- You've integrated a humanoid or legged/mobile manipulation platform from bring-up through field deployment — not just research or simulation.
- You've owned the interfaces between locomotion, manipulation, and perception, and debugged failures across those seams on real hardware.
- You've built the tooling that made other engineers faster: calibration pipelines, regression harnesses, telemetry dashboards, or release gates that prevented bad deploys.
- You carry hard-won instincts about what separates a demo-ready system from a deployment-ready one — and you've acted on that distinction.
Our salary range is generous and we consider each individual’s background and experience when determining final compensation. Base pay may vary based on role scope, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and the Irvine, California market.
Why Join FieldAI in Irvine?
In Irvine, you will work where the robots are. Our local team builds and tests systems on real hardware with real sensors, then ships them to operate in unstructured, previously unknown environments around the world. We are solving one of robotics’ hardest challenges: reliable deployment outside the lab. Our Field Foundational Models™ raise the bar for perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, with an emphasis on explainability and safety for real-world use.
You will collaborate with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. We bring deep experience from organizations such as DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, along with a track record of field deployments and strong performance in DARPA challenge segments.
