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

Join Field AI’s Simulation team for a 12-week internship building tools that connect real-world robot deployments with autonomy development. You’ll work alongside simulation and autonomy engineers on a scoped project in simulation tooling, sensor fidelity, real-to-sim workflows, or autonomy evaluation, with opportunities to validate your work against real robot data.

What they're looking for

  • Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Programming experience in Python and/or C++ through coursework, research, internships, or personal projects
  • Foundational knowledge in one or more areas such as robotics, simulation, computer graphics, physics, or software engineering
  • Experience building and debugging software, including familiarity with Git and Linux
  • Interest in understanding how sensing, timing, physics, and environments affect robot behavior
  • A collaborative mindset, curiosity, and willingness to learn unfamiliar tools
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.
