About The Position

Applied Intuition, Inc. is seeking Mechatronics Integration Engineers who are curious, hands-on, and excited to deliver impactful features at the intersection of software, hardware, and real-world customer environments. In this role, you will work across software and hardware systems to ensure seamless full-system integration for customer delivery, both in the lab and in the field. You will own the end-to-end product development process of Applied's autonomy and drive-by-wire system and lead integrations from initial setup through steady-state operations. This includes building a deep understanding of mining vehicle system architecture and software-hardware interactions, designing and evaluating sensors, actuators, and communication technologies, leading embedded application development and integration, and acting as the primary technical expertise for firmware/mechatronics systems. You will also partner with customer operations teams to establish operating procedures, training, and go/no-go criteria.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in software integration or development
• BS or MS in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
• Strong understanding of electromechanical systems, including assembly, setup, and debugging
• Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals and software/firmware engineering, especially for real-time embedded control applications (C programming, FreeRTOS, microcontroller)
• Strong communication skills and comfort acting as the primary customer-facing engineer on-site
• Experience with system debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters
• Ability to work independently, own outcomes, and make sound technical decisions in the field
• Willingness to travel to customer sites, including internationally
• Comfortable working in active industrial or field environments

Nice To Haves

• Background in autonomous vehicle development domains
• Experience working with CAN (J1939), ethernet, and other automotive communication protocols
• Experience in full life cycle of embedded application development (C/C++)
• Experience with harness and circuit design (e.g., schematic drawing, board layout) as well as manufacturing
• Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks/CATIA) and rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing)
• Familiarity with Linux development and bash scripting
• Foundational knowledge of automotive systems, including schematic reading, power and communication network topology, powertrain behavior, and system architecture
• MSHA certified to operate on mine sites

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product development process of Applied's autonomy and drive-by-wire system and lead integrations from initial setup through steady-state operations
• Build a deep understanding of mining vehicle system architecture and software-hardware interactions, including reverse-engineering third-party systems
• Design and evaluate sensors, actuators, and communication technologies into existing vehicle systems
• Lead the embedded application development and integration of the electromechanical systems into mining vehicle platforms
• Act as the primary technical expertise for firmware/mechatronics systems: triage issues, collect logs/telemetry, reproduce problems, and coordinate fixes with the Hardware/Firmware development team while keeping customers unblocked
• Partner with customer operations teams to establish operating procedures, training, and go/no-go criteria
