Solution Engineer - Tooling (Vehicle Intelligence)

Applied Intuition’s Tools for Vehicle Intelligence (including the Applied Development Platform, also known as ADP) is the end-to-end platform for building and validating intelligent systems at petabyte scale. As a Solution Engineer on the Tooling pillar, you will work with ADAS and AD engineering teams at OEMs and Tier 1s to architect and build solutions with Applied’s simulation, data management, and CI/CD validation toolchain.

The platform closes the loop between real-world data collection, scenario extraction, simulation, model training, and evaluation; giving automotive engineering teams the infrastructure to compound performance improvements over time.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers evaluating Applied Intuition’s simulation and data management tooling

• Lead demonstrations, proof-of-concept deployments, and integration workshops for the full toolchain

• Support customers in integrating Applied’s platform into their ADAS/AD CI/CD pipelines (SIL, HIL, VIL stages)

• Guide customers through the design of closed-loop data flywheels: data collection strategy, curation, labeling, scenario extraction, simulation replay, and evaluation

• Help customers configure scenario-based testing and automated pass/fail metrics for their validation programs

• Translate customer feedback into actionable product insights for the Applied engineering team

• Manage technical workstreams and milestones across multi-stakeholder customer programs

• 3+ years of experience in ADAS/AD development, validation, or simulation at an OEM, Tier 1, or technology company

• Hands-on experience with software testing methodologies (unit, SIL, HIL, VIL) for automotive applications

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines in an automotive or embedded software context

• Understanding of sensor types used in ADAS (camera, lidar, radar, ultrasonic) and their data characteristics

• Experience with data management pipelines: ingestion, curation, labeling, or scenario extraction

• Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or related field

• Intermediate Programming experience in Python and/or C++

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; German and/or additional European language is a significant plus

• Customer-facing experience and strong communication and presentation skills

• Experience with a simulation platform (Applied Intuition, CARLA, IPG CarMaker, dSPACE SIMPHERA, VIRES VTD, or similar)

• Familiarity with dSPACE, Vector, or NI toolchains for HIL/SIL test automation

• Knowledge of ISO 8800, ISO 26262, ISO 21448, or ASPICE

• Experience with ML/AI pipelines for model training or perception system evaluation

• Background in fleet data operations, OTA, or post-SOP data-driven improvement loops
