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

As a Software Engineer, you’ll develop, deploy, and maintain the backbone of all-domain autonomy capabilities, from inter-agent communications to hardware and simulation interfaces. Integration with new vehicles and hardware is a critical function. This position requires both field and office-based work, with significant time spent deploying and testing software on autonomous vehicles in real-world environments.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Systems Engineering: Develop, deploy, and validate software systems on autonomous vehicles, focusing on robotics, sensors, and vehicle autopilots
  • Field Deployment & Testing: Participate in hands-on fieldwork, deploying software on vehicles and ensuring proper functionality in dynamic, real-world environments
  • Interfacing with Sensors and Autopilots: Work directly with sensors (e.g., RADAR, cameras, GPS, SONAR) and vehicle autopilot systems, integrating them into the autonomous vehicle framework
  • Perception & Autonomous Modules: Work with the Perception and Autonomy teams to deploy and optimize perception pipelines (Vision, Radar, Fusion) and vehicle autonomy SW, ensuring robust and safe vehicle operation
  • Communication Systems: Address inter-vehicle communication, ensuring seamless data exchange between vehicles for collaborative autonomous operations
  • Third-Party Software Integration: Interface with and integrate third-party software and APIs into our systems
  • Software Quality & CI/CD: Work on software integration, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, and implement system-related improvements to enhance system performance and reliability
  • Simulation & Testing: Leverage simulation environments to test vehicle systems, validating software behavior in various scenarios before field deployment
  • Collaboration & Documentation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, data scientists, and field operators, to ensure the successful deployment of systems. Document processes and provide updates on system status and improvements

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • BS, MS or PhD in Robotic Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Optimization, or equivalent OR 3+ years of relevant experience designing multi-agent autonomy
  • Strong proficiency in Linux and command-line tools
  • Strong proficiency in Python and/or C++ (most work is in C++)
  • Hands-on experience with robotic systems, sensors (such as RADAR, cameras, radar), and vehicle autopilots (e.g., PX4, ROS)
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, or similar tools for automating deployments and testing
  • Knowledge of communication protocols for inter-vehicle communications (e.g., DDS, UDP, ROS2, etc.)
  • Experience in integrating third-party software and APIs

Travel Requirements:

  • Must be willing to travel as projects requires; average travel varies, but can be up to once a month for up to 1 week (~25%)

Security Requirements:

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen
  • Must hold or be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

Nice to have:

  • Ability to work in field environments, troubleshooting, testing, and deploying systems in challenging conditions
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to document processes and communicate technical concepts to cross-disciplinary teams
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment, as well as working under challenging conditions in remote or field locations
  • Familiarity with maritime vessels and/or airborne drones
