About FieldAI

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 are on a mission to develop intelligent, adaptable robotic systems that operate beyond simulation and thrive in unpredictable environments.

What they're looking for

  • Strong understanding of motion planning, trajectory generation, and control systems
  • Experience developing algorithms for one or more robotic systems (wheeled, legged, wheeled-legged, humanoid)
  • Familiarity with motion planning libraries like OMPL, MoveIt, Nav2 stack etc
  • Solid programming skills in C++ and Python on Linux-based systems
  • Familiarity with robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
  • Experience with robot sensors including LiDARs, stereo/depth cameras, IMUs, GPS, wheel encoders
