About the role

Field AI is building the future of autonomy with 3D mapping solutions in real-world deployments. The Mapping Solution Engineer will own deployment, integration, and ongoing performance in field environments, interfacing with software, robotics, operations, and customers to deliver reliable mapping solutions in large-scale, unstructured settings.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain production-grade software for 3D mapping applications.
  • Deploy large-scale mapping systems and data processing pipelines into real-world environments.
  • Validate mapping systems and algorithms through testing on robots, sensors, and field deployments.
  • Build internal tooling, automation, and benchmarking infrastructure to improve reliability, performance, and repeatability.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize mapping workflows across software, hardware, and data pipelines.
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of mapping data products, including data capture, processing, quality validation, and customer handoff.
  • Support on-site and remote deployments, ensuring systems are operational and performing as expected.
  • Conduct technical demonstrations, pilots, and evaluations for prospective and existing customers.
  • Partner with internal engineering teams and customers to identify issues, gather feedback, and drive improvements.
  • Develop scalable deployment processes, documentation, and best practices to improve future rollouts.
  • Translate real-world deployment challenges into actionable technical improvements.
  • Analyze field data and system performance to improve mapping reliability and customer outcomes.
  • Work across robotics, software, operations, and customer teams to solve complex technical challenges.
  • Support mission-critical robotic deployments in dynamic and unpredictable environments.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Geomatics, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 2+ years of experience in robotics software development, 3D mapping, systems integration, or field deployment of complex technical systems.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python with experience writing production-quality software.
  • Experience with 3D geometry, point cloud processing, and algorithms such as ICP and NDT.
  • Familiarity with point cloud libraries and tools such as PCL or Open3D.
  • Experience working with LiDAR systems and 3D data formats including PCD, PLY, E57, or LAS.
  • Familiarity with ROS, Git, and Linux/Ubuntu-based development environments.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across software, hardware, and networking systems.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Willingness to travel and work on-site with customers as needed.
