Job summary

FieldAI is seeking a Software/Research Engineer to help build learning systems powering humanoid robots. You will work across whole-body loco-manipulation, reinforcement learning, motion retargeting, and real-world deployment, closing the loop between research, simulation, and robots in the real world.

The role requires hands-on development and deployment experience with robotics systems, sim-to-real challenges, and scalable RL training pipelines.

Qualifications

BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, CS, or related field, or equivalent experience.
Experience with reinforcement learning or related learning-based approaches for robotics.
Strong understanding of robotics fundamentals such as kinematics, dynamics, control, and physical interaction.
Experience simulating and deploying robotic systems on hardware.

Responsibilities

Develop and train whole-body loco-manipulation policies for humanoid robots.
Deploy trained policies to physical humanoids and integrate them into production software.
Advance motion retargeting to map human motion to robot behaviors.
Reduce sim-to-real gap by improving simulators with real-world data.
Build automated evaluation and validation systems for policy transfer.
Improve scalability of robot-learning infrastructure for faster experimentation.
