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

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.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • 2+ years of experience working on real autonomous systems in industry or research
  • Strong debugging skills across the full autonomy stack, from sensors and drivers to planning and control
  • Solid programming skills in C++ and Python in Linux-based environments
  • Familiarity with robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
  • Experience analyzing logs, telemetry, and recorded robot data to understand system behavior
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.

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 – Triage, you’ll be the fastest link between what our robots experience in the field and how our autonomy stack improves, reproducing behaviors, finding root causes, and driving rapid fixes and tests that make every deployment smoother...
