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
We are looking for simulation engineers interested in designing elegant solutions to difficult problems in the autonomy and mobility space. Simulation Application Engineers work with external and internal users to develop VehicleSim and ADP based applications and models. Our engineers source valuable feedback from users to effectively drive and influence product direction. At Applied Intuition, we encourage engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.
At Applied, you will:
- Develop new applications that can be used and then modified by automotive customers to improve their simulations
- Collaborate closely with our automotive customers to provide technical support and collect data for new feature development
- Create thorough documentation for new and existing software applications
- Test and provide feedback for new versions of our software
- Work closely with cross functional team to develop and conduct customer training remotely and onsite
We're looking for someone who has:
- MS in Mechanical Engineering or a BS with relevant industry experience
- 5+ years of hands on experience in the automotive industry
- Experience using simulation software such as CarSim, Simulink, CarMaker, Adams, or similar tools
- Evaluated vehicle dynamics behavior at the system level such as response to driver controls
- Experience evaluating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems at the system level
- Familiarity using AI tooling to accelerate development safely
Nice to have:
- Familiarity or experience using our products (CarSim, BikeSim, TruckSim, and SuspensionSim)
- Experience creating new projects (steering, braking, or other AV/ADAS enabling controllers) using our products and MATLAB/Simulink.
- Ability to program as needed to support automation and integration of multiple software tools
- Worked with automotive driving simulators and real-time simulation systems such as DSPACE, Concurrent, NI, and VI-Grade.
- Experience with Unreal Game Engine
