About the role

FieldAI Irvine is hiring a Robotics Engineer to integrate humanoid software and hardware subsystems into a cohesive, testable, deployment-ready robot stack, bridging perception, localization, planning, locomotion, manipulation, sensors, compute, networking, diagnostics, and release workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Integrate humanoid subsystems into a reliable full-stack robot system running on physical hardware.
  • Define and maintain interfaces across autonomy, manipulation, locomotion, sensors, compute, controls, and field tools.
  • Own robot bring-up, calibration, configuration, diagnostics, and validation workflows.
  • Debug system-level issues across software, hardware, networking, timing, compute constraints, sensor data, and robot behavior.
  • Develop integration tests, regression tests, telemetry tools, dashboards, and release-readiness checks.
  • Partner with manipulation, hardware, QA/QC, field application, and service teams to keep humanoid platforms continuously shippable.
  • Harden research or prototype capabilities into maintainable, testable, deployment-ready modules.

Qualifications

  • MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field preferred; BS considered with a demonstrated track record of hands-on robotics work across multiple physical systems — research projects, competition robotics, or internships with daily hardware exposure.
  • Background appropriate for a junior-to-mid engineer; fresh MS and PhD graduates welcome.
  • Strong hands-on experience integrating robotic systems on real hardware — must include physical hardware; simulation-only backgrounds will not be considered.
  • Strong C++ and Python skills in Linux-based robotics environments.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2, robot middleware, drivers, calibration, diagnostics, logging, and distributed systems.
  • Understanding of perception, planning, controls, locomotion, manipulation, sensor integration, and embedded compute constraints.
  • Ability to profile performance, isolate failures, define interfaces, and coordinate across multiple technical teams.
