Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Field Ai as an employer.

What you need

  • B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Physics, or a related field
  • Hands-on work with perception sensors such as LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, GPS
  • Cross-functional collaboration experience across electrical, mechanical, and software teams
  • Strong foundation in optics, signal processing, and electromagnetic wave propagation
  • Hands-on testing, calibration, and debugging skills
  • Experience with protocols such as USB, Ethernet, GMSL, CAN, I2C, and CSI

Nice to have

  • 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
  • Fluency across software, electrical, and mechanical systems
  • Knowledge of autonomy stacks used in robotics

Worth weighing

  • No specific salary figures provided, only a general statement about compensation being generous based on experience
  • The role involves working in a fast-moving team, which may imply a dynamic and potentially high-pressure environment
  • Focus on real-world deployments suggests a practical, hands-on role that may not involve traditional software development practices
