About this role
May Mobility is seeking a Senior Autonomy Technical Project Manager to lead cross-functional teams tackling some of the hardest problems in autonomous vehicle development. You'll work at the intersection of engineering and leadership, diving deep into complex technical challenges—analyzing data to understand root causes, clarifying ambiguous requirements, prioritizing competing tasks, and orchestrating solutions across autonomy, vehicle engineering, software, product, finance, and operations. This role demands someone who started as an engineer, discovered a talent for managing people and projects, and wants to apply that combination to work that has real-world impact on how cities move.
The position requires at least five years of technical project management experience including team leadership, ideally in fast-paced R&D environments, plus a minimum of two years managing direct reports. You'll need strong communication skills to translate technical concepts for both specialist and non-technical audiences, a solid grasp of software and hardware development lifecycles, and the initiative to own problems end-to-end. A bachelor's degree in engineering or computer science (or equivalent technical background) is required; prior experience in autonomous vehicles is a bonus but not mandatory.
This is a hybrid role based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with occasional travel to operational sites. May Mobility offers comprehensive healthcare, retirement benefits with immediate vesting, generous parental leave, and flexible vacation. The salary range is $150,000–$180,000.
