Autonomy Vehicle Systems Integration Engineer

Applied Intuition; Ann Arbor (MI); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Applied Intuition is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to own hardware and software decisions, from compute and sensor architecture to drive-by-wire (DBW) integration. You will work hands-on across hardware, embedded, and autonomy software to take a vehicle from architecture to a working system.

You will define hardware architecture, coordinate wiring and sensor mounting, specify tuning requirements, and collaborate with autonomy and controls teams.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in systems/integration engineering, preferably on automotive, robotics, defense, or autonomy programs.
• Working knowledge of vehicle hardware integration - harnessing, sensor/compute mounting, and hardware architecture.
• Comfortable making and owning real engineering tradeoffs under deadlines (e.g., tuning approach, sensor spec).
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively, including internationally.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to move between deep technical detail and high-level summaries.

Responsibilities

• Define hardware architecture for a build (compute, sensors) and procure long-lead components.
• Coordinate wiring harness design/build and sensor mounting workstreams across teams.
• Specify sensor tuning requirements and track them to closure with hardware and perception teams.
• Scope DBW validation and tuning plans with autonomy and low-level controls teams.
• Travel onsite domestically and internationally to lead vehicle builds and demo prep.
• Collaborate daily across hardware, embedded, and autonomy software teams to resolve issues.
