About Applied Intuition

Applied Intuition is building the toolchain for autonomy across air land sea space and spectrum. The Axion product family is a modular all-domain autonomy toolchain: simulation (Axion Sim) hardware/software integration (Axion Integrate) MLOps for ATR models (Axion MLOps) mission control UIs (Axion Mission Control) etc.

The Axion team is mission-critical: enabling development test integration and deployment of collaborative autonomous systems in contested environments. Youll be working at the intersection of high-fidelity simulation autonomy software hardware platforms and human-machine interfaces.

About the role

As an Engineering Manager on the Axion team you will lead a cross-functional engineering group (software simulation integration UI/UX) to deliver high-impact autonomy toolchain capabilities. You will drive engineering execution mentor and grow a team of engineers define technical roadmaps hold the bar on quality and collaborate closely with product operations hardware/integration teams and defense customers.

Your work will influence the architecture scalability performance and field-readiness of Axion products.

At Applied Intuition you will:

• Lead coach and grow a team of engineers (individual contributors leads) working on one or more Axion modules (e.g. simulation engine mission-control UI hardware integration pipeline)
• Define and own the technical roadmap for your area: translate product vision into deliverables ensure alignment with overall Axion strategy
• Drive software engineering best practices: architecture design code reviews CI/CD test automation performance/scalability quality metrics
• Manage project execution: planning sprints/releases monitoring progress identifying risks/blockers ensuring delivery of milestones on time and to quality
• Work with product management and UX/design to refine requirements make trade-offs and ensure that the engineering roadmap maps to user/customer value and field readiness
• Collaborate with hardware/integration and operations teams to ensure seamless delivery of autonomy toolchain across simulation hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) live platforms
• Ensure the team is set up for high-impact: recruiting top talent setting clear goals fostering a culture of ownership iteration and innovation
• Communicate status risk and outcomes to senior leadership; escalate as needed; provide engineering input for business decisions
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies: simulation autonomy AI real-time systems human-machine interfaces and help the team apply them

Were looking for someone who has:

• Proven experience (e.g. 3 5 years) in software engineering roles with increasing responsibility and at least 1 2 years in a leadership role (team lead manager) delivering complex systems
• Strong technical background: architecture design implementation and delivery of large-scale high-performance software systems (ideally simulation real-time autonomy robotics or hardware integration)
• Experience managing full software development lifecycle: requirements design implementation testing deployment maintenance
• Skilled in mentoring and growing engineers: recruiting performance management career development building high-performing teams
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills: able to work cross-functionally with product UX/design hardware/integration operations senior leadership
• Comfort in a fast-paced highly-ambiguous environment; ability to make thoughtful trade-offs between speed quality and scalability
• US citizenship. You must already have or be eligible to receive an active US Top Secret security clearance upon onboarding to this role

Nice to have:

• Experience in autonomy robotics simulation or unmanned systems (air/land/sea) and tool-chain development
• Familiarity with multi-domain systems (e.g. air/land/sea/spectrum) and heterogeneous fleets/platforms
• Familiarity with real-time systems sensor fusion hardware/software integration HIL/SIL testing cloud infrastructure large datasets
• Demonstrated ability to lead architecture/design of modular scalable software systems with high performance constraints
