Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world by building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence.
Requirements
- Hands-on work with perception sensors such as LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, GPS.
- Strong foundation in optics, signal processing, and electromagnetic wave propagation.
- Hands-on testing, calibration, and debugging skills (oscilloscopes, logs, vibration/thermal setups)
- Experience with protocols such as USB, Ethernet, GMSL, CAN, I2C, and CSI.
- Experience working with ROS/ROS2, sensor drivers, coordinate transforms (TF), and timing protocols (PTP, NTP, etc.).
- Experience with timestamping, synchronization, triggering, and latency constraints.
- Experience designing and executing intrinsic, extrinsic, and temporal calibrations, along with sensor characterization under real-world environmental conditions.
Responsibilities
- Work across hardware and software teams to define sensing requirements. Identity, test, and select sensors such as LiDARs, depth cameras, GPS, IMUs, ToF, and other devices.
- Integrate sensors with electrical (USB, Ethernet, I2C, CAN, GMSL), mechanical (mounts, jigs, isolation), and software (configurations, drivers, ROS nodes) systems. Ensuring power, thermal, and protocol compatibility.
- Architect system to meet spatial performance requirements including spatial coverage, range, resolution, and transform accuracy.
- Implement and validate synchronization strategies, triggering schemes, timestamp encoding, and end-to-end latency minimization.
- Evaluate sensor performance (spatial resolution, temporal drift, EMI noise, sync errors etc.). Test under real-world environmental conditions (vibration, lighting, moisture, temperature).
- Design and execute both intrinsic and extrinsic calibrations. Build alignment rigs and calibration boards as needed.
- Tune sensor configurations (exposure, gain, filtering, frame rate, etc.) and processing pipeline (filtering etc.) for optimal performance
Other
- We are recruiting across a wide range of experience levels from entry level engineers to senior and staff engineers.
- Cross-functional collaboration experience across electrical, mechanical, and software teams.
- While your focus will be on sensors you will likely contribute across all hardware domains.
- We are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.
- We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
