Job description

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a technical program manager for Dana, its agentic platform for physical AI. The role works across engineering, design, customer, and product teams to turn autonomy-tooling strategy into shipped platform programs.

The posting points especially at simulation, ML development loops, and the infrastructure that helps autonomy teams train, test, and deploy across domains such as vehicles, trucks, mining, and other physical systems.

What you would work on

• Coordinate roadmap execution for Applied's Dana physical AI platform
• Partner with simulation teams on autonomy-tooling strategy and delivery
• Drive cross-functional planning, risks, decisions, and launch readiness
• Connect product, design, engineering, and customer teams around deployment needs

What they are asking for

• Technical program management experience with complex software or platform products
• Ability to work across product, design, engineering, and customer-facing teams
• Comfort with autonomy, simulation, ML tooling, or adjacent technical domains
• Strong execution habits around planning, tradeoffs, risk, and decision-making

Why this one is worth a look

This is a program role close to the product center of Applied's physical AI push. The useful question is how to make agentic autonomy tooling reliable enough for teams building real machines, where simulation, data, and deployment all have to line up.
