Robotics Verification & Validation Engineer

Field AI; Irvine (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Field AI in Irvine, CA is seeking a hands-on Verifications Engineer to design and execute verification and validation strategies for complete robotic systems, from individual capabilities to autonomous missions. You will define clear acceptance criteria, performance metrics, and test methodologies, and validate system behavior across multiple platforms and operating conditions.

You will build scalable test infrastructure spanning simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and lab testing; create reusable

Responsibilities

• Design and execute verification and validation strategies for complete robotic systems, from individual capabilities through full autonomous missions
• Develop clear acceptance criteria, performance metrics, and test methodologies for new robot capabilities
• Validate system behavior across multiple robotic platforms, environments, and operating conditions
• Build repeatable qualification and regression processes that allow new capabilities to ship without compromising existing functionality
• Establish a clear understanding of what “deployment-ready” means and provide quantitative evidence that systems meet that bar.
• Develop automated test infrastructure spanning simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, lab testing, and full robot operation
• Create reusable test scenarios and evaluation frameworks that exercise autonomy under nominal, edge-case, and failure conditions
• Build tools for experiment execution, telemetry collection, automated analysis, visualization, and reporting
• Improve the reproducibility of robot testing so failures can be recreated, diagnosed, and verified efficiently
• Help move validation from individual one-off tests toward continuously running, scalable system evaluation
