Engineering Manager - Axion

Job description

The Axion team is mission-critical: enabling development, test, integration and deployment of collaborative autonomous systems in contested environments. You’ll be working at the intersection of high-fidelity simulation, autonomy software, hardware platforms, and human-machine interfaces.

Applied Intuition, Inc. is powering the future of physical AI. Founded in 2017 and now valued at $15 billion, the Silicon Valley company is creating the digital infrastructure needed to bring intelligence to every moving machine on the planet.

We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead, coach, and grow a team of engineers (individual contributors, leads) working on one or more Axion modules (e.g., simulation engine, mission-control UI, hardware integration pipeline)
  • Define and own the technical roadmap for your area: translate product vision into deliverables, ensure alignment with overall Axion strategy
  • Drive software engineering best practices: architecture design, code reviews, CI/CD, test automation, performance/scalability, quality metrics
  • Manage project execution: planning sprints/releases, monitoring progress, identifying risks/blockers, ensuring delivery of milestones on time and to quality
  • Work with product management and UX/design to refine requirements, make trade-offs, and ensure that the engineering roadmap maps to user/customer value and field readiness
  • Collaborate with hardware/integration and operations teams to ensure seamless delivery of autonomy toolchain across simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), live platforms
  • Ensure the team is set up for high-impact: recruiting top talent, setting clear goals, fostering a culture of ownership, iteration, and innovation
  • Communicate status, risk, and outcomes to senior leadership; escalate as needed; provide engineering input for business decisions

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (advanced degree preferred)
  • Proven experience (e.g., 3 – 5+ years) in software engineering roles with increasing responsibility, and at least 1 – 2 years in a leadership role (team lead, manager) delivering complex systems
  • Strong technical background: architecture, design, implementation and delivery of large-scale, high-performance software systems (ideally simulation, real-time, autonomy, robotics, or hardware integration)
  • Experience managing full software development lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, maintenance
  • Experience in mentoring and growing engineering teams: recruiting, performance management, career development, building high-performing teams
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills: able to work cross-functionally with product, UX/design, hardware/integration, operations, senior leadership
  • Comfort in a fast-paced, highly-ambiguous environment; ability to make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, and scalability
  • US citizenship. You must already have or be eligible to receive an active US Top Secret security clearance upon onboarding to this role
