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

Solution Engineers represent Applied's technology to Japan's OEMs and suppliers. They are the engineers at Applied who work most closely with customers.

To do this, you will have in-depth discussions about architecture and development process with customers' SDV and AD/ADAS teams, form your own view of how Vehicle OS should be used, propose it, and take responsibility for delivering it.
What this role requires is an understanding of the SDV and AD/ADAS system as a whole. You should be able to discuss a wide range of topics in your own words, including perception, planning, and control, middleware, E/E architecture, functional safety, and development process. This is what earns customers' trust.
Work with the engineering teams at Japan's major OEMs and suppliers on SDV and AD/ADAS architecture and development process, and lead the technical side of their move to software-driven development
