About this role

Applied Intuition seeks a Software Engineer to join the Seoul, South Korea office to build multi-agent autonomy development tools for defense customers. This on-site role suits a professional with engineering experience in unmanned aerial systems or multi-agent optimization who can collaborate with global teams and local customers.

Role Overview

Applied Intuition is hiring a Software Engineer for its defense team located in Seoul. The position focuses on building multi-agent autonomy development tools that defense customers use to design, train, and validate coordinated unmanned aerial vehicle behavior. The engineer will collaborate daily with product and engineering teams in the United States and work directly with Korean defense customers to translate operational requirements into product capabilities. The position follows an in-office work model at the Seoul office in Gangnam.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain core features of autonomy development tools focusing on multi-agent mission planning, coordination, and training workflows.
Validate tools in practice by building reference multi-agent UAV autonomy, exercising the workflow from simulation to deployment on real airframes, and turning issues into product requirements.
Define simulation usage across the development cycle, including fidelity requirements, tuning workflows, and closing the gap between simulated and real flight behavior.
Collaborate with US-based product and engineering teams to deliver features on shared roadmaps as a Korea-based extension of global product teams.
Contribute to system-level design and architecture to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance.
Run technical deep dives with Korean defense customers to probe operational requirements and translate needs into product specifications.
Guide customers on utilizing tools for developing multi-agent unmanned systems using hands-on experience.
Mentor engineers and share domain knowledge across the Korea team.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
Minimum of 5 years of professional engineering experience or equivalent research experience in a fast-paced, customer-oriented environment.
Hands-on experience in unmanned aerial systems development or multi-agent optimization and control.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and C++.
Experience working on complex, multidisciplinary projects in a collaborative team setting.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a dynamic environment.
Excellent English communication skills for daily collaboration with the USA team and documentation.
Ability to lead technical discussions directly with customers.

Nice to Have

Experience across both unmanned aerial systems development and multi-agent optimization and control.
Familiarity with flight control stacks and autopilot software such as PX4 and ArduPilot.
Familiarity with ATR, drone swarming, path planning, or aerospace control systems.
Experience building simulation platforms, machine learning training infrastructure, or developer tooling for robotics, autonomy, or defense applications.
Experience in closed-network or air-gapped deployment environments.
Professional fluency in Korean for direct technical engagement with Korean defense customers.
