Applied Intuition

About Applied Intuition

Applied Intuition, Inc. is powering the future of physical AI. Founded in 2017 and now valued at $15 billion, the Silicon Valley company is creating the digital infrastructure needed to bring intelligence to every moving machine on the planet. Applied Intuition services the automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture industries in three core areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy. Eighteen of the top 20 global automakers, as well as the United States military and its allies, trust the company’s solutions to deliver physical intelligence. Applied Intuition is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Washington, D.C.; San Diego; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Ann Arbor, Michigan; London; Stuttgart; Munich; Stockholm; Bangalore; Seoul; and Tokyo. Learn more at applied.co.

We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

At Applied Intuition, You Will

  • Drive the overall strategy, technical roadmap, and architecture for behavior planning dedicated to L2 and L4 autonomous vehicles for cars, trucks, mining & construction, and offroad
  • Guide the design and implementation of robust, safety-critical algorithms for various driving domains, including urban streets, highways, dirt roads, and diverse environmental conditions
  • Grow and manage a team of world class engineers in the field of behavior systems
  • Evolve the architecture to achieve the final goal of an L4 end-to-end stack
  • Work cross functionally with other teams, including Perception, Research, Simulation, and Vehicle Operations, to ensure the robust and efficient integration of the behavior software stack

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

  • 5+ years of experience in robotics or autonomous systems, with a focus on behavior systems
  • Experience in two or more of the following: behavior planning, decision making under uncertainty, path planning, motion planning, probabilistic reasoning, prediction, machine learning, trajectory generation, mapless driving, end-to-end autonomy stack
  • Demonstrated ability to architect large-scale, production software for real-world robotic or automotive systems
  • Proven leadership experience managing engineering teams, setting goals, and overseeing technical projects
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Nice To Have

  • Direct experience working in end-to-end autonomy
  • Hands-on experience building ML-driven and rule-based behavior planning (and their interplay), intent detection, or risk assessment modules
  • Demonstrated success in applying machine learning and AI processes to complex decision-making frameworks for autonomous vehicles
