About Applied Intuition

Founded in 2017, we deliver the AI-powered ADAS/AD toolchain, vehicle platform, and autonomy stack to help customers shorten time to market, build high-quality systems, and create next-generation consumer experiences. 18 of the top 20 global automakers trust Applied Intuition’s solutions to drive the production of modern vehicles. We serve the automotive, trucking, construction, mining, agriculture, and defense industries and are headquartered in Mountain View, CA, with offices in San Diego, CA, Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Ann Arbor and Detroit, MI, Washington, D.C., Stuttgart, Munich, Stockholm, Seoul, and Tokyo. Learn more at appliedintuition.com.

We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that 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.

About the role

As a Product Designer on Applied Intuition’s design team, it will be your role to understand and solve the deeply complex workflows of our users — software engineers who develop autonomous vehicles. These engineers rely on our tools every day to test and improve the safety of their vehicles, and we are in constant contact with them to ensure our UX solutions are making an impact. We ship new software versions every 5 weeks, which means our design process is built around speed. Designers at Applied Intuition are highly collaborative while also being individually responsible for business critical objectives.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Lead the end-to-end design process for multiple products (from concept through implementation)
• Work quickly to ship new features in 5 week release cycles
• Communicate directly with our users (through Slack, weekly office hours, and in-person meetings) to understand their pain points, autonomy development workflows, and feedback about our tools from their daily usage
• Collaborate closely with PM and Eng to create and validate UX solutions for highly technical and complex engineering challenges
• Expand and evolve our "Dragonfruit" design system

We're looking for someone who has:

• 8+ years of relevant product design experience
• Shipped software in fast-paced, technical environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

• Experience in the autonomous vehicle industry
