Test & Reliability Engineer, Robotics Hardware

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.

As a Test & Reliability Engineer on the Hardware Team at Field AI, you will build out our testing and quality control infrastructure across mechanical, electrical, embedded, and sensor systems. Your work ensures hardware is ready to ship and holds up reliably in diverse, challenging field environments such as construction, energy, and mining. 

You will partner with engineers throughout the design process to ensure systems meet requirements, develop the tests that validate them before deployment, as well as identify and mitigate issues with the deployed fleet. You may also work across multiple embodiments, including quadrupeds, humanoids, and wheeled platforms.

• Scaling: Experience taking systems from prototype to large scale production.

• Field Environments: Experience developing and testing systems for harsh, diverse industrial field environments such as construction, energy, and mining, across global deployments.

• Deployed Robotics: Experience working on robotics deployed in real world settings such as autonomous vehicles, drones, or ruggedized robots, spanning wheeled, quadruped, or humanoid embodiments.

• Systems Level Robotics: Fluency across mechanical, electrical, and software systems.

• Reliability Engineering: Background in functional safety compliance (ISO 26262, SIL), MTBF/MTTR reliability metrics, fleet maintenance and health monitoring, RMA/failure analysis, and building a test or quality function from the ground up.
