Full Job Description
## Description Who are We? Field AIis 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. Learn more at https://fieldai.com. About the Job At FieldAI, we’re building autonomy for robots that operate in the real world, in harsh environments, and under challenging conditions where traditional sensing breaks down. We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Perception Engineer to own and advance perception capabilities for our federal autonomy programs. In this role, you will lead development of the perception stack for robots operating in unstructured terrains, taking responsibility for performance, robustness, and deployment on new platforms and sensor configurations. You’ll work hands-on across software and hardware for integrating LiDAR, RADAR and multispectral, and sensing into production autonomy systems and delivering capabilities that directly support customers. What You Will Do 1. Build and Maintain Perception Systems Design, implement, and maintain perception systems for autonomous robots operating in real-world environments. Develop robust localization and mapping capabilities that perform reliably in unstructured, off-road, and field conditions. Continuously evaluate and improve perception performance through testing, iteration, and field validation. 2. Develop and Integrate Sensor-Based Perception Implement perception algorithms that fuse data from multiple sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, RADAR and inertial sensors. Support the integration of new sensing modalities and sensor configurations as robotic platforms evolve. Ensure perception software
