FieldAI 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
FieldAI is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead the engineering organization responsible for scaling our autonomous robotics platform from early deployments to large-scale, sustained field operations. This role works across software platforms and application engineering to ensure our robots, tools, and infrastructure are designed, tested, released, and operated with the rigor required for real-world autonomy at scale. You will partner closely with product, robotics, autonomy, and field operations leadership to align technical execution with a deployment-driven roadmap. This role blends technical depth, organizational leadership, and operational discipline, with a strong emphasis on reliability, repeatability, and system maturity.
