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 in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

About the Role

The Mission Control team at Applied Intuition builds a tailored suite of UIs that enable our defense customers to interact with our autonomy stack, also known as a C2 (Command and Control). 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.

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 frontend 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

  • Data-oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data

  • Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Design and implement a data-oriented frontend UI/UX platform, including 2D/3D graphics & visualizations of live agents in the world.

  • Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows, developing a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX

  • 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

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 2 + years of industry experience

  • BS in Computer Science, or equivalent field of study

  • Experience with full-stack web development

  • Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems

  • A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces

  • A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team

  • U.S. citizenship (legally required) and eligibility to obtain a security clearance

Nice to have:

  • Aptitude with spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering (WebGL, Cesium, GIS, etc)

  • Experience with React, Typescript or Angular technologies

  • Experience with real-time command and control interfaces for robotic systems

Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.

Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.
