Senior Technical Project Manager - Autonomy Deployment

May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May develops and deploys autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by our innovative Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that literally reimagines the way AVs think.

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.

Job Summary 

Do you want to make a difference at a company that is transforming mobility?

Are you an experienced Technical Project or Program Manager with a strong engineering background and a passion for solving complex technical problems? Do you enjoy digging into challenging issues, working with data to understand root causes, and aligning teams to drive solutions?

May Mobility is seeking a highly motivated and proactive Technical Project Manager (TPM) to lead cross-functional teams in solving some of the most challenging problems in autonomous vehicle deployment and operations.

In this role, you will work closely with engineering, autonomy, product, operations, and customer teams to manage the technical lifecycle of autonomous vehicle deployments. This includes clarifying ambiguous requirements, prioritizing competing technical tasks, identifying and mitigating risks, and ensuring detailed and reliable program execution.

Technical Project Managers at May Mobility play a critical role in enabling successful site launches and ongoing operational performance. The role focuses on software deployment and operational performance of autonomy systems, rather than hardware deployment.

This role requires a TPM who takes strong ownership of complex technical and operational challenges and works hands-on with engineering and operations teams to drive problems to resolution.

You will help bridge autonomy software development with real-world deployment, ensuring that new capabilities transition into safe, reliable, and scalable service across May Mobility’s operational sites.

This position involves managing the technical deployment of new sites as well as expanding and improving existing operational sites. Responsibilities include analyzing vehicle and software performance metrics, identifying operational issues, and coordinating with autonomy teams to ensure continuous improvement and successful customer outcomes.

This is a hybrid role based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with occasional travel to operational sites.

Essential Responsibilities

• Work cross-functionally with autonomy, engineering, product, operations, and business teams to scope, plan, and execute technical deployments of new and existing autonomy sites.
• Lead technical program management activities related to autonomy software deployment, ensuring high-quality and on-time site launches.
• Analyze site performance data and operational metrics to identify issues, risks, and improvement opportunities.
• Drive data-informed decision making by identifying the metrics, analyses, and operational insights needed to assess performance, diagnose issues, and prioritize actions.
• Use data, metrics, and operational insights to identify performance trends, diagnose issues, and guide engineering teams toward impactful solutions.
• Coordinate issue tracking and resolution between site operations and autonomy engineering teams.
• Understand software system architecture at a high level and facilitate technical discussions to clarify priorities and drive decisions.
• Proactively identify risks, remove blockers, and maintain execution momentum across teams with competing priorities.
• Serve as a key point of contact between engineering teams, operational sites, and external partners.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure alignment on technical goals and deliverables.
• Plan and coordinate technical demonstrations and milestone reviews with partners and stakeholders.
• Consolidate input from engineering, safety, legal, and business teams to produce project documentation including program plans,
