FieldAI; Boston, Northern (MA, KY); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

FieldAI is hiring a 3D/AR/VR Software Engineer to support humanoid UI/UX and AR/VR applications for supervising, manipulating, and locomoting humanoid robots in real-world environments. You will build reliable, user-facing systems spanning design, prototyping, UI implementation, and robot integration.

You will collaborate across perception, planning, control, and hardware, turning research into deployable software with a focus on 3D interfaces, input, and rendering.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Game Development, Creative Technology, Design, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong programming skills in C#, C++, or a different relevant language
• Experience designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining production-quality software.
• Experience working with Unity, Unreal, git, containers, build systems, and continuous-integration workflows.
• Experience working with Meta Quest, Apple, Varjo or comparable headsets
• Strong debugging skills across complex, interactive, distributed, and performance-sensitive systems.
• Ability to understand prototype code and convert it into maintainable, reliable implementations.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
• Ownership, attention to detail, and a strong focus on reliability and usability for software evaluated by end users.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the robotics AI research roadmap in alignment with FieldAI’s mission and product goals.
• Identify emerging research directions, tools, and techniques across robotics, embodied AI, and machine learning.
• Establish clear technical goals, milestones, and success metrics tied to real-world robot performance.
• Design and implement intuitive 3D workflows for supervising, manipulating, and controlling humanoid robots in AR/VR.
• Build interaction techniques for spatial input, visualization, teleoperation, task specification, and robot feedback.
• Prototype, evaluate, and iterate on new interaction concepts through user studies and deployment on real robotic systems.
• Integrate AR/VR applications with robot perception, planning, manipulation, locomotion, and control systems.
• Build robust interfaces for exchanging commands, state, sensor data, and 3D scene representations between robots and user-facing applications.
• Debug and optimize end-to-end system behavior across headsets, networks, compute infrastructure, and robotic hardware.
• Turn research prototypes into reliable, maintainable applications that can be deployed and operated on real robots.
• Develop tooling, testing, monitoring, and deployment workflows that support repeatable operation across robots and environments.
• Diagnose failures in the field and continuously improve system performance, reliability, usability, and robustness.
• Work closely with researchers and engineers across perception, planning, control, manipulation, and hardware.
• Translate new robotic capabilities into user-facing workflows and identify interface requirements that inform system design.
