About the role

Applied Intuition in Sunnyvale seeks an Engineering Manager to lead the Firmware team within Vehicle OS. You will drive architecture, development, and integration of foundational embedded systems powering next‑gen automotive experiences. You will mentor engineers across real‑time OS, board support packages, and HALs, partnering with hardware and software teams to deliver robust RTOS, Linux kernel, and device drivers for safety‑critical vehicles.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
