About the role

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Own product strategy for DroneStack. Define the roadmap that transitions the team from program-driven deliveries to a scalable, multi-customer product line. Make hard prioritization calls across ISR, strike, hardware, and tooling.
• Become the voice of the operator. Conduct primary user research — in the field, at bases, and with international partners — to deeply understand how operators plan, execute, and debrief autonomous missions. Travel up to 20% of the time, including internationally.
• Drive the programs-to-products transition. Identify the patterns across current customer engagements and define the abstractions, configurations, and interfaces that turn one-off solutions into repeatable products.
• Shape product design and experience. Work with engineering to design operator interfaces (mission control, mission planning, mission review) that are intuitive enough for non-technical users to operate without engineering support in the field.
• Set the technical direction with engineering. Partner with the engineering manager and technical leads to balance near-term delivery commitments with long-term product architecture. You don't need to write the code, but you need to understand the system well enough to make informed tradeoffs.
• Build and communicate a market thesis. Develop a point of view on where the autonomous drone market is heading — across DoD service branches, allied nations, and commercial applications — and position Applied Intuition to capture it.
• Represent the product internally and externally. Be the connective tissue between DroneStack engineering, Applied Intuition's defense business development team, and customers. Present at demos, program reviews, and industry events.

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5–7 years of product management experience across at least two meaningfully different environments (different industries, product types, company stages, or customer segments). We value breadth and adaptability over narrow specialization.
• A track record of shipping products, not just features. You've owned a product end-to-end — from research and strategy through design, build, launch, and iteration. You've made the hard calls about what not to build.
• Exceptional research instincts. You know how to learn a market from scratch: talking to users, studying workflows, reading doctrine, attending field exercises, and synthesizing what you find into actionable product direction. You've done this at least once in a domain that was new to you.
• Comfort with deep technical systems. You don't need a background in autonomy, robotics, or aerospace — but you should have experience working on technically complex products (hardware + software, real-time systems, developer tools, infrastructure, etc.) and be energized by learning how things work at a systems level.
• Strong design sensibility. You care about how products feel to use, not just what they do. You've collaborated closely with designers or driven UX decisions yourself, particularly for workflow-heavy or operations-focused tools.
• Clear, structured communication. You can write a crisp product brief, present a strategy to senior leadership, and run a productive design review with engineers. You tailor your communication to the audience — whether that's a general officer or a software engineer.
• BS/BA degree in a technical or analytical field (Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Economics, or similar). Advanced degrees are welcome but not required.

Nice to have:

• Experience with defense or government customers, even outside of autonomy (understanding of acquisition cycles, program structures, or operational environments)
• Experience working on products that span hardware and software
• Prior work at an early-stage or high-growth company where you wore multiple hats
• Exposure to international markets or customers
• Experience founding a company or leading a 0-to-1 product initiative

About the role

We're hiring a Process Engineer to join Vehicle Operations with a cross-program mandate covering Test, Fleet Reliability, Build, and On Road Deployment across our Automotive, Trucking, and Construction & Mining programs.

Operations across our programs has scaled faster than the methodology behind it, and we need someone whose full-time job is closing that gap. You'll spend time in the ops flow, measure where time and cost actually sit, and identify the highest-leverage improvements. Some of that work is analysis and methodology design; some of it is driving change end-to-end, from design through full rollout.

Our fleet is scaling past 100+ vehicles across three distinct business areas, and the same operational problems keep showing up in different programs. You'll recognize those patterns, design the methodology to solve them once rather than every time, and build the measurement infrastructure that tells us whether what we're doing is actually working.

At Applied Intuition, you will do:

• Workflow and throughput analysis: time-and-motion studies and bottleneck identification across vehicle prep, dispatch, rework, retrofit, and deployment loops.
• Root cause analysis: design and apply structured RCA frameworks for recurring failures, and surface cross-program patterns where the same root cause is driving issues in multiple verticals.
• Measurement framework design: define how operational performance is instrumented and build the dashboards and signals that show whether changes are actually working.
• Process templates and standards: develop SOP structures, runbook formats, checklist templates, and training assessment models that scale across verticals.
• Cross-vertical pattern recognition: identify where the same problem appears in Test, Build, Fleet Reliability, and On Road Deployment so we design the solution once instead of three or four times.
• Continuous improvement: bring Lean / Six Sigma rigor to operational problems and embed it into how the organization runs.

