Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Crossman is a senior autonomy leader who combines two decades of hands-on research in cognitive architectures with executive experience scaling autonomy teams and products. Currently Sr. VP of Autonomy at May Mobility, he drives advancement of multi-policy decision making by integrating modern AI techniques with robust online reasoning and rapid deployment practices. Previously he led ASR engineering at Deepgram and ran long-running research programs at Soar Technology, winning and executing over $30M in R&D including DARPA-funded autonomy and unmanned systems efforts. Jacob’s work uniquely emphasizes decision-oriented programming—melding human-like logical reasoning, memory-based learning, and spatial reasoning—to produce robust, fielded autonomy for vehicle teams. Based in Detroit, he blends deep academic roots (MS in Computer Science) with operational leadership across startups and government programs, often moving concepts from cognitive research into production-grade vehicle systems. An uncommon strength is his track record of translating cognitive architectures into practical autonomy stacks that scale from research prototypes to deployed fleets.
