Solution Engineer Vehicle OS

About Applied Intuition

We are an in-office company and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week.

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

We are looking for a bright engineer to help our customers solve complex technical problems across Applied Intuitions Vehicle OS this role you will work closely with vehicle software and tooling teams at OEMs and Tier 1s to ensure Applieds solutions deliver maximum impact in advancing customers Software-Defined-Vehicle (SDV) strategies and in-cabin user experiences.

Vehicle OS is Applied Intuitions software platform for SDV. It enables OEMs to modernize their E/E architecture through three interconnected areas:

• Middleware & architecture Service-oriented middleware-driven software stacks built on AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform SOME/IP and DDS. Helps OEMs migrate from distributed ECU architectures to zonal centralized compute.
• Developer toolchain A code-first toolchain that replaces GUI-bound configuration workflows. Engineers model vehicle behavior in Python manage changes through pull requests and validate in virtual ECU environments analogous to what cloud virtual engineering workbenches (e.g. AWS VEW) brought to cloud-native development but purpose-built for automotive E/E systems.
• IVI & in-vehicle infotainment Android Automotive OS (AAOS) based platform HMI/cluster software and intelligent in-cabin experiences including Cabin Intelligence (DMS OMS voice occupant interaction).

This role sits at the intersection of all three areas and the balance will depend on the customer mix.

At Applied Intuition you will:

• Act as the technical bridge between automotive customers and Applied Intuitions engineering and product teams
• Support OEMs in adopting Vehicle OS: middleware stack developer SDK and IVI/infotainment integration
• Lead technical discussions architecture reviews demos and early-stage deployments with OEM and Tier 1 engineering teams
• Help customers adopt Applieds code-first developer toolchain onboarding engineering teams onto the SDK setting up virtual ECU environments and integrating with customers existing CI/CD pipelines
• Guide OEMs through the design and implementation of service-oriented vehicle architectures and support system integration across ECUs domain controllers and high-performance compute
• Work with customers IVI and infotainment teams on AAOS integration Linux-based IVI stack deployment HMI/cluster software and Cabin Intelligence features (driver monitoring occupant monitoring voice/AI interaction)
• Collaborate with customers and internal product teams to triage and resolve technical issues
• Manage project milestones and communicate progress across multiple customer and internal stakeholders

Were looking for someone who has:

• 3 years of experience working with automotive OEMs or suppliers ideally in SDV E/E architecture developer tooling or in-vehicle infotainment/IVI
• Experience with AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive) and automotive developer tooling
• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols: SOME/IP DDS CAN LIN or automotive Ethernet
• Experience with at least one of the following:

• • Vehicle software developer toolchain: SDK-based development virtual ECUs SIL environments or CI/CD pipelines for automotive software
  • IVI / infotainment platforms: Android Automotive OS (AAOS) Linux-based IVI HMI/cluster software or display middleware

• Execution-driven mindset with strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple customer engagements in parallel
• Experience working directly with customers on complex problems at the intersection of software and vehicle systems
• Degree in computer science electrical engineering or related field
• Basic / intermediate programming experience in C/C Python or similar
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; German and/or additional European language is a significant plus

Nice to have:

• Hands-on experience with Applied Intuitions Vehicle OS or a comparable SDV platform
• Knowledge of zonal E/E architectures HPC platforms or software-defined networking in vehicles
• Experience with OTA systems and vehicle software lifecycle management
• Familiarity with ISO 26262 functional safety or SOTIF in the context of IVI or ADAS systems
• Experience with Cabin Intelligence technologies: driver monitoring (DMS) occupant monitoring (OMS) or in-cabin perception and AI
• Exposure to perception systems or AI/ML pipelines applied to in-vehicle experiences
• Experience with simulation environments or digital twin platforms to validate vehicle software
• Project management experience in cross-functional customer-facing programs
