About the role

focuses on both development (research, design, prototyping, testing) and operations (production, testing, QA, debugging).

The Hardware Team at Field AI develops perception and compute payloads that power autonomous robotics systems in complex real world environments.
The team focuses on both development (research, design, prototyping, testing) and operations (production, testing, QA, debugging).
Electrical System Design
Design regulated power systems including voltage rails, DC/DC converters, switches, fuses, and grounding schemes.
Design and document robust wire harnesses for power and data lines, including shielding, strain relief, and standard connectors.
Create PCBs for power distribution, protocol bridging, and embedded control.
Collaborate with sensor, compute, and mechanical teams to ensure end-to-end system compatibility and robustness.
Develop QA checks for incoming units.
Hands-on design and integration of custom wire harnesses for robotics or automotive-style systems.

Proficiency in PCB schematic and layout using KiCAD, Altium, or equivalent tools.
Familiarity with USB, Ethernet, CAN, I2C, GMSL, and wireless technologies.

Scaling: Experience taking systems from prototype to large scale production.
Deployed Robotics: Experience working on robotics deployed in real world settings such as autonomous vehicles, drones, or ruggedized robots.
Systems Level Robotics: Fluency across electrical, mechanical, and software systems.
Why Join Field AI?
Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance.
Skills using electrical test tools including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and EMI/EMC setups.

Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

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.

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.
1) core capabilities, 2) system reliability, 3) system scalability.
As a growing team we are also building operational systems and procedures from the ground up.
We are recruiting across a wide range of experience levels from entry level engineers to senior and staff engineers.
We are headquartered in always-sunny Irvine, Southern California and have US based and global teammates.
Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
