They are levels in the management track.

M: Manager D: Director

The rough matching of levels is: M0, E5 or senior engineer, M1 to E6 or staff engineer, M2 for manager of managers, etc.

Director is the level above M2.

It's their designator for management path employees. I'm assuming it's (D)irector and (M)anager.
