About the Job

Field AI is seeking passionate scientists and engineers to play a vital role in the development of advanced geometric robot perception algorithms. As a member of our Calibration, Localization, and Mapping (CLAM) team, you will work with a team of high-focused individuals in a fast-paced environment to deliver production-quality code within our calibration, localization, and mapping subsystems. You will work with a variety of different sensing modalities and help streamline our calibration pipeline and/or develop environment-agnostic localization and mapping algorithms for our downstream autonomy modules. The specific project and work that you will be doing will depend on your specific skill set and area of interest. The ideal candidate will not only have a deep theoretical understanding of modern calibration, localization, and mapping algorithms, but also the practical skills to deliver high-quality and maintainable code on a small, focused team in a fast-paced environment.

Field AI Onsite Work Philosophy:

Field AI believes in-person collaboration is essential for tackling complex challenges. This is a fully onsite role based in our Boston, MA office, with flexible hours to support work-life balance.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.

Compensation and Benefits

We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

Why Join Field AI?

We are solving one of the world's most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.

You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision - innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We're seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.

We are headquartered in always-sunny Irvine, Southern California and have US based and global teammates.

Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
