Applied Intuition is a $15B Silicon Valley company (founded 2017) powering physical AI for autonomous and intelligent vehicles across automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining, and agriculture. The company serves 18 of the top 20 global automakers and the U.S. military, with offices globally including Sunnyvale HQ, Washington D.C., San Diego, London, Stuttgart, Munich, Stockholm, Bangalore, Seoul, and Tokyo.
As a Field Integration Engineer, you will be the key technical expert driving full-stack integration and deployment of Applied Intuition's software solutions on customer hardware, vehicles, and test benches. Based primarily in the Chicago area, you will ensure software operates seamlessly across customer platforms. Your responsibilities include:
• Deploy, configure, and integrate vehicle software stacks, middleware, and application-level code on target hardware, HIL simulators, and vehicle platforms
• Serve as the primary on-site technical escalation point for customers
• Collect logs and telemetry; debug system crashes and isolate root causes across software-hardware boundaries
• Debug and validate communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, J1939) and verify end-to-end data flow between sensors, ECUs, and application software
• Partner with internal core software and firmware engineering teams to reproduce field issues, validate fixes, and drive continuous system improvements
• Write Python scripts, Bash automation, and internal tooling to streamline deployment, diagnostics, and log collection in field environments
• Work directly with customer engineering leadership to define integration use-cases, articulate system constraints, and establish integration milestones
This role requires significant travel (30–50%+) to customer facilities, proving grounds, test tracks, and active field deployment sites, both domestic and international. Applied Intuition operates as an in-office company with an expectation that full-time employees work from their office 5 days per week, with flexibility for occasional remote work and schedule adjustments.
REQUIREMENTS:
• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or related technical field
• Strong programming skills in C++ and/or embedded C, with solid software engineering practices in Linux development and command-line environments
• 2+ years of hands-on experience integrating, testing, and debugging software applications on physical target platforms or embedded hardware
• Practical understanding of automotive or industrial network topologies, protocol analysis (CAN, Ethernet, J1939), and diagnostic standards (UDS, DoIP, OBD-II)
• Strong analytical skills to systematically isolate faults across multi-component software pipelines and hardware interfaces
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with confidence to represent the engineering team in fast-paced, high-stakes customer environments
• Ability and willingness to travel 30–50%+ to domestic and international customer locations and testing sites
NICE TO HAVE:
• Experience with vehicle platforms, autonomous systems, robotics, or active industrial/field environments
• Familiarity with AUTOSAR platform concepts (RTE, SWCs, ARXML), SIL/HIL test rigs, or ROS/ROS2 architecture
• Experience using network analysis tools (Vector CANoe/CANape, Wireshark, PEAK-System) or hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters)
• Scripting capability in Python for data processing, log parsing, or test automation
