About Field AI
Field AI is at the forefront of robotic embodied AI, transforming industries such as construction, security, mining, and manufacturing. Our autonomous robotic systems operate globally in complex and demanding environments, providing customers with critical operational insights and capabilities. Whether monitoring construction progress, ensuring safety compliance, or conducting predictive maintenance, Field AI is advancing technology to create meaningful real-world impact.
Our team includes experts from NASA, Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics, Uber, Cruise, Zoox, Amazon, SpaceX, Tesla, MIT, Caltech, Berkeley, Stanford, CU, and many other world-class organizations. Together, we are united by a shared passion for redefining the future through robotics and autonomous systems.
We are seeking a proactive and technically skilled Field Application Engineer to lead customer deployments and support the implementation of Field AI's autonomous robotic systems, including quadrupeds, rovers, and humanoid robots.
This role serves as a primary technical point of contact between customers, field operations, and engineering teams. The ideal candidate combines strong technical aptitude with project management and customer engagement skills and is comfortable operating in dynamic field environments where independent judgment, technical problem-solving, and effective communication are critical to success.
What You Will Do
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers throughout deployment, testing, and operational activities
Lead customer-facing engagements related to deployment planning, implementation, system performance, and ongoing support
Develop deployment plans, project timelines, operational procedures, and technical implementation strategies for autonomous robotic systems
Coordinate and drive execution across engineering, operations, and customer teams to ensure successful project outcomes
Deploy and supervise advanced robotic systems in customer and field environments
Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, autonomy, networking, and systems integration issues in live operational settings
Evaluate field performance data and communicate findings, risks, and recommendations to engineering and product teams
Manage multiple customer deployments and technical projects simultaneously while balancing competing priorities and timelines
Lead technical reviews, deployment readiness assessments, and project status discussions with internal and external stakeholders
Act as a trusted advisor to customers by translating complex technical concepts into actionable operational guidance
Document technical findings, deployment outcomes, and customer feedback to influence product development and deployment strategies
Identify opportunities to improve deployment processes, customer experience, operational efficiency, and product adoption
Support demonstrations, field testing activities, and strategic customer engagements
Technical Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline

Hands-on experience with robotics platforms, autonomous systems, drones, quadrupeds, humanoids, or related technologies
Familiarity with sensors, electronics, embedded systems, networking, and robotic subsystems
Programming or scripting experience using Python, C++, or similar languages
Ability to independently evaluate technical challenges and develop practical solutions in uncertain environments
Strong technical communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical audiences
Ability to interpret field data and provide actionable recommendations to engineering and product teams
Project Management & Customer Leadership
Experience serving as a customer-facing technical point of contact
Ability to independently manage deployment projects, schedules, technical deliverables, and stakeholder expectations
Strong project management skills, including planning, prioritization, risk assessment, issue resolution, and execution
Experience coordinating cross-functional teams to execute complex technical initiatives
Ability to exercise independent judgment when resolving technical, operational, and customer-facing challenges
Skilled at balancing customer requirements, technical constraints, and business objectives in dynamic environments
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including customer presentations, project updates, and technical documentation
Additional Qualifications
Comfortable with frequent travel and working on-site with customers and field teams
Ability to adapt to rapidly changing priorities, environments, and operational requirements
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
Self-motivated with a high degree of ownership, accountability, and initiative
Ability to occasionally lift and move equipment weighing up to 50 pounds as required during deployments

FieldAI is building general robot intelligence for the physical world. FieldAI’s technology enables robots to operate safely and reliably in unstructured environments where most of the world’s work happens, without prior maps, GPS, predefined routes, or supporting infrastructure. Its hardware-agnostic approach works across different robot types, allowing customers to deploy the right form factor for the job. FieldAI robots are deployed globally across hundreds of customer sites on three continents, supporting industries including construction, energy, security, and manufacturing. Founded by veterans of NASA JPL, DARPA, and Google DeepMind, FieldAI is bringing AI off the screen and into the field.
