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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Current master’s or PhD enrollment in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, AI/ML, or a closely related field
- Research experience in robotic manipulation, robot learning, embodied AI, or a related area
- A strong research or open-source track record, demonstrated through substantive publications, research software, or technically rigorous projects
- Clear ownership of original research or technical development, including implementation and evaluation
- Strong foundations in robotics, machine learning, and experimental design
- Proficiency in Python and/or C++
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.
We are offering Spring, Summer, and Fall 2027 research internships in the Irvine office for Master’s and PhD students advancing robotic manipulation.
You will investigate how robots can perform useful physical tasks reliably across diverse objects, environments, and robot platforms. Working closely with researchers and engineers, you will own a focused research project and help translate promising ideas into capabilities that can be tested on hardware and improved through real deployment...
