About the role

Staff Specialist Field Engineer to establish and lead the Physical AI Field Engineering practice in Robotics, defining engagement with robotics customers, setting technical standards, and leading complex deployments from scoping to embedded deployment and expansion.

Responsibilities

  • Define how the team engages with robotics customers and lead complex customer engagements from initial scoping through to embedded deployment and expansion.
  • Build and iterate on customer-facing applications using the CoreWeave product stack tailored to specific engineering use cases; the applications are the product the customer uses.
  • Gather and synthesize signals from real deployments to inform development of standalone capabilities.
  • Contribute to the wider Field Engineering team’s Physical AI knowledge framework and provide signals of customer needs and product directions.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years experience in robotics systems development, robot learning, or AI/ML for physical autonomous systems (manipulation, locomotion, or mobile robotics).
  • Deep understanding of physical system dynamics, kinematics, and real-world engineering constraints.
  • Hands-on ML capability: build, validate, and deploy ML solutions independently in Python using modern ML frameworks.
  • Proficient in JupyterHub, VS Code, Marimo, and W&B Models for building and deploying customer-facing applications.
  • Knowledge of ML approaches relevant to robotics: imitation learning, reinforcement learning, sim-to-real transfer, anomaly detection for physical systems, trajectory prediction.
  • Ability to validate ML solutions on physical grounds and identify constraint violations.
  • Experience leading complex technical customer engagements and managing multi-stakeholder relationships, with executive relationship management.
  • Familiarity with robot simulation environments (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar).
  • Ability to translate field observations into structured product signals for engineering teams.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related technical field.
