Systems Engineer - Over the Air Software Updates

Applied Intuition builds the toolchain, Vehicle OS, and autonomy stacks used by top automakers and defense programs to accelerate safe AI-driven vehicles. We are seeking a Systems Engineer focused on Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates to design and implement secure, scalable update systems for software-defined vehicles, working across systems architecture, embedded software, cybersecurity, and functional safety teams.

Skills

  • Hands-on implementation of OTA solutions for automotive OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers
  • 5+ years in embedded systems with focus on software update mechanisms
  • Strong knowledge of secure deployment: PKI, code signing, secure boot, cryptographic verification
  • Experience with embedded Linux, QNX, or similar POSIX-based OS update mechanisms
  • Familiarity with AUTOSAR Classic or Adaptive and integrating OTA into those frameworks
  • Experience working with functional safety (ISO 26262) and ASIL considerations
  • Ability to design orchestration for multi-ECU, fleet-scale updates
  • Experience developing HIL and system-level validation for updates

Responsibilities

  • Design end-to-end OTA update architectures supporting atomic updates, rollback, and differential patching for ECUs and domain controllers
  • Develop orchestration systems to coordinate multi-ECU updates while preserving vehicle safety and minimizing downtime
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to implement PKI-based code signing, secure boot chains, and tamper detection
  • Integrate OTA capabilities with POSIX-based embedded systems and AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive platforms
  • Define packaging, versioning, and dependency management strategies for complex ADAS and infotainment stacks
  • Partner with functional safety teams to ensure ISO 26262 compliance and maintain ASIL requirements during updates
  • Develop testing and validation frameworks, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and fleet-scale deployment validation
  • Produce comprehensive system documentation, requirements, and traceability artifacts to support certification

Education

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • Relevant industry training or certifications in embedded systems, cybersecurity, or automotive functional safety preferred

Benefits

  • Base salary plus equity (options and/or RSUs)
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Learning and wellness stipends
