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 a bright engineer to help our customers solve complex technical problems across Applied Intuition's full product portfolio: Vehicle OS (including developer tooling and IVI), Tools for Vehicle Intelligence (ADP/APX), and Self-Driving Systems (SDS). This role is ideal for a candidate with strong automotive software foundations who thrives on variety, is energized by learning new technical domains quickly, and wants to engage with the broadest possible range of cutting-edge automotive challenges.
One engagement might involve guiding an OEM's IVI team through an Android Automotive OS integration; the next could be a deep-dive architecture review with an ADAS validation team, or a technical workshop on autonomy stack deployment with a Tier 1 supplier. This kind of breadth is rare, and for the right person, it is the most accelerated learning environment in the automotive software industry. You will build expertise across SDV, simulation, and autonomy faster than any siloed role would allow, while working directly with some of the most ambitious internal and external engineering teams worldwide.
Support pre-sales and post-sales customer engagements across Vehicle OS, SDS and Tooling pillars as needed
Conduct technical discovery, demos, and proof-of-concept work across Applied Intuition’s product suite
Adapt technical depth to whichever product pillar is most relevant for a given customer or opportunity
Build cross-pillar proposals where a customer engagement spans multiple product areas
Work closely with Applied Intuition’s product and solution specialists to ramp up on new product areas
Manage multiple concurrent customer engagements and maintain clear internal stakeholder communication
4+ years of experience in automotive software development or technical customer engagement, spanning more than one product domain (e.g., ADAS + SDV, simulation + vehicle architecture, IVI + middleware)
Strong automotive software foundations with the ability to engage credibly on topics across E/E architecture, ADAS validation, and/or autonomy systems
Demonstrated ability to learn new technical domains quickly and apply them in a customer-facing context
Track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder technical programs
Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field
Programming experience in Python and/or C++
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; German and/or additional European language is a significant plus
Experience spanning both pillars: Vehicle OS/SDV/IVI and ADAS simulation/tooling
Prior Solution Engineering, Field Application Engineering, or technical pre-sales experience
Experience at an OEM, Tier 1, and/or automotive technology company
Familiarity with AUTOSAR (Classic and/or Adaptive)
Knowledge of ISO 26262, SOTIF, or ASPICE
30 days of paid vacation per year
Daily meal benefits: €19 lunch budget and €19 dinner budget, free breakfast, snacks, and drinks in the office
You’ll receive €965 annual learning & development and €580 annual fitness budget
Subsidized Wellpass membership, giving you access to thousands of gyms, studios, and wellness facilities across Germany
€25 monthly contribution to your Deutschlandticket for regional public transport across Germany
Generous parental leave: on top of statutory parental leave
