Robotics Autonomy Engineer - Locomotion

Robotics Autonomy Engineer – Locomotion

Field AI is building the future of autonomy—from rugged terrain to real‑world deployment. We’re on a mission to develop intelligent, adaptable robotic systems that operate beyond simulation and thrive in unpredictable environments.

As a Robotics Autonomy Engineer – Locomotion, you will lead the development and deployment of state‑of‑the‑art reinforcement learning‑based controllers for legged and humanoid robots. You will be part of a deeply technical team advancing real‑world robotic capabilities through cutting‑edge research, simulation tools, and field validation.

Your core responsibilities will include:

• Design, implement, and field‑test locomotion control algorithms.
• Collaborate with simulation and hardware teams to integrate control solutions.
• Analyze performance metrics and iteratively refine models to meet safety and robustness requirements.

Our salary range is generous and takes into account individual background and experience. Base pay will vary based on geographic location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Location:

Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California (US‑based and global teammates).
