About the role

We are looking for bright Hardware Integration Engineers interested in designing and building next-generation compute and sensor hardware for autonomous and AI-driven vehicles. Our hardware engineers work across the full hardware lifecycle — from schematic design and PCB layout to bring-up, validation, and production support — collaborating closely with software, firmware, and mechanical teams to ship reliable systems into production vehicle programs.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

Design and review schematics and PCB layouts for compute, sensor, and interface hardware
Support hardware bring-up and debug, including board-level and component-level troubleshooting
Develop and execute test plans to validate hardware functionality, performance, and reliability
Collaborate with firmware and software engineers to integrate hardware with embedded systems and validate end-to-end functionality
Work with vendors and contract manufacturers to support prototyping, DFM/DFT reviews, and production ramp
Contribute to hardware documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and test reports

We're looking for someone who has:

BS/BA, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related degree
Strong fundamentals in circuit design, digital/analog electronics, and PCB layout graduating by December 2026 or Summer 2027
Experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) for hardware debug and validation
Ability to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and hardware specifications

Nice to have:

Experience with high-speed digital design, power electronics, or RF/sensor interfaces
Familiarity with communication protocols relevant to vehicle systems (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C)
Exposure to compliance/EMC testing or DFM/DFT processes
Prior internship or project experience with automotive, robotics, or embedded hardware
