1.62 Machine learning Engineer

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.

About the Job

As an ML Engineer at Field AI, you will help build the next‑generation Field Foundation Model (FFM), powering a global fleet of autonomous robots deployed across diverse environments. Your contributions will directly shape how we scale—through advances in model architecture, training methodologies, and deployment strategies. You’ll collaborate closely with machine learning scientists, software engineers, and robotics experts to design and implement FFM capabilities that generalize across tasks and environments. Beyond model development, you’ll also support deployment and monitoring to ensure smooth integration and reliable real‑world performance. This role offers the opportunity to work with cutting‑edge technologies, solve complex challenges, and directly impact large‑scale robot deployments.

What You’ll Get To Do

• Design, train, and deploy state‑of‑the‑art machine learning models for end‑to‑end learning‑based navigation stack
• Work with deep learning architectures such as transformers, convolutional networks to capture complex decision making
• Leverage imitation learning and reinforcement learning to advance planning and reasoning of our models
• Explore novel data generation and collection pipelines to enrich training datasets
• Assist with deploying machine learning models into production environments
• Continuously monitor models in production, detecting model drift, and automating retraining processes as applicable
• Troubleshoot issues related to model deployment, performance, and system integration

The Extras That Set You Apart

Compensation and Benefits

Our salary range is generous ($70,000 - $200,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. Also, while we enjoy being together on‑site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

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 Revolution

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.

We Celebrate Diversity

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
