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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Data and Test Flywheel Engineer will be a key member of Applied Intuition’s
data flywheel initiative — building the systems that connect vehicle data
collection, training, and automated model improvement. You’ll create the
infrastructure that allows our autonomous driving stack to continuously learn
from real-world and simulation data, accelerating development across teams
working on perception, planning, and control.
This role sits at the intersection of large-scale data engineering and machine
learning infrastructure. You’ll work closely with ML engineers and system
developers to automate data selection, curation, and model iteration so our
vehicles can self-improve with minimal human intervention.
AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL:
* Build and maintain large-scale data processing pipelines (ETL) for ingesting
and curating driving datasets.
* Design and implement systems that automate data selection, labeling,
training, and testing loops.
* Collaborate with modeling teams to improve training efficiency and model
performance across iterations.
* Develop the core infrastructure that closes the loop between real-world test
results and new model deployments.
* Use your engineering expertise to help Applied Intuition’s vehicles learn
from data at scale, improving safety and performance.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to defining best practices for
data-centric development.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS:
* Bachelor's or higher degree in Engineering such as Computer Science,
Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering
3–5 years of experience in software or data infrastructure engineering.
Expertise in building and scaling data pipelines, distributed systems, or ML
infrastructure.
* Proficiency in Python and strong knowledge of data frameworks (Spark,
Airflow, Kafka, etc.).
* Experience working with large-scale datasets and understanding data-driven
development cycles.
* Familiarity with machine learning workflows or model training/deployment,
especially automation of those processes.
* Strong systems thinking and ability to work across multiple parts of the
stack (data, infra, and ML).
* Interest in seeing the direct impact of your infrastructure work on how
vehicles perform and improve.
NICE TO HAVE:
Experience with automotive (AV) or robotics systems.
Previous work on ML platforms for large-scale products (e.g., Ads,
Recommendation, or Autonomy pipelines).
Experience with highly automated ML training workflows.
Prior contributions to systems that connect data-driven model iteration loops
(“data flywheel”).
* Ability to move fast, learn quickly, and mentor others while growing with the
team.
