About The Role

Mission Control Engineer

The Mission Control team at Applied Intuition builds a tailored suite of UIs that enable our defense customers to interact with our autonomy stack, also known as a C2 (Command and Control). Our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi-agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.

This role is a 'startup within a startup' moving with day-long iteration cycles, and supplying much-needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry. Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive frontend platform. This will include:

• Frontend UI/UX (including 2D/3D rendering and selection tools) for Defense applications including mission planning/debrief, command and control, and simulation tools
• Data-oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data
• Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Design and implement a data-oriented frontend UI/UX platform, including 2D/3D graphics & visualizations of live agents in the world.
• Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows, developing a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX
• Work with other teams to integrate your frontend implementation with a state-of-the-art in-house simulator, data-transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience with full-stack web development
• Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems
• A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces
• A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team
• U.S. citizenship (legally required) and eligibility to obtain a security clearance

Nice to have:

• Aptitude with spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering (WebGL, Cesium, GIS, etc)
• Experience with React, Typescript or Angular technologies
• Experience with real-time command and control interfaces for robotic systems
