Field AI is looking to solve the complex challenge of deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments by building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems.
Requirements
- Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, torque drivers, and basic machine-shop tools.
- Ability to read and follow wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and assembly instructions.
- Experience building wire harnesses and working with low-voltage electrical systems.
- Familiarity with embedded compute systems, sensors, or robotics hardware.
- Experience working with perception systems such as LiDAR, cameras, radar, or IMUs.
- Familiarity with Linux, ROS2, or embedded system bring-up workflows.
- Soldering, crimping, or IPC-certified workmanship skills.
Responsibilities
- Assemble perception payloads including LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, GPS receivers, and auxiliary sensors using engineering drawings and build instructions.
- Install and integrate CPU/GPU compute modules, carrier boards, and microcontroller-based subsystems.
- Build and route wire harnesses for power, high-speed data, synchronization, and control.
- Perform continuity checks, grounding/EMI checks, and power-rail validation.
- Assist in bring-up of Linux- or ROS2-based embedded compute systems.
- Validate communication links across Ethernet, USB, CAN, GMSL, and other interfaces.
- Run functional tests including sensor bring-up, calibration checks, compute boot/health tests, and network verification.
Other
- 2+ years of hands-on technician experience in robotics, aerospace, electronics, automotive, or related electro-mechanical assembly environments.
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work in workshop, lab, or field environments.
- Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and ability to deliver reliable assemblies.
- Ability to work closely with engineers to improve build processes and increase system reliability.
- Ability to design or suggest simple fixtures or jigs to improve assembly and repeatability.
