Software Engineer - Performance Optimization

About the role

Applied Intuition is seeking a Software Engineer with deep expertise in optimizing application‑layer software for embedded systems. You will work across multiple components of an autonomous‑driving software stack deployed on embedded compute platforms, ensuring the stack fits tight compute budgets while preserving algorithmic performance.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze runtime performance of the application layer and pinpoint resource contentions.
• Optimize compute usage to meet embedded platform constraints without sacrificing accuracy or latency.
• Profile and tune performance on embedded targets.
• Ensure efficient concurrent execution of multiple applications.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to integrate performance improvements throughout the stack.

Required profile

• Proven experience optimizing software for embedded systems.
• Strong understanding of autonomous‑driving software architectures.
• Ability to work on complex, performance‑critical codebases.
• Experience with runtime analysis and performance tuning.

Required skills

• Embedded systems development.
• Performance analysis and profiling.
• Concurrent execution optimization.
• Algorithmic performance tuning on resource‑constrained hardware.
