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. (Note: For EpiSci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)

About The Role

We are looking for a senior engineer with expertise in simulation of electromagnetic and radar systems. This role will focus on the development and validation of radar models in our simulated environments across automotive and aerial domains (including synthetic aperture radar). At Applied Intuition, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Design and implement core components of our simulation engine pertaining to radar & RF sensors, electromagnetic and signal processing models
• Drive efforts to validate underlying sensor models across operational design domains
• Work with the top sensor and autonomy companies in automotive, defense, and robotics industries to understand and solve unique challenges in simulation-based perception development
  
  

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience with modeling the signal processing and system level components of radar systems
• Experience with radar system design for automotive and non-automotive applications (automotive radars, synthetic aperture radar, point-to-point RF)
• Experience working in a simulation environment utilizing geometric and physical optics principles
• Experience working in Python and C++
• 4+ years of industry experience
  
  

Nice to have:

• Experience with radar systems across diverse design domains (on-road, off-road, aerial)
• Hands-on experience with characterization and validation of radar systems in lab and field environments
• Comfortable with performing data analysis of raw sensor data
• Experience with working with GPU accelerated processing
• Experience with modern computer graphics pipelines and engines
