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
- Experience with embedded platforms (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, x86 NUCs, custom SBCs).
- Proficiency with Linux system configuration, scripting, and headless deployment tools.
- Strong skills in firmware development for microcontrollers, including bare-metal and RTOS environments.
- Proficient in C++ and Python for embedded and application-level development.
- Experience with USB, Ethernet, I²C, SPI, CAN, GMSL, and similar interfaces.
- Familiarity with ROS, device drivers, TF, and data streaming/publishing.
- Comfort with hardware/software debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logs, power monitors, analyzers).
Responsibilities
- Architect and configure embedded compute platforms (ARM/x86, SBCs) for robotic applications including evaluation, testing and selection.
- Set up and customize Linux environments (Ubuntu, Yocto, JetPack), middleware (ROS), and I/O interfaces.
- Integrate compute with sensing and robotic systems. Analyze thermal, power, and bandwidth constraints to meet deployment and runtime requirements.
- Bring up sensors and peripherals using a range of protocols (USB, Ethernet, GMSL, I²C, SPI, CAN).
- Build and maintain drivers, ROS nodes, and data acquisition pipelines for new hardware components.
- Create configuration files, launch scripts, and firmware update workflows.
- Conduct system-level tests such as thermal profiling, latency measurement, and power draw analysis.
Other
- We are recruiting across a wide range of experience levels from entry level engineers to senior and staff engineers.
- Experience taking systems from prototype to large scale production.
- Experience developing systems for harsh field environments.
- Experience working on robotics deployed in real world settings such as autonomous vehicles, drones, or ruggedized robots.
- Fluency across software, electrical, and mechanical systems.
