Job description
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. Applied Intuition services the automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture industries in three core areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy. Eighteen of the top 20 global automakers, as well as the United States military and its allies, trust the company’s solutions to deliver physical intelligence. Applied Intuition is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Washington, D.C.;
Job responsibilities
- Own calibration across a growing multi-platform fleet: onboard new vehicle types, root-cause production failures, and convert what you learn into reusable workflows
- Drive cross-team work that raises the reliability of the entire calibration path — partner with build, hardware, and infrastructure teams to trace failures to their source
- Build and operate cloud workflow orchestration for calibration at fleet scale, from data collection through evaluation and deployment
- Design automated data-health gates that catch bad IMU/INS, GNSS/RTK, lidar, and camera data before it reaches the calibration path
- Ship production-quality tooling that non-expert internal users can run themselves
- Debug across the cloud/vehicle boundary — tracing root causes through orchestration and application logs one day, verifying how a sensor is actually wired the next
Job requirements
- A track record of driving technical work across team boundaries: comfortable raising problems with the teams that own them, building agreement on systemic fixes, and following through without formal authority
- 4+ years building and operating production software systems, with strong Python and modern C++
- Demonstrated ownership of a pipeline, platform, or internal tool that other teams depended on
- Hands-on depth with a cloud workflow orchestration framework (Flyte preferred; Airflow, Argo, etc.), plus CI/CD, containerization, and data pipelines over large binary or log data
- Strength in debugging systems from logs when the surface symptom is misleading
- Enough sensor and robotics data literacy to reason about validity: what good IMU/INS, GNSS/RTK, lidar, and camera data looks like, and how to design a check that catches bad data
- Experience with physical systems, sensors, or hardware-in-the-loop
- Automates recurring failures out of existence
