About this role

Field AI is at the forefront of robotic embodied AI, transforming industries like construction, security, mining, and manufacturing. Our autonomous robots operate globally, often in harsh environments, delivering critical insights to customers. Whether monitoring construction progress, ensuring safety compliance, or conducting predictive maintenance, Field AI is advancing technology to make a meaningful impact. About the Role We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead the planning and execution of our 3D mapping projects while remaining hands-on with the underlying technology. This is a hybrid engineering and project management role where you'll contribute directly to the development of our mapping systems while driving projects from concept through production deployment. The ideal candidate has a strong technical background in robotics software, computer vision, or 3D mapping and enjoys coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions. You'll work closely with engineering, product, operations, and customer-facing teams to ensure projects are well planned, clearly communicated, and successfully delivered. We're seeking someone with 4+ years of experience in robotics software development and technical project management who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and enjoys balancing technical problem-solving with project execution. What You'll Get To Do Software Development & Mapping Design, develop, and maintain production-grade software for 3D mapping solutions. Deploy large-scale mapping systems and data processing pipelines into production. Validate mapping systems and algorithms using real robots and sensors in complex, unstructured environments. Build and improve internal tooling, automation, and benchmarking infrastructure to increase reliability and repeatability. Technical Project Management Own mapping projects from planning through delivery, coordinating execution across software, hardware, systems, data, and operations. Translate technical and customer requirements into project plans, milestones, and delivery timelines. Drive cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product, operations, and customer-facing teams.
