Robotics Integration Engineer, Tech Lead at Applied · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

The Industrials team automates and adds intelligence to heavy machinery across construction, mining, and agriculture. As a Senior Robotics & Integration Engineer, you will own the software and hardware platform that our intelligent autonomy stack runs on — everything from networking, time synchronization, sensors and drivers, and middleware, down to embedded systems, drive-by-wire, and low-level controls actuation. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and robotics, blending 0→1 development with production systems and direct product and customer-facing work. You will partner with core teams across the company — such as electrical, middleware, firmware, and hardware, etc. — and bring their work together, adapting it into products that enable customer success. As a tech lead, you will coordinate and prioritize the work of multiple engineers on the team as well as cross-functional efforts with internal teams.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
Own the vehicle platform end-to-end: networking, time synchronization, sensor selection and drivers, middleware integration, embedded software, drive-by-wire, and low-level controls actuation
Architect and deliver full-system platform capabilities spanning hardware and software, taking them from 0→1 prototypes through to reliable production systems deployed on heavy machinery
Integrate the cross-functional work of internal teams into cohesive, product-ready platforms adapted to customer machines and use cases
Interact directly with customers to identify target use cases, define platform requirements, and drive integrations through to successful deployment in the field
Lead and coordinate a team of engineers: set technical direction, prioritize across competing workstreams, and manage cross-functional dependencies with internal teams
Design and bring up test rigs and validation infrastructure for end-to-end system testing, hardware-in-the-loop verification, and on-vehicle validation
Debug, test, and troubleshoot complex interactions across the full stack — from sensor timing and network behavior to actuation and controls — to ensure reliability and system performance in harsh, real-world environments
We're looking for someone who has:
5+ years of experience in robotics, systems integration, or platform software development, with demonstrated technical leadership or tech lead experience
Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related area

Qualification

Experience with heavy machinery

Preferred

Experience with heavy machinery, off-road vehicles, agriculture, mining, or construction equipment
Experience with automotive and industrial communication technologies, including CAN, J1939, LIN, Ethernet/TSN, PTP/gPTP, AUTOSAR, etc.
Experience taking robotic systems from prototype to production, including safety considerations, release processes, and CI/CD for embedded targets
Experience interacting directly with customers to scope, deliver, and support projects that meet their requirements
Firmware development experience or familiarity with microcontroller-based systems
Skills in adjacent areas (electrical/harness design, CAD/3D printing, PCB design, etc.)
Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
