We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time 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. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

We are looking for highly ambitious engineers with a passion for driving customer success at the highest levels. This is not a typical engineering role; it's a unique opportunity to operate at the intersection of groundbreaking technology and critical customer impact in the mining industry.

Align workstream leads across Engineering, Finance, Quality, Product Support, Procurement, and Legal on the goals for each gateway, and hold them accountable to execute.
Cultivate executive-level connections with site operators, becoming a trusted advisor through production and beyond
Identify the signal in the noise. Ensure the right work is done, at the right time, to the highest standard of quality — every gateway, every release
We're looking for someone who has:
Bachelors degree in relevant field, or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
5+ years leading complex, cross-functional technical programs in automotive, industrial, or robotics domains
Prior experience running or building a formal NPI / gated development process
