Job description

Meet our engineers on the Vehicle OS team!

Vehicle OS is a flexible suite of products that help vehicle manufacturers develop, deploy, and update complete vehicle software and AI applications. This is one of the fastest growing projects here at Applied, and we are seeking exceptional talent to drive execution. 

About the role

We are looking for senior software engineers with expertise in developing embedded software applications on production computers to build the next-generation vehicle platform! It is a unique opportunity to work on challenging engineering problems while being part of a fast-moving team.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Architect and develop highly reliable embedded software

  • Integrate vendor components into a common software framework, ensuring proper low-level communication (e.g., CAN, LIN, I2C, SPI, UART etc.)

  • Implement real-time operating system (RTOS) applications as required for the product

  • Drive custom in-vehicle infotainment device solutions

  • Implement best practices in embedded AOSP development, HAL customization, and Android middleware, including maintenance and security

  • Develop and customize Linux-based Android services, embedded services, and Android applications for compatibility across various Android versions and devices

  • Work with cross-functional teams to bring up custom software on new devices, productionize it, and manage the process for maintaining company products

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 3+ years of experience working on embedded devices

  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field

  • Strong background in embedded software development using C/C++ and assembly languages

  • Hands-on experience with Android Board Support Package (BSP), Android middleware, HAL customization and maintenance

  • Advanced software debugging skills, with a strong focus on low-level hardware debugging to ensure full system operation, and debugging Android Native Crashes, system crashes, and Android middleware (Drivers, HAL, Libraries, Framework)

  • Experience developing software for complex embedded systems and custom SoCs, with expertise in peripheral interfaces like UART, SPI, CSI-2, I2C, GPIO, USB, and PCIe

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience in developing on-vehicle technology

  • Ability to work with safety-critical robotic systems with real-time constraints

  • Proficiency in embedded systems testing, with experience enhancing automated test frameworks

  • Experience in creating Android device builds to support Android system development, RTOS and middleware applications, and strong knowledge of writing, modifying, and maintaining Linux services under SELinux

  • Proven ability to design, integrate, and deliver code into production environments within aggressive timelines

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.
