A venture-backed autonomy and simulation company with roots in automotive is building a dedicated defense command-and-control product team, signaling that its 'physical AI' platform is being pushed into military operations and not just vehicles.
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.; San Diego; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Ann Arbor, Michigan; London; Stuttgart; Munich; Stockholm; Bangalore; Seoul; and Tokyo. Learn more at applied.co.
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. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions
The Mission Control team at Applied Intuition builds a tailored suite of UIs that enable our defense customers to interact with our autonomy stack, also known as a C2 (Command and Control). Our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi-agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.
This role is a "startup within a startup” moving with day-long iteration cycles, and supplying much-needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry.
Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive frontend platform. This will include:
Data-oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data
Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures
Frontend UI/UX (including 2D/3D rendering and selection tools) for Defense applications including mission planning/debrief, command and control, and simulation tools
Design and implement a data-oriented frontend UI/UX platform, including 2D/3D graphics & visualizations of live agents in the world.
Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows, developing a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX
Work with other teams to integrate your frontend implementation with a state-of-the-art in-house simulator, data-transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications
3+ years experience with full-stack web development
Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems
A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces
A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related discipline
