About the RoleThe 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.
At Applied Intuition, you will:- 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
We're looking for someone who has:- 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
Nice to have:- 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
Compensation & BenefitsCompensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.
Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.
