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.

About the role

Mission Control is a tailored collection of UIs for our customers to interact with our autonomy in Defense. We and our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi-agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.

The full-stack software engineer role for Mission Control will connect the frontend UI to the backend, whether that be a live vehicle, a hardware-focused bench test, or a purely synthetic simulation. This role will touch services, database management, and computer networking.

This role is a “startup within a startup” moving with day-long iteration cycles, and supplying much-needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry.

Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive command and control platform. This will include:

Frontend UI/UX (including 2D/3D rendering and selection tools) for Defense applications including mission planning/debrief, command and control, and simulation tools
Integration with real boats, planes, and ground vehicles
Design and implementation of data-oriented services, databases, and architectures to support user interaction with live and simulated data
Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures
Much more!

At Applied Intuition, you will:

Design and implement a data-oriented frontend UI/UX platform and its supporting framework of services and databases
Build hardware-in-the-loop setups, integrating them with the Mission Control application
Work with other teams to integrate your frontend implementation with a state-of-the-art in-house simulator, data-transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications
Work closely with users to quickly support new features / use cases
