Job description

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.

We're looking for a Network Solution Engineerto own the network backbone that keeps our robots online, mission-ready, and connected — from Wi‑Fi and cellular to routers and customer private networks. Robots can't run missions if they can't stay connected, and you'll be the person who makes sure they do: bringing up field routers, troubleshooting coverage and interference on-site, and partnering with customer IT to get robots admitted onto their networks.

This role sits at the intersection of networking, field operations, and customer enablement. You'll triage issues across software, hardware, and networking layers, build the monitoring and tooling that surfaces connectivity health across the fleet, and turn what you learn in the field into playbooks and product feedback that make every future deployment smoother.

What You’ll Get To Do

Site Connectivity Deployment & Operations

• Own end-to-end connectivity for deployments — Wi‑Fi, cellular, routers, and customer private networks.
• Bring up, configure, test, and recover field routers so robots come online and stay mission-ready.
• Partner with customer site IT on access‑point placement and coverage — flagging dead zones, interference, and weak spots along mission paths, and advising on placement, channel, and antenna adjustments.
• Resolve connectivity failures in the field: poor coverage, weak or failing cellular and SIMs, access‑point and backhaul issues, regulatory/DFS "no-channels" states, and roaming problems.
