Systems Engineer, Robotics Hardware, Large Wheeled Platforms
Job description
The Hardware Team at FieldAI develops perception and compute payloads that power autonomous robotics systems in complex real world environments. Our work spans the full hardware stack — designing and integrating sensing systems (LiDAR, camera, TOF, IMU, GPS), embedded compute (CPUs, GPUs, microcontrollers, Linux, ROS), electrical systems (power distribution, communication), and mechanical components (structures, thermal regulation, ingress protection). The team focuses on both development (research, design, prototyping, testing) and operations (production, testing, QA, debugging).
As a Systems Engineer for Large Wheeled Platforms on the Hardware Team at FieldAI, you will bring new large…
Job requirements
- Education: B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Experience Level: We are looking to fill this role with someone with 1-5 years of experience.
- Software: Hands-on experience with middleware (ROS/ROS2) and computing languages (python, C++).
- Robotics Software Generalist: Strong generalist robotics software background spanning controls, navigation, and systems integration across legged and wheeled platforms.
- Sim-to-Real Experience: Comfort working across the sim-to-real gap, validating RL or autonomy policies from simulation (Isaac, Gazebo, MuJoCo) on physical hardware.
- Cross Functional Hardware Knowledge: Working familiarity with motors, actuation, BLDC motor controllers, and power distribution or electrical systems.
- Communication Protocols: Familiarity with CAN bus, EtherCAT, or similar real-time robotics communication protocols.
- Systems Thinking: Ability to work across mechanical, electrical, controls, and autonomy domains to make integrated systems function reliably on real hardware.
