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 full-time 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. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions
The Stack Tooling team builds software infrastructure across multiple autonomy verticals to help engineering teams test, analyze failures, and deploy faster. The team works on problems central to production autonomy rollout: local and cloud simulation realism, performance, and scale-up, autonomy CI and deployment pipelines, data pipelines for fast decision-making on new changes.
As a Software Engineer on this team, you will execute highly cross-functional projects supporting autonomy developers, systems engineers, and triage and release teams. The work done by the team aims to cover multiple autonomy domains at once — a change that impacts trucking can quickly scale out to cars and offroad vehicles.
Work on consolidating common dependencies (simulation artifacts, testing methods, agentic development loops, etc.) into a single ecosystem
Integrate with cutting edge neural rendering tools and Applied's Dana platform to enable faster analysis and stronger conclusions.
Enable safety-critical event analysis and response, pushing the limits of realistic log resimulation
Increase hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation testing fidelity so autonomy engineers detect issues before rollout to the road.
Stabilize, generalize, and scale code deployment and offboard vehicle pre-checks to eliminate vehicle downtime and maximize testing uptime
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field
3+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production-grade code
Strong foundational programming experience in C++
Experience maintaining critical path developer tooling infrastructure
Experience with cloud infrastructure and/or managing resources in customer environments
Preferred Master’s degree in Robotics or other autonomy-related engineering field
Prior experience with data pipelining architectures, maps validity, or metrics and evaluation frameworks
Exposure to software simulation tooling and either RL-based, physics-based, or reconstruction-based simulation runtimes
Prior experience working on perception modeling, planning, controls, or other onboard robotics functions
Previous background working with automotive OEMs, autonomous vehicles, or robotic development platforms
