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

ABOUT THE ROLE

Applied Intuition is looking for a Software Engineer (Drone Stack Team) to architect and field advanced autonomy and vehicle intelligence systems that bridge hardware and software. In this role, you'll bring autonomy stacks to life on real vehicle platforms, standing up integrations, running SIL and HIL evaluations, and supporting live testing in the field.

Strong fundamentals in computer networking and code integration, along with genuine enthusiasm for hands-on robotics work, are essential. You'll partner with teams across the company to ship dependable, scalable capabilities to both defense and commercial customers, owning everything from end-to-end hardware-software integration to troubleshooting and customer-facing demos.

AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL:

• Build and tailor modular, rapidly adaptable autonomy capabilities for a wide range of defense missions, fielding them on embedded Linux and other compute platforms while interfacing with onboard sensors and capturing data
• Work alongside autonomy engineers to marry autonomy software with vehicle hardware — achieving full integration with aircraft autopilots, datalinks, sensor payloads, PNT/GPS/INS, and ground control stations — and to build service-oriented-architecture software and inter-process messaging frameworks for autonomous UAS
