Applied Intuition is a $15B-valued AI infrastructure company (founded 2017) powering autonomous vehicles and equipment across automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining, and agriculture. The company serves 18 of the top 20 global automakers and the US military.
You will own the end-to-end integration of autonomous haul trucks and heavy equipment platforms in the mining industry. This is a hands-on role spanning hardware and software integration, from initial vehicle setup through customer deployment on live mine and quarry sites.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead vehicle bring-up and commissioning for autonomous haul trucks and heavy equipment, including drive-by-wire and sensor installation, calibration, validation, and customer sign-off
- Debug across the hardware/software boundary, working with CAN/J1939, Ethernet, time synchronization, and sensor drivers
- Build tooling, diagnostics, and integration processes to accelerate vehicle deployment and reliability
- Plan and execute brake, steering, and system-level test campaigns supporting functional safety and regulatory compliance
- Collaborate directly with OEMs, hardware vendors, and customer engineering teams, including on-site work at active mining and quarry locations
You will work in Sunnyvale with a primarily in-office expectation (5 days/week), though the company supports occasional flexibility for remote work and schedule adjustments.
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 2+ years in vehicle, robotics, or embedded systems integration
- Experience integrating and bringing up robotic, autonomous, or embedded vehicle systems
- Strong systems debugging skills across electrical, networking, and software layers
- Working knowledge of vehicle networks (CAN/J1939) and Ethernet-based sensor and compute architectures
- Proficiency in Linux and Python, with ability to read and modify C++
- Willingness to travel and work onsite at industrial locations for short periods
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with autonomy in the industrials domain
- Familiarity with steer-by-wire or brake-by-wire systems and related standards (ISO 3450, ISO 5010)
- Experience with embedded compute platforms
- Exposure to functional safety processes for autonomous or mining equipment
- Experience with ROS or similar robotics middleware
