Job Description

Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.

Were looking for software engineers who are passionate about defining and evolving human-robot interaction with robots of all shapes and sizes. This is a unique opportunity to combine technical expertise with creativity, building real-world systems that make collaboration with our robot co-workers intuitive, effective, and fun. If youve been growing as both a developer and designer and taken on prior roles as a hybrid developer-designer, design technologist, or design developer, youll feel right at home.

If your career has led you down a path of defining the unknown, straddling both design and development, or working with applications that demand unwavering performance and robustness in chaotic conditions, youre ready to dive into the challenges of the world of robotics.

What You Will Get To Do

• Utilize your eye for design to implement creative solutions for visualizing complex robotic systems, sensor data, and machine learning outputs.
• Design and develop intuitive UIs (3D + 2D) for telepresence that allow end users to control, monitor, manage and analyze individual robots and robot fleets.
• Work closely with robotics engineers across various domains to own and create full end-to-end experiences and products for our users.
• Optimize applications for responsiveness, reliability, and scalability, even in bandwidth or connectivity-constrained environments.
• Explore new ways to make robots more approachable and usable to the general public.

What You Have

• Experience: 3+ years in software development with a focus on robotics, human-autonomy interfaces, or interactive 3D applications.
• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python or C++, with experience in frameworks and libraries like React, NextJS, three.js, react-three-fiber, d3, WebGL.
• Familiarity with ROS (Robot Operating System), WebSockets, and real-time data visualization + processing.
• Innovation: Excitement to explore lots of uncharted territory in the field of human-robot interaction with a penchant for iterative development and learning from failures.

What Will Set You Apart

• User-Centric Mindset: A solid understanding of usability principles or user-centered design is a major plus.

Compensation and Benefits

Our salary range is generous ($70,000 - $300,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

Why Join Field AI?

We are solving one of the worlds most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.

You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. Were seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.

We are headquartered in always-sunny Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California and have US based and global teammates.

Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, martial status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
