Lead ML Engineer developing neural networks for lane and route networking at May Mobility. Focus on architecture, design, and validation for autonomous technology solutions.
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.
Requirements
