Job summary

Applied Intuition, Inc. seeks an experienced engineer to own the onboard live-map estimator end to end, fusing HD map priors with live perception into a real-time world estimate for the autonomous stack.

You will define map trust contracts, build evaluation pipelines, and ship modern C++ code for embedded compute, ensuring robust performance and cross-team collaboration in a cutting-edge environment.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5+ years building production software with at least one shipped system owning the estimation core.
• State estimation fundamentals with factor graphs and/or filtering.
• Experience fusing map data, perception output, and sensors into a single estimate.
• Strong modern C++ and real-time performance on embedded compute.
• Rigorous evaluation pipelines to hold a shipped operating point and prevent regressions.
• System interfaces and contract negotiation with consumer teams.

Responsibilities

• Own the onboard live-map estimator end to end.
• Build onboard map change detection and trust semantics.
• Define map trust contracts for planners.
• Build evaluation backbone, metrics pipelines, and regression tests.
• Ship estimation code in modern C++ for real-time embedded.
• Extend the loop offboard to aggregate divergences across logs.
