  • Conduct in-depth, data-driven problem analysis.
  • Clarify ambiguous requirements and prioritize competing technical tasks.
  • Proactively assess and mitigate risks.
  • Maintain detailed status tracking of projects.
  • Foster effective cross-functional collaboration with teams including autonomy, vehicle engineering, software, product, finance, and operations.
  • Scope, plan, and track autonomy projects, providing leadership in decision-making.
  • Understand technical architectures, propose alternatives, clarify priorities, and identify process efficiencies.
  • Proactively remove obstacles, identify communication/schedule gaps, support teams with competing priorities, and drive results.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external partners, aligning their needs with May Mobility's product vision.
  • Guide autonomy engineering in developing tools and processes to identify risks and coordinate on-time, high-quality product delivery, with a focus on data-driven decisions.
  • Consolidate input from various teams to produce and distribute project work plans, procurement requests, statements of work, program plans, and Gantt charts; lead teams without direct supervisory authority.
  • Coordinate and facilitate workshops, managing agendas, tracking progress, and ensuring accountability for outstanding items.

  • High level of initiative; enthusiastic about taking on challenges, even those outside core responsibilities, to ensure project success.
  • Strong understanding of software and hardware development lifecycles, ML feature cycles, data infrastructure/pipelines, AI product development, integration processes, and test/validation complexity, with an emphasis on SDLC.
  • Technical understanding of driving data and autonomy development.
  • Ability to integrate data-driven insights with real-world experience for decision-making.
  • Comprehensive understanding of autonomy systems and the downstream impact of their components.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to execute tasks to completion.
  • Proactive project leadership, focusing on achieving results rather than merely managing task lists.
  • Aptitude for clarifying and documenting complex requirements to facilitate efficient problem-solving.
  • Clear and concise communication of technical concepts, including root cause analysis, technical challenges, solutions, and data-backed results.
  • Effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Desirable: Working knowledge of the autonomous vehicle industry; prior project/program management experience; understanding of startup dynamics; previous experience with autonomy systems.
