Applied Intuition is looking to solve the problem of accelerating the global adoption of safe, AI-driven machines by developing and integrating complex autonomy and vehicle intelligence systems.
Requirements
- Experience with software programming languages: C++ preferred
- Experience integrating autonomy/robotics products with Pixhawk autopilots (ArduPilot and/or PX4)
- Experience integrating with communication busses & protocols: UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI/QSPI, I2C, Ethernet
- Experience developing in Docker, containerized deployment environments, and using Linux-based operating systems (e.g., RHEL, Ubuntu)
- Experience using git, Visual Studio Code, GitLab
- Familiarity with real-time, edge computing, and safety-critical systems operating in software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), test & operational environments
- Experience in modern C++ (2011, 2017, or 2020 standards), Bash, and CMake
Responsibilities
- Adapt and develop modular and agile autonomy capabilities across diverse defense problems
- Integrate and deploy autonomy solutions onto embedded Linux and other hardware platforms, including interfacing with sensors and collecting data
- Troubleshoot complex integration and software issues to ensure high reliability and performance
- Integrate autonomy software into hardware in collaboration with autonomy engineers that supports full integration with aircraft autopilots, datalinks, sensors, PNT/GPS/INS, ground control stations, etc.
- Support live flight test of autonomy software on group 1-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
- Collaborate with 3rd party UAS vehicle vendors on the integration of EpiSci autonomy software onto OEM UAS hardware
- Conduct system-level setup, testing, and validation, including software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop evaluations
Other
- BS or MS in Robotics, Computer Science or related engineering field
- 2+ years of hands-on experience working with robotic systems (hardware, software, and integration)
- Excellent communication skills and customer-oriented project delivery mindset
- Willingness to travel frequently for on-site integration and demonstrations (estimated 10–20%)
- U.S. Citizenship
