About The Role
Software Engineering Manager

Applied Intuition, Inc. is powering the future of physical AI. Founded in 2017 and now valued at $15 billion, the Silicon Valley company is creating the digital infrastructure needed to bring intelligence to every moving machine on the planet. Applied Intuition services the automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture industries in three core areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy.

Applied Intuition is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Washington, D.C.; San Diego; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Ann Arbor, Michigan; London; Stuttgart; Munich; Stockholm; Bangalore; Seoul; and Tokyo.

We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time 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. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team in developing reliable, performant, and user-friendly software with a robust set of features. This position will help the team execute effectively through providing technical guidance, leading careful prioritization, and using best practices for complex software systems. You and your team will be technical owners of a critical revenue-generating product. This is the perfect position for an engineering manager who has a heavy focus on quality and real customer impact.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Manage and mentor a team of talented software engineers
  • Partner with a dedicated product manager to build a category-leading product within our Axion and/or VehicleSim product lines
  • Interview and recruit engineers for your team

We're looking for someone who has:

  • A Bachelor's degree in computer science, robotics, or related fields from a top institution
  • 2+ years of people management experience
  • Programming experience in one of the following: C++, Python, or Java
  • Ability to gain a US Government security clearance

Nice to have:

  • Experience working directly with end users
  • Experience building software for technical end users
  • Experience with performance oriented simulation software

Autonomy is one of the leading technological advances of this century that will come to impact our lives. The work you'll do at Applied will meaningfully accelerate the efforts of the top autonomy teams in the world. At Applied, you will have a unique perspective on the development of cutting edge technology while working with major players across the industry and the globe.
