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.
We're looking for a Hardware Systems Engineer with strong robotics and software expertise to own the system, hardware, and
electrical/electronics (EE) level requirements for a new Applied Intuition product of strategic importance. Working from
vehicle-level requirements, you'll decompose and allocate them into clear, testable system and hardware requirements, and you'll
define the EE systems for the test benches and rigs used to validate the product.
This is a requirements- and architecture-focused role - you will not perform hands-on hardware development (no schematic capture,
PCB layout, or board bring-up). Instead, you define what the hardware and test infrastructure must do, own the requirements and
architecture in a model-based environment, and establish the process, tooling, and traceability foundations - ASPICE, Polarion,
and Cameo - that the rest of the program builds on.
Requirements from vehicle-level requirements
