Robotics Integration Engineer (TL)
Job description
About the role The Industrials team automates and adds intelligence to heavy machinery across construction, mining, and agriculture. As a Senior Robotics & Integration Engineer, you will own the software and hardware platform that our intelligent autonomy stack runs on — everything from networking, time synchronization, sensors and drivers, and middleware, down to embedded systems, drive-by-wire, and low-level controls actuation. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and robotics, blending 0→1 development with production systems and direct product and customer-facing work.
Applied Intuition, Inc. is powering the future of physical AI.
Job responsibilities
- Own the vehicle platform end-to-end: networking, time synchronization, sensor selection and drivers, middleware integration, embedded software, drive-by-wire, and low-level controls actuation
- Architect and deliver full-system platform capabilities spanning hardware and software, taking them from 0→1 prototypes through to reliable production systems deployed on heavy machinery
- Integrate the cross-functional work of internal teams into cohesive, product-ready platforms adapted to customer machines and use cases
- Interact directly with customers to identify target use cases, define platform requirements, and drive integrations through to successful deployment in the field
- Lead and coordinate a team of engineers: set technical direction, prioritize across competing workstreams, and manage cross-functional dependencies with internal teams
- Design and bring up test rigs and validation infrastructure for end-to-end system testing, hardware-in-the-loop verification, and on-vehicle validation
- Debug, test, and troubleshoot complex interactions across the full stack — from sensor timing and network behavior to actuation and controls — to ensure reliability and system performance in harsh, real-world…
Job requirements
- 5+ years of experience in robotics, systems integration, or platform software development, with demonstrated technical leadership or tech lead experience
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related area
- Deep, hands-on experience across the robotics platform stack: sensors and drivers, networking and time synchronization, middleware (e.g., ROS 2, DDS, or proprietary frameworks), and embedded systems
- Strong development experience in C/C++ on Linux, including debugging and testing complex real-time systems
- Experience with vehicle actuation and low-level controls, such as drive-by-wire systems and controller integration
- Strong understanding of electronic systems and how to set up, instrument, and debug them
- Ability to coordinate and prioritize across multiple engineers and cross-functional teams to deliver on customer commitments
