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.

About The Role

The Data and Test Flywheel Engineer will be a key member of Applied Intuition’s data flywheel initiative — building the systems that connect vehicle data collection, training, and automated model improvement. You’ll create the infrastructure that allows our autonomous driving stack to continuously learn from real-world and simulation data, accelerating development across teams working on perception, planning, and control.

This role sits at the intersection of large-scale data engineering and machine learning infrastructure. You’ll work closely with ML engineers and system developers to automate data selection, curation, and model iteration so our vehicles can self-improve with minimal human intervention.

At Applied Intuition, You Will

  • Build and maintain large-scale data processing pipelines (ETL) for ingesting and curating driving datasets.
  • Design and implement systems that automate data selection, labeling, training, and testing loops.
  • Collaborate with modeling teams to improve training efficiency and model performance across iterations.
  • Develop the core infrastructure that closes the loop between real-world test results and new model deployments.
  • Use your engineering expertise to help Applied Intuition’s vehicles learn from data at scale, improving safety and performance.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to defining best practices for data-centric development.

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

  • Bachelor's or higher degree in Engineering such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering
  • 3–5 years of experience in software or data infrastructure engineering.
  • Expertise in building and scaling data pipelines, distributed systems, or ML infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in Python and strong knowledge of data frameworks (Spark, Airflow, Kafka, etc.).
  • Experience working with large-scale datasets and understanding data-driven development cycles.
  • Familiarity with machine learning workflows or model training/deployment, especially automation of those processes.
  • Strong systems thinking and ability to work across multiple parts of the stack (data, infra, and ML).
  • Interest in seeing the direct impact of your infrastructure work on how vehicles perform and improve.

Nice To Have

  • Experience with automotive (AV) or robotics systems.
  • Previous work on ML platforms for large-scale products (e.g., Ads, Recommendation, or Autonomy pipelines).
  • Experience with highly automated ML training workflows.
  • Prior contributions to systems that connect data-driven model iteration loops (“data flywheel”).
  • Ability to move fast, learn quickly, and mentor others while growing with the team.

Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.

Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.

Please reference the job posting’s subtitle for where this position will be located. For pay transparency purposes, the base salary range for this full-time position in the location listed is: $125,000 - $222,000 USD annually.

Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
