Robotics Software Engineer, Multimodal Inspection
Job description
Field AI — Robotics Software Engineer, Multimodal Inspection (Irvine, California).
Job responsibilities
- Develop inspection modalities beyond RGB, from sensing to insight, such as radiometric thermal, gas detection, and acoustic signatures.
- Fuse these modalities into the perception and mission pipeline.
- Implement sensing-based behavior activation.
- Deliver per-asset evidence and alerts into the data platform and on-prem flows.
- Analyze multimodal inspection performance across real-world deployments.
Job requirements
- MS in robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer science, or a related field, with 3+ years building sensing software for real robots.
- Strong C++ and Python, and ROS 2 experience integrating sensor drivers and real-time pipelines.
- Hands-on camera and thermal calibration, cross-modal registration, and the geometry to project detections between sensors and 3D.
- Experience with real-time constraints: latency budgets, dropout handling, and persisting data through network outages.
- A field mindset: you have debugged a sensor on a robot in a place with no desk.