How you'll operate

Your work follows a consistent cycle:

• Observe and measure: spend time in the ops flow, shadow operators, pull data, and understand where time and effort are actually going.
• Analyze: find the real bottlenecks, patterns, and gaps; prioritize by leverage.
• Design: produce structured findings, methodology, and a clear implementation path with prioritization and rationale.
• Implement: drive the change into operations, whether that's rolling out a new framework, retraining a workflow, or restructuring a process end-to-end.
• Re-measure: validate whether the change is moving the metrics, and feed the learning back into the next cycle.

The output compounds. Each cycle adds to the analytical baseline, methodology library, and measurement infrastructure that lets operations scale efficiently.

We're looking for someone who has:

• BS in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years in process engineering, industrial engineering, operations engineering, or a comparable operational analyst role.
• Demonstrated application of Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent continuous improvement methodologies in a production or operational environment.
• Track record of running time-and-motion studies, bottleneck analyses, and root cause investigations that led to measurable change.
• Strong data fluency, comfortable pulling, structuring, and interpreting operational data (spreadsheets required; SQL or BI tools a plus).
• Experience designing measurement frameworks and KPIs for operational teams.
• Ability to influence without authority — your output gets adopted across teams that don't report to you.
• Excellent written communication. The deliverable is a clear, structured finding that's ready to act on, not a deck.

Nice to have:

• Background in automotive, robotics, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, aerospace, or another complex hardware + software operations environment.
• Experience scaling operations from pilot through commercial deployment.
• Familiarity with fleet operations, vehicle servicing and uptime, or test and deployment cycles.
• ISO 9001 / QMS exposure.
• Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt certification.
• MS in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

About Applied Intuition

Applied Intuition builds the toolchain that enables the world's leading physical AI programs to develop, validate, and deploy these complex systems safely. Our software is used by top automotive OEMs, trucking companies, and robotaxi programs to accelerate the path from research to production.

About the Team

The Insights platform is the data and analytics layer underlying Applied Intuition's physical AI development tooling suite. We own the full stack — from ingestion and query infrastructure to data discoverability, dataset management, and next-generation agentic analytics. Our platform gives autonomy engineers complete visibility and control over the data their workflows produce: sensor logs, simulation runs, model eval results, KPIs, and more. It gives users the flexibility to analyze and operationalize that data quickly, minimizing any technical barriers.

We're building the next-generation Insights platform for physical AI — one that scales alongside the fleets, simulation environments, and end-to-end models that define where the industry is headed.

What You'll Work On

Ingestion & Data Reliability — The entry point for all data on the platform. The correctness, freshness, and reliability of everything downstream depends on getting this right at scale across a diverse set of upstream sources.

Query Critical Path — The infrastructure every single query in our product flows through. Latency, correctness, and stability here has a direct, visible impact on every user of the platform, every day.

Dashboarding & Autonomy-Native Visualization — The analytics surface that users actually see. Beyond standard BI, we build visualizations and integrations specific to physical AI: geographic views, log and simulation playback, and domain-specific renderers that don't exist off the shelf.

Agentic Analytics — The frontier of what Insights becomes. Building the architecture that lets an AI understand a user's intent, reason about the underlying data and physical AI concepts, and deliver answers, charts, and dashboards entirely through natural language.

Data Discoverability & Governance — The connective tissue that lets users and agents understand what data exists, where it came from, and how to use it. Without this, scale becomes a liability rather than an asset.

Dataset Lifecycle Management — The operational foundation that keeps the data lakehouse healthy and performant as data volumes grow by orders of magnitude.

Data Wrangling & Transformation — The tools that give users agency over their own data — enabling custom preparation and ETL flows without ever leaving the product.

Why This Role

This is a high-ownership role on a small team building the infrastructure that the entire autonomy development workflow depends on. You'll have end-to-end ownership of systems used daily by engineers at some of the most sophisticated autonomous vehicle programs in the world — at a stage where your architectural decisions will shape the platform for years to come.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of industry experience  
• Experience building production data infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed systems
• Experience with large-scale data processing and query execution at production scale
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals: API design, service reliability, query optimization, distributed system trade-offs, telemetry and monitoring
• Experience with data lakehouse architectures, table formats, or query federation is a strong plus
• Comfort operating across the stack — from storage and query engines to APIs and product-facing tooling
• Familiarity with building for observability: metrics, alerting, and operational health of data systems
• Experience developing, testing, and shipping software with coding agents 
• Bonus: experience with LLM tool use, developing agentic workflows, or semantic layers for natural language interfaces
• Bonus: exposure to multimodal data, geospatial systems, or AV/robotics tooling
