About the role

As an Engineering Manager on the Trucking Autonomy team, you’ll lead a world-class group of engineers focused on building and deploying scalable perception algorithms for commercial trucking. Your team will develop across all sensor modalities: camera, lidar, and radar with a strong focus on long-range object detection and tracking. You’ll help evolve our perception architecture toward a robust L4 end-to-end autonomy stack, setting technical direction and team goals that align with our safety, performance, and deployment milestones.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Grow and manage a team of world class engineers with the goal of building and deploying scalable perception algorithms for commercial trucking scenarios

• Prioritize development across all sensor modalities, including camera, lidar and radar, with emphasis on long-range object detection and tracking

• Evolve the architecture to achieve the final goal of an L4 end-to-end stack

• Set team goals and roadmap in alignment with safety, performance, and deployment requirements

• Partner with ML, simulation, and data engineering teams to accelerate performance and validation cycles

• Drive hiring, mentoring, and growth for a high-performing, mission-driven team

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of engineering management experience leading high-performing perception or ML teams

• Strong technical background in machine learning, with the ability to translate research into production-grade solutions and guide architectural decisions

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally with other teams like infra, data, and behavior

• Track record of shipping perception systems into production at scale, ideally within L2+/L4 autonomy programs (e.g., automotive, trucking, or robotics)

• Prior experience in transitioning a perception stack from R&D to commercial deployment

Nice to have:

• Direct experience working in the Trucking autonomy domain
