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.
About the Role
As a Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer at Applied Intuition, you will serve as the primary technical link between hardware design, GNC, and software teams to deliver integrated, flight-ready systems. You will lead the critical hardware-software bring-up process, driving initial validation of flight systems from the bench to the airfield while defining seamless communication interfaces across flight controllers and ground stations. In this role, you will architect repeatable verification workflows and high-fidelity simulation environments, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), to enable rapid iteration and reduce development cycle times. By setting standards for hardware abstraction and building custom real-time monitoring tools, you will ensure the delivery of robust, scalable, and maintainable flight software for next-generation autonomous machines
