About Applied Intuition Applied Intuition is the vehicle intelligence company that accelerates the global adoption of safe, AI-driven machines. The company delivers the toolchain, Vehicle OS, and autonomy stacks to help customers build intelligent vehicles and shorten time to market.

About EpiSci EpiSci, an Applied Intuition company, develops next-generation, tactical autonomy solutions for national security problems. EpiSci’s autonomy software is technology agnostic, operationally informed, tactically relevant, and has piloted swarms of uncrewed aerial systems and tactical fighter aircraft. Additional applications include crewed-uncrewed teaming for air dominance, cognitive sensors, and networks for advanced communications systems, as well as battle management command and control for informed decision-making.

The Role As a Multi-Agent Teaming Autonomy Engineer on the Air Combat Autonomy team at EpiSci, you will design, implement, and optimize algorithms for groups of unmanned autonomous systems operating within human-machine teams in contested and uncertain battlefield environments. You will rapidly prototype, iterate, use data-driven workflows to find the best solutions, collaborate with high-performing teammates, and apply a mix of proven techniques and creative approaches.

Responsibilities

Build decision-making architectures for coordination of actions across teams of homogeneous or heterogeneous autonomous agents in real-world environments with limited human interaction

Develop and implement techniques to promote explainability within the decision-making architecture

Write software that operates real autonomous aircraft systems including F16 fighter jets, group 1-5 UAVs, and simulated models to accomplish tactical missions

Collaborate with DoD warfighter domain experts and 3rd party UAS vendors to develop and integrate autonomy software onto OEM hardware

Implement and optimize autonomy algorithms for tasks such as sensor processing, track propagation and correlation, environment mapping, mission and trajectory planning, reasoning over discrete or uncertain states, optimization, learning, and control theory

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related engineering field

3+ years of hands-on experience developing multi-agent teaming software for autonomous robotic systems

Experience with C++/Python autonomy algorithms

Experience developing decision-making AI for autonomous unmanned systems

Strong procedural and object-oriented programming experience with clean code principles and solid OOP design
