Role
Who you are
- Passion about tackling challenging control problems involving a wide array of vehicles in challenging off-road environments
- 3+ years of experience building production software using modern software practices
- Hands-on experience testing controls solutions on and characterizing the dynamics of real vehicles
- Fluency in differential equations, numerical optimization, numerical analysis, and physics
- Enthusiasm for coming up with practical solutions to cutting-edge challenges in a fast-paced environment
Desirable
- MS or PhD in mechanical engineering or computer science with coursework or research experience in controls
- Experience writing software that is compliant with guidelines for safety-critical C++ code, such as MISRA and AUTOSAR
- Experience developing real-time solvers for optimization problems (e.g., quadratic programs) that arise in controls problem formulations
- Experience writing high-performance C++ code
- Experience working with large industrial vehicles in off-road environments
What the job involves
- Design and implement controls modules that can be deployed on off-road vehicles for autonomous navigation
- Characterize the dynamics of our customers’ vehicles to create tailored controls solutions and to reduce the gap between simulation and real-world dynamics
- Develop or use high-performance solvers for optimization problems to implement optimal-control-based controls methods such as model predictive control
- Collaborate with customers’ engineers and manage customer relationships
Our take
Autonomous vehicles present a lot of challenging problems to engineers, particularly in terms of safety and reliability, and testing and development can be infamously slow. Applied Intuition provides software to run simulations and tests for autonomous vehicles more quickly and effectively, speeding up the development and launch of AVs for multiple industries.
With big companies such as Tesla and Google focused on developing automation, Applied Intuition has the scope to provide the software that makes it a reality. The company’s suite of simulation, validation, and drive log management software aids in the more efficient deployment of autonomous vehicles, with companies such as Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors relying on its solutions.
As the autonomous vehicles market accelerates, Applied Intuition is well set for growth, especially as it continues to expand its capabilities. Notable developments include the acquisitions of CarSim, Scenebox and Embark Trucks, as well as partnerships with AMBA and Valeo. All these efforts seek to bolster the company's offering towards supporting the faster and safer deployment of AVs.
