Job description

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a product manager for Vehicle OS, the software layer around autonomous and software-defined vehicles. The role sits between customers, engineers, and internal product teams to define what the operating-system product needs to do in real deployments.

This is a technical product role for someone comfortable turning vehicle, autonomy, and customer requirements into roadmap choices. The work is less about a single app and more about the platform behavior that teams depend on to build, test, and operate autonomous systems.

What you would work on

• Define product requirements and roadmap priorities for Vehicle OS capabilities
• Work with customers and field teams to translate deployment needs into product decisions
• Partner with engineering to make tradeoffs across platform, autonomy, and vehicle workflows
• Track adoption, quality, and release readiness for customer-facing product areas
• Communicate product strategy across internal teams and external stakeholders

What they are asking for

• Product management experience with technical software, autonomy, automotive, or platform products
• Ability to work closely with engineering and customer teams on ambiguous requirements
• Strong judgment around roadmap scope, product quality, and release tradeoffs
• Comfort with in-person collaboration in Applied Intuition's Sunnyvale office

Why this one is worth a look

Vehicle operating systems are where autonomy, controls, fleet workflows, and customer constraints start to become one product surface. This role is interesting because Applied sells into several physical-AI markets, so the product choices have to generalize across more than one vehicle program or demo.
