About the role
Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.
Step into the exciting world of autonomous robotics as our Teleoperation & Networking Engineer. In this role, you’ll own the design, implementation, and optimization of real-time teleoperation systems—everything from low-latency streaming and concurrency support to robust network switching for diverse conditions. You’ll collaborate with a passionate team committed to redefining how robots navigate the world, ensuring seamless remote control, and delivering critical data on demand. If you’re driven by the idea of pushing boundaries, innovating in real-time communication, and shaping next-generation autonomous solutions, this role is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact. This is where you get to take the reins, experiment boldly, and chart the course for the future of Field A. If you’re ready to jump into a high-impact position and see your work power real robots in real-world applications, we want you here!
Why Join Field AI?We are solving one of the world’s most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.
You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.
Be Part of the Next Robotics RevolutionTo tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who
