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

About the role

(We are hiring for all levels of experience.)

We are looking for bright QA engineers interested in ensuring the success of cutting-edge solutions to difficult problems in the autonomy space. Our QA engineers work across our suite of products, tackling difficult full-stack problems as the last line of defense. At Applied, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture. You will be joining a small, dynamic team. We are looking for generalists and problem solvers, not people who expect the same work day to day.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Create test scripts to automate the testing process and streamline overall design and performance verification testing

• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and engineering managers to build detailed test programs for our products that push the frontier of AV software development

• Conduct and analyze test results and be responsible for critical performance of feature releases and updates

• Triage autonomy results, identify issues across autonomy software and vehicle hardware, and drive fixes across the team

• Own the sign-off of test results, analysis, and reports for ongoing improvements of testing requirements

We're looking for someone who has:

• B.S. in Computer Science, Software, Electrical, Physics, Mathematics, or similar engineering field

• General knowledge on software testing

• Good communication and organizational skills and the ability to be proactive

• High level of professionalism to nurture an ego-free culture

Nice to have:

• Prior experience with either AV simulation or vehicle simulation

• Hands-on experience testing, troubleshooting, or debugging complex software systems

Not a perfect fit? Apply anyways! We're looking for strong problem solvers who have an intuition for quality and testing -- not necessarily an exact background.
