Note:

For Epi Sci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)

We are looking for a software engineer with expertise in perception for autonomous vehicles or mobile robots. Your contributions will focus on building out key capabilities of perception modules within an autonomous vehicle stack. You will also drive the design and development of computer vision and machine learning techniques to enable self-driving vehicles to navigate.

In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry. We move fast and focus on excellence, for our products and for our business. If you are hands‑on and looking for a place to have a multiplying effect on making autonomous systems a reality, Applied Intuition is the place for you!

We are hiring for all levels.
