Role
Who you are
- Passion about turning their domain expertise into tooling that boosts the productivity of teams working on various real-world applications of autonomous systems
- Experience building software components or (sub) systems that address real-world planning and control challenges
- Hands-on experience with more than one domain of relevant software framework or tools, such as middlewares, benchmarking suites, data sets, and related pipelines or algorithmic libraries
- Deep understanding of the concepts and methods behind any frameworks or libraries that they worked with
Desirable
- MSc or PhD in planning, control, or closely related field
- Deep hands-on expertise in relevant algorithms or methods, such as non-linear optimization, computational geometry, numerical analysis, or distributed systems
- Experience building and shipping software frameworks or tools that are used by others than the authors of the framework
What the job involves
- Design and implement platform capabilities and product workflows that provide the best simulation tools for customer teams spanning intelligent behavior planning, control, and safety engineering
- Build out foundational libraries that push our platform beyond the state of the art in terms of performance and fidelity for planning and controls development, such as scalable computational geometry or vehicle-terrain interaction models
- Work closely with in-house and customer engineers to design and build supporting toolchains for these use cases, for instance system identification or the resimulation of disengagement events
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, whilst a $600 million Series F round awarded in 2025 will go towards its next phase of product development, alongside key hires across its product team.
