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. (Note: For EpiSci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)

 About The Role

We are looking for a passionate Research Engineer to join the Research Team at Applied Intuition. This team conducts world-class research for autonomous systems with applications to autonomous driving and general robotics. You will have access to millions of miles of large-scale data and industry-leading simulators and tools to develop cutting-edge models at scale.

Improvements deployed to our system immediately help our customers with their programs and deliver value to our business.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Conduct research on architecture design, robustness, safety, and language modality incorporation for our differentiable stack
  • Work closely with Research Scientists and interns on high-quality research publications to submit to top-tier conferences
  • Collaborate with our ADAS stack engineering team to test and deploy end-to-end algorithms for mass production vehicles
  • Collaborate with our simulation team to deploy data-driven generation algorithms for highly efficient and automated tools

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • Hands-on experience with end-to-end autonomy, vision-language-action model, reinforcement learning, multi-view perception and ML planner
  • A passion for scalable, data-driven autonomy for real-world systems
  • Strong research skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively on projects

Nice to have:

  • MSc or PhD in machine learning and computer vision with autonomy and robotics applications or closely related field
  • Experience with training with large-scale data and ML models and/or applying language modality in AV stacks
  • Passion for building and shipping customer-focused software frameworks or tools

Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.

Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.
