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

We are looking for a software engineer with a strong background in game engine/realtime development. As a realtime 3D specialist, you will work with Unreal Engine to further develop our simulation capabilities for virtual environments for autonomous vehicles. This role will focus on bridging our core simulation engine with the game engine as well as developing new gameplay type features within Unreal. At Applied, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

At Applied, you will

  • Work on a new exciting simulation framework for detailed 3D simulation at massive scale
  • Utilize Cesium to create massive scale simulation environments.
  • Customize plugins in Unreal for content ingestion creation and more
  • Integrate engines into Applied Intuition’s simulation workflow for seamless customer experience
  • Deploy engines on various platforms (local or cloud) based on customer needs
  • Optimize our simulations based on performance and accuracy needs

We’re Looking For Someone Who

  • Has 3+ years experience in developing and maintaining game engines at an AAA game studio
  • Has a background in deploying and optimizing software on multiple platforms (on-prem/cloud)
  • Is an expert in best practices for game engine architecture for scalability and flexibility
  • Is familiar with both Unreal and Content workflows

Nice to have

  • Prior experience in shipping Unreal Engine games
  • Prior work in either autonomous vehicles or simulation products
  • Experienced with integrating third party physics libraries
  • Experience with Houdini or other DCC packages (Maya 3DS Max or Blender)
  • Experience with networking and multiplayer usecases.

Autonomy is one of the leading technological advances of this century that will come to impact our lives. The work you’ll do at Applied will meaningfully accelerate the efforts of the top autonomy teams in the world. At Applied, you will have a unique perspective on the development of cutting edge technology while working with major players across the industry and the globe

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: $173,400 - $232,925 USD annually.
