About the role
FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. Our growing R&D team is based in Boston, where we develop risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. We take a pragmatic approach that goes beyond off-the-shelf, purely data-driven methods or transformer-only architectures, combining cutting-edge research with real-world deployment. Our solutions are already deployed globally, and we continuously improve model performance through rapid iteration driven by real field use. FieldAI is seeking a Software/Research Engineer to help build the learning systems that power our next generation of humanoid robots. You'll work across whole-body loco-manipulation, reinforcement learning, motion retargeting, and real-world robot deployment, turning new research and technical developments into reliable capabilities on physical humanoids. This is a highly hands-on role for someone excited about closing the loop between research, simulation, and robots operating in the real world.
