, suburban, and rural environments. We are looking for a Lead ML Engineer to join our team and architect the next generation of our mapping and localization stack. As the Lead ML Engineer for Lane & Route Network Mapping, you will be at the forefront of this mission, building the production-grade semantic and topological foundation that allows our vehicles to understand and navigate the world's most challenging roads at scale.

Essential Responsibilities



  • Lead the research, design, architecture, training and validation of advanced neural networks for vectorized mapping (e.g., MapTR), multi-camera BEV transformers, and multimodal fusion models to extract and model lane and route networks for both high-fidelity offline pipelines and real-time online mapping.

  • Architect, design, and implement a production-grade lane and route network mapping stack, ensuring high-performance integration with upstream and downstream modules like Perception, Behavior, Policy, and Prediction.

  • Drive major feature development from inception to deployment. This includes high-level architecture design, rigorous code reviews, automated testing, mentorship of junior engineers, and technical resolution.

  • Own the end-to-end data strategy for the mapping domain, specifically focusing on lane and route networks. You will define data curation, auto-labeling, synthetic data, and active learning pipelines to capture and resolve long-tail scenarios.

  • Develop robust metrics and evaluation frameworks for lane and route network accuracy, temporal consistency, and scaling across diverse Operational Design Domains (ODDs).

  • Work independently with cross-functional teams to translate complex autonomy goals into clear software and system requirements.

  • Collaborate with ML and Autonomy engineers to ensure the seamless deployment and validation of mapping features to the vehicle fleet.

  • Stay at the research frontier by evaluating, adapting, and innovating cutting-edge techniques, including online vectorized HD map construction, end-to-end mapping models, and vision/fusion Foundation Models to deliver production-ready solutions.

Qualifications and Experience


Candidates most successful in this role typically hold the following qualifications or comparable knowledge or experience:

Required



  • Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field with a strong mathematical and engineering foundation.

  • 7+ years of industry experience developing and deploying ML/DL models for mapping or computer vision at scale.

  • Deep expertise in several of the following areas:


    • Vectorized mapping networks (e.g., MapTR), BEV-based scene representation, and temporal modeling.

    • Cross-modal calibration and fusion (e.g., Camera-to-LiDAR) within Bird’s-Eye-View (BEV) unified representation spaces.

    • Transformers or Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) applied to structured lane geometry and topological connectivity.

    • Lane-level topology and connectivity, intersection modeling, and lane/road network graph construction.

    • Computer Vision Foundations: Object detection, classification, segmentation, tracking, depth estimation, and 3D reconstruction.

  • Strong understanding of HD maps, including lane and road network geometry modeling, connectivity, and semantic attributes.

  • Expertise in ML/DL development using PyTorch or TensorFlow, including experience with distributed training, synthetic data generation, large-scale dataset handling, and data curation strategies.

  • Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ with experience in modular software design and Linux-based development.

  • Proven leadership in guiding technical roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and driving measurable improvements in model performance and system reliability.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to lead technical discussions and align with cross-functional teams.

Desirable



  • 10+ years of experience in ML/DL for autonomous driving or ADAS systems.

  • Experience with self-supervised and/or semi-supervised learning for large-scale representation learning.

  • Experience utilizing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and/or Foundation Models for auto-labeling and long-tail (edge-case) detection.

  • Expertise in ML optimization for real-time products with limited compute, such as quantization, pruning, or distillation of large transformer models.

  • A proven record of inventions and/or publication record at top-tier conferences (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR).

Physical Requirements



  • Standard office working conditions which includes but is not limited to:


    • Prolonged sitting

    • Prolonged standing

    • Prolonged computer use

  • Travel required? - Moderate: 11%-25%







Benefits and Perks


  • Comprehensive healthcare suite including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability plans. Domestic partners who have been residing together at least one year are also eligible to participate. 

  • Health Savings and Flexible Spending Healthcare and Dependent Care Accounts available.

  • Rich retirement benefits, including an immediately vested employer safe harbor match.

  • Generous paid parental leave as well as a phased return to work. 

  • Flexible vacation policy in addition to paid company holidays.

  • Total Wellness Program providing numerous resources for overall wellbeing
