- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related engineering field
- 5+ years of hands-on experience developing Python, C++, and Rust software for autonomous robotic systems
- Experience in developing software for autonomous robotic systems in Python and Rust (C++ is an acceptable substitute)
- Strong object-oriented programming experience that employs clean code principles and good design patterns
- Experience developing in Docker and containerized development environments, using Linux-based operating systems (e.g., RHEL, Ubuntu), source control systems, and artifact registries
- Must be willing to travel as needed, with an estimated frequency of once every two months for durations ranging from two days to one week (approximately 20%)
- Must be a U.S. Citizen
- Must hold or be eligible for a U.S. Secret security clearance with Special Access Program (SAP)

- Design and implement software microservices required for an autonomy software stack to operate aerial systems including F16 fighter jets, group 1-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as simulated models to accomplish tactical military missions
- Collaborate with autonomy engineers to implement production level microservice architectures that leverage interoperability standards and tools (e.g. OMS UCI, ROS2, ZMQ) to control autonomous UASs
- Establish and improve software testing and debugging tools for autonomy solutions implemented as service-oriented architectures
- Design autonomy software in collaboration with autonomy engineers that supports full integration with aircraft autopilots, datalinks, sensors, PNT/GPS/INS, ground control stations, etc
- Collaborate with DoD warfighter domain experts and 3rd party UAS vehicle vendors to develop and integrate autonomy software onto OEM hardware
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.
