We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time 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. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions
About the Role
We are seeking Field Integration Engineers who excel at connecting software engineering, customer interaction, and hands-on field operations. In this position, you will drive the full-stack integration and deployment of our software solutions across customer hardware, physical vehicles, and test benches.
Serving as the key technical expert on-site, mainly in the great Chicago area, you will ensure our software operates seamlessly on customer vehicles. You will bring up target hardware, SIL, and HIL setups; troubleshoot integration challenges spanning software, firmware, and vehicle networks; and partner directly with customer systems and software engineering teams to deliver production-ready autonomous and intelligent vehicle technology.
Travel Expectation: This position requires significant travel (30%–50%+) to customer facilities, proving grounds, test tracks, and active field deployment sites.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
-
Deploy, configure, and integrate vehicle software stack, middleware, and application-level code on customer target hardware, HIL simulators, and vehicle platforms.
-
Serve as the primary technical escalation point on-site. Collect logs/telemetry, bisect software pipelines, debug system crashes, and isolate root causes across software-hardware boundaries.
