Integration with new vehicles and hardware is a critical function. This position requires both field and office-based work, with significant time spent deploying and testing software on autonomous vehicles in real-world environments. At Applied Intuition, you will: * Systems Engineering: Develop, deploy, and validate software systems on autonomous vehicles, focusing on robotics, sensors, and vehicle autopilots * Field Deployment & Testing: Participate in hands-on fieldwork, deploying software on vehicles and ensuring proper functionality in dynamic, real-world environments * Interfacing with Sensors and Autopilots: Work directly with sensors (e.g., RADAR, cameras, GPS, SONAR) and vehicle autopilot systems, integrating them into the autonomous vehicle framework * Perception & Autonomous Modules: Work with the Perception and Autonomy teams to deploy and optimize perception pipelines (Vision, Radar, Fusion) and vehicle autonomy SW, ensuring robust and safe vehicle operation * Communication Systems: Address inter-vehicle communication, ensuring seamless data exchange between vehicles for collaborative autonomous operations * Third-Party Software Integration: Interface with and integrate third-party software and APIs into our systems * Software Quality & CI/CD: Work on software integration, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, and implement system-related improvements to enhance system performance and reliability * Simulation & Testing: Leverage simulation environments to test vehicle systems, validating software behavior in various scenarios before field deployment * Collaboration & Documentation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, data scientists, and field operators, to ensure the successful deployment of systems. Document processes and provide updates on system status and improvements Travel Requirements: * Must be willing to travel as projects requires; average travel varies, but can be up to once a month for up to 1 week (~25%) Security Requirements: * Must be a U.S. Citizen * Must hold or be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [The Road to MLOps: How Verivox Transitioned to AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1050-the-road-to-mlops-how-verivox-transitioned-to-aws) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
