One Autonomy for All Robots. Field-proven embodied AI software that is finally unlocking the full potential of mobile robots in the real world. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
Field AI is building the future of autonomy—from rugged terrain to real-world deployment. We’re on a mission to develop intelligent, adaptable robotic systems that operate beyond simulation and thrive in unpredictable environments. As our Robotics Autonomy Engineer – Manipulation, you’ll lead the development and deployment of whole-body control and manipulation capabilities for humanoids and arm-equipped quadrupeds, turning real field scenarios into behaviors our robots perform reliably every day.
What they're looking for
- Master’s degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (PhD strongly preferred)
- Deep expertise in robot manipulation or whole-body control
- 2+ years of experience developing and deploying manipulation behaviors on real robotic systems (preferred)
- Hands-on experience with robot arms, hands or grippers, and humanoid or mobile manipulation platforms
- Solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, contact modeling, and force control
- Experience with manipulation planning and control, such as trajectory optimization or model predictive control (MPC)
More about this role
FieldAI ’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.
