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 looking for a bright engineer to help our customers solve complex technical problems across Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS portfolio. In this role you will work closely with vehicle software and tooling teams at OEMs and Tier 1s to ensure Applied’s solutions deliver maximum impact in advancing customers’ Software-Defined-Vehicle (SDV) strategies and in-cabin user experiences. Vehicle OS is Applied Intuition’s software platform for SDV. It enables OEMs to modernize their E/E architecture through three interconnected areas: • Middleware & architecture Service-oriented, middleware-driven software stacks built on AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform, SOME/IP, and DDS. Helps OEMs migrate from distributed ECU architectures to zonal, centralized compute. • Developer toolchain A code-first toolchain that replaces GUI-bound configuration workflows. Engineers model vehicle behavior in Python, manage changes through pull requests, and validate in virtual ECU environments analogous to what cloud virtual engineering workbenches (e.g., AWS VEW) brought to cloud-native development, but purpose-built for automotive E/E systems. • IVI & in-vehicle infotainment Android Automotive OS (AAOS) based platform, HMI/cluster software, and intelligent in-cabin experiences including Cabin Intelligence (DMS, OMS, voice, occupant interaction). This role sits at the intersection of all three areas, and the balance will depend on the customer mix. At Applied Intuition, you will: • Act as the technical bridge between automotive customers and Applied Intuition’s engineering and product teams • Support OEMs in adopting Vehicle OS: middleware stack, developer SDK, and IVI/infotainment integration • Lead technical discussions, architecture reviews, demos, and early-stage deployments with OEM and Tier 1 engineering teams • Help customers adopt Applied’s code-first developer toolchain, onboarding engineering teams onto the SDK, setting up virtual ECU environments, and integrating with customers’ existing CI/CD pipelines • Guide OEMs through the design and implementation of service-oriented vehicle architectures and support system integration across ECUs, domain controllers and high-performance compute • Work with customers’ IVI and infotainment teams on AAOS integration, Linux-based IVI stack deployment, HMI/cluster software, and Cabin Intelligence features (driver monitoring, occupant monitoring, voice/AI interacti
