We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that 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.

Mission Control is a tailored collection of UIs for our customers to interact with our autonomy in Defense. We and our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi‑agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.

This role is a “startup within a startup” moving with day‑long iteration cycles, and supplying much‑needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry.

Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive frontend platform. This will include:

• Frontend UI/UX (including 2D/3D rendering and selection tools) for Defense applications including mission planning/debrief, command and control, and simulation tools
• Data‑oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data
• Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures
• Much more!

• Design and implement a data‑oriented frontend UI/UX platform
• Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows, developing a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX
• Work with other teams to integrate your frontend implementation with a state‑of‑the‑art in‑house simulator, data‑transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications

• Experience with full‑stack web development
• Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems
• A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces
• A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team
• U.S. citizenship (legally required) and eligibility to obtain a security clearance

• Aptitude with spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering
• Experience with React, Typescript or Angular technologies
• Experience with real‑time command and control interfaces for robotic systems
