We are an in‑office company Employees primarily work from the Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. The company recognizes flexibility and trusts employees to manage schedules responsibly. Remote work may include occasional remote days, morning meetings from home, or early departures for family commitments.
About the role and team We are looking for a passionate Research Engineer to join the Research Group at Applied Intuition. The mission of the group is to create cutting‑edge technology enabling next‑generation physical AI, with emphasis on the two most challenging applications reshaping everyday life: end‑to‑end autonomous driving and robotic generalist. The group includes leading experts from top institutions and companies, recognized for their exceptional academic and industry contributions—including eight Best Paper awards at premier conferences and journals such as CVPR and ICRA.
Supported by industry‑leading tools and infrastructure, researchers can access millions of miles of data from large fleets, and deploy methods they develop into various autonomous and robotic systems including self‑driving cars/trucks, autonomous mining/construction machines, humanoid robots, and dexterous hands. In addition to research contributions, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the autonomy and robotics industries within a fast‑paced, customer‑focused culture. Improvements deployed to the system immediately help customers with their programs and deliver value to the business.
We are open to all years of experience, including those with potential Tech Lead and Manager capacity.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
Support the team for robotic and data collection hardware setup, and design the mechatronic system for customized demands.
Construct robotic simulation environments at scale and use them for RL training.
Process human data for robotic use cases.
Work closely with Research Scientists and interns on high‑quality research publications to submit to top‑tier conferences.
Collaborate with engineering teams on ADAS, data, and simulation to deploy end‑to‑end algorithms for mass‑production vehicles, and neural simulation/generation for tools supporting autonomy development.
We’re looking for someone who has:
Hands‑on experience in at least one of the following fields:
Humanoid, general robotics and human data collection hardware experiences (both utilization and design).
Large‑scale robotic simulation construction, deformable object simulation, and its utilization in RL training.
Human data processing, retargeting, pose estimation, SLAM.
Passion for next‑generation, scalable autonomy and robotics for real‑world systems.
Strong engineering and research skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively on projects.
Technical experience in Python, Pytorch, computer vision, robotics systems, and distributed machine learning model training.
Nice to have:
Industry experience on relevant topics (self‑driving application preferred).
MSc or PhD in machine learning and computer vision with autonomy and robotics applications or closely related field.
Passion for building and shipping customer‑focused software frameworks or tools.
