Lead the technical direction and architecture of the autonomy platform for large-scale autonomous mining operations. Own the low-level vehicle controls interface and the software platform for health monitoring, diagnostics, and telemetry.
Requires 7+ years of experience in embedded systems or robotics with a proven track record of technical leadership. Proficiency in C/C++ and hands-on experience with robotics actuation and production embedded platforms is essential.

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.
The Mining Products team at Applied Intuition is building the autonomy stack that powers large-scale autonomous mining operations. As Tech Lead for the Autonomy Platform, you will sit at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and software — owning the foundational platform that makes autonomous mining vehicles work reliably in the field. Your scope spans two critical areas: the autonomy interface (low-level vehicle controls, control interface design, and system identification) and the software platform (health monitoring, diagnostics, telemetry, networking, and deployment). You'll work closely with partner teams building middleware, sensor drivers, and deployment frameworks, and enable those capabilities for the mining application specifically. The work is a blend of 0→1 bring-up on new vehicle platforms and building long-term systems for production scale.
Lead technical direction and mentor engineers for the Autonomy Platform team, setting architecture and execution priorities
Work with autonomy product team to define roadmap across internal product milestones and customer requirements
Own the low-level vehicle controls interface — designing and implementing the autonomy-to-vehicle control layer, including drive-by-wire integration and system identification for new mining platforms
Build and maintain the software platform that keeps autonomous vehicles healthy in production: health monitoring, diagnostics, telemetry pipelines, networking, and OTA deployment
Drive 0→1 bringup of new mining vehicle platforms, from initial hardware bring-up through software integration and field validation
Partner with internal teams to integrate shared capabilities and adapt them for the specific requirements of mining environments
Define and uphold engineering standards for reliability, safety, and scalability as the fleet grows toward full production deployment
7+ years of experience in embedded systems, robotics, or autonomous vehicle software development
Proven experience leading a technical team or functioning as a tech lead on a complex systems project
Hands-on background in robotics actuation — CAN, drive-by-wire, or similar control interfaces
Experience building or owning software platform components: health monitoring, telemetry, diagnostics, or deployment systems for production embedded platforms
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded and real-time systems development
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Experience in mining, construction, or agriculture autonomy — familiarity with the operating environment and vehicle types (haul trucks, dozers, drills, etc.)
Background in controls, system identification (sysid), or vehicle dynamics modeling
Familiarity with OTA deployment and fleet management systems for embedded platforms
Prior work in a 0→1 environment — taking a new vehicle platform from initial bring-up to production readiness
Experience working with partner or external teams to integrate shared platform components into a product-specific application
