Full Job Description
About the role

We are looking for highly ambitious engineers with a passion for driving customer success at the highest levels. This is not a typical engineering role; it's a unique opportunity to operate at the intersection of groundbreaking technology and critical customer impact. You will be entrusted to own the outcome of our most strategic customer engagements, leading the charge on high-stakes initiatives that directly accelerate the industry's adoption of safe, software-centric, AI-driven machines globally.

Note: This role may require relocation several times per year to various customer sites. For most of 2026, the target location will be in Austrailia.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
  • Own end-to-end field deployment of Applied's product lines at customer sites leading integrations of systems from initial setup through steady-state operations
  • Partner with customer operations leadership and frontline teams (control room, field ops, maintenance, etc) to establish clear roles, decision paths, and day-to-day operating procedures
  • Drive safe operational readiness by translating safety philosophy and "non-negotiable" critical controls into site procedures, training, and go/no-go criteria
  • Act as the technical escalation point on-site: triage issues, collect logs/telemetry, reproduce problems, and prioritize fixes with the broader engineering team while keeping customers unblocked
  • Monitor deployment health and performance (uptime, throughput, latency, intervention rates), then drive continuous improvement with the customer, internal engineering teams and applied leadership
We're looking for someone who has:
  • 3+ years of experience supporting technology deployed on heavy equipment, construction machinery, mining trucks, or similar off-road vehicles
  • Prior experience working in the mining/construction industry
  • Hands-on experience with field installations, including wiring harnesses, sensors, ECUs, power systems, and vehicle interfaces
  • Experience deploying and supporting software systems in production or customer environments
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, electrical, and networking domains
  • Comfortable working in active construction or industrial environments
  • Ability to work independently, own outcomes, and make sound technical decisions in the field
  • Strong communication skills and comfort acting as the primary customer-facing engineer
  • Willingness to be based on-site in Louisiana for extended periods
Nice to have:
  • Background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, or related technical fields
  • Prior work in autonomous vehicle development domains
  • Familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, vehicle diagnostics, and logging tools
  • Experience working with Linux-based systems in the field
