🌍 Remote, USA 🎯 Full-time 🕐 Posted Recently

Job Description

FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world by building advanced AI systems for robotics. The Robotics AI Engineer will design and implement AI-driven planning and control architectures to enhance robotic performance in complex environments.


Responsibilities

  • Design and implement next-generation AI-powered Field Foundation Models (FFMs) and Dynamics Foundation Models (DFMs)
  • Pioneer risk-aware, uncertainty-driven decision-making architectures that enable autonomous robots to navigate unstructured, high-stakes environments
  • Reimagine planning algorithms, trajectory optimization, and task scheduling as a fusion of probabilistic reasoning, geometric intelligence, and adaptive AI, ensuring precise and reliable robot motion in dynamic environments
  • Work extensively with ROS (Robot Operating System) to develop, test, and integrate next-gen autonomous intelligence modules
  • Design, implement, and test real-world and simulation-learning loops, where self-evolving models refine planning, control, and perception through real-world interaction
  • Conduct field tests to validate performance and optimize system behavior
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to ensure seamless software-hardware integration
  • Travel to customer sites to deploy, calibrate, and fine-tune robotic systems in diverse and challenging real-world conditions
  • Work closely with other engineering teams to align development efforts and achieve cohesive system performance
  • Communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders to explain robotic capabilities and project progress

Skills

  • Strong programming skills: Proficiency in Python and C++ for algorithm development and system integration
  • Proficiency in ROS (Robot Operating System): Experience developing and integrating robotic software solutions
  • Hands-On Robotics Experience: Practical experience working with autonomous robotic systems, including testing and deployment in the field
  • Understanding of Planning and Controls: Solid knowledge of path planning, control theory, and trajectory optimization
  • Ability and availability to travel: Ability and eagerness to travel to customer sites for deployments, testing, and troubleshooting (up to 30% travel)
  • Excellent Communication Skills: Ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences
  • Experience with GPU programming (CUDA C++, PyTorch) a significant plus
  • Experience with real-time systems or robotics middleware
  • Familiarity with sensor integration and perception algorithms
  • Knowledge of machine learning techniques applied to robotics
  • Exposure to industrial robotics applications in sectors like construction, mining, or manufacturing
  • Experience working in harsh or outdoor environments
  • Experience working with humanoid or legged robots
  • Advanced degree (Bachelors, Master's) in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Understanding of safety standards and compliance in robotics

Company Overview

  • FieldAI is the general-purpose brain making robots autonomous in complex, risky, real-world environments. It was founded in 2023, and is headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, USA, with a workforce of 51-200 employees. Its website is https://www.fieldai.com.
