Software Integration Engineer - Defense
Applied Intuition, Ann Arbor
The role
We're looking for a Systems Integration Engineer to own the hardware and software decisions that make a vehicle build actually work — from compute and sensor architecture down to harness routing, sensor tuning, and drive-by-wire (DBW) integration. You'll work hands-on across hardware, embedded, and autonomy software to take a vehicle from architecture to a working, demo-ready system.
This is a hands-on systems/hardware engineering role: you'll make and defend real technical tradeoffs (sensor and compute architecture, harness design, DBW tuning approach), and travel onsite — including internationally and for extended stretches — to lead builds and installs in person.
What you need
Required
- 2+ years of experience in systems/integration engineering, ideally on automotive, robotics, defense, or autonomy programs.
