This role is a hybrid role, based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan.Job SummaryMay's Lead Engineers are front-line problem solvers that get things done. May's lead engineers have the initiative, experience, and technical skills to be able to solve problems delegated to them without oversight. Confidence backed by knowledge and experience is a must.As a Senior Robotics Engineer - LIDAR, you will lead the solution of challenging and complex problems facing vehicle autonomy. You will lead the design of future May autonomy systems and track down and solve the system's most difficult issues.Autonomy system engineers are responsible for the integrated functioning of the autonomy system. Systems engineers interact with vision, LIDAR, RADAR, tracking, intent, decision-making, control, networking, health monitoring, computers, graphics cards, and power. System engineers drive forward architectural design and hardware/software design through collaboration across other engineering groups. You will be a go-to person for understanding how new features will fit in, how the system might fail, how to best evolve the system to be more effective or efficient, and how to keep the system working.As a leader, you will set an example of initiative, data-driven decision-making, design, and troubleshooting.
