Max Knoll
Max Knoll (1897–1969) was a German electrical engineer who co-invented the electron microscope with his student Ernst Ruska in Berlin in 1931 and later proposed the scanning principle behind the scanning electron microscope.
Max L. Williams, Jr
Max L. Williams, Jr. (1922–2013) was an American mechanical and aerospace engineer, a pioneer of fracture mechanics who founded the International Journal of Fracture in 1963.
Max Levchin
Max Levchin, born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1975, is a Ukrainian-American entrepreneur best known as co-founder of PayPal and founder of the buy-now-pay-later lender Affirm.
Max Mathews
Max Vernon Mathews (1926–2011) was an American Bell Labs engineer called the father of computer music; his Music programs underlie synthesis software like Csound and Max/MSP.
Max Miedinger

Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems
The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, also known as MPI-IS, is a Max Planck Society research institute with campuses in Stuttgart and Tübingen, Germany.
Max pooling
Max pooling is a downsampling operation in convolutional neural networks: a sliding window, typically 2 × 2, outputs the maximum value inside it, shrinking feature maps without learning parameters.
Max Q (aerospace)
Max Q, short for maximum dynamic pressure, is the point in a rocket's ascent where aerodynamic forces peak; rockets typically throttle down their engines to fly through it.

Max William Carbon
Max William Carbon was an American nuclear engineer who founded the University of Wisconsin–Madison's nuclear engineering department and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2012.
Max-log approximation detection
Max-log approximation detection is a method for computing soft bit decisions, or log-likelihood ratios, in digital receivers by replacing each sum of likelihood terms with its largest term.
Max-log-MAP algorithm
The Max-log-MAP algorithm is a reduced-complexity approximation of the MAP (BCJR) decoding algorithm that replaces a logarithmic sum with a simple maximum, used in turbo decoders for 3GPP LTE.
Max-min fairness
Max-min fairness is a resource allocation principle that maximizes the minimum share each user receives, then the next-smallest, used in networks, CPU scheduling, and welfare economics.
Max/MSP
Max/MSP is a visual, object-based programming environment for music, audio, video, and interactive media, created by Miller Puckette at IRCAM and developed by Cycling '74.
Maxar Technologies
Maxar Technologies was an American-Canadian space technology company formed in 2017 from MDA and DigitalGlobe, known for WorldView Earth imaging satellites and split into Vantor and Lanteris in 2025.
Maxell
Maxell (マクセル) is a Japanese battery manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo and Kyoto. Established in 1960 as a spin-off of Nitto Electric Industrial, it made Japan's first alkaline dry battery.
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd.
Maxeon Solar Technologies is a Singapore-headquartered manufacturer of solar cells and panels, spun off from SunPower in 2020 and best known for its interdigitated back contact (IBC) cell technology.
Maxim gun
The Maxim gun, the first fully automatic machine gun, was invented by American-born engineer Hiram Maxim, patented in Britain in 1884, and became the standard machine gun into the 1930s.
Maximal marginal relevance
Maximal marginal relevance (MMR) is a ranking criterion in information retrieval that selects documents balancing relevance to the query with dissimilarity from already selected results, reducing redundancy.
Maximal-ratio combining
Maximal-ratio combining (MRC) is a diversity combining technique that weights and sums signals from multiple antennas to maximize output signal-to-noise ratio, defined by Brennan in 1959.
Maxime Beauchemin
Maxime Beauchemin (@mistercrunch) is a software engineer, original creator of Apache Airflow (2014, Airbnb) and Apache Superset (originally Caravel), founder and CEO of Preset, and now builder of the AI-agent orchestration platform Agor.
Maxime Faget
Maxime Faget (1921–2004) was an American aerospace engineer who designed the Mercury capsule, America's first crewed spacecraft, and shaped every NASA vehicle from Mercury through the Shuttle.
