About this role

FieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.

FieldAI is seeking a Principal Robotics Engineer to set technical direction across our autonomy software stack and to take ownership of our hardest, highest-leverage engineering problems. As a Principal-level individual contributor, you will architect production-grade systems spanning perception, localization, planning, and control; define the interfaces and quality standards that let dozens of engineers move fast without breaking the fleet; and translate cutting-edge research into reliable, field-ready capabilities running on legged and wheeled robots worldwide. This is a technical leadership role: you will multiply the output of the entire autonomy organization through architecture, mentorship, and cross-team influence rather than through people management.
