Software Engineer, Mapping and Robotics Systems

IrvineOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Industry-focused software engineer role specializing in mapping, localization, and point-cloud processing for robotics deployments. Develops SLAM, registration, and scan-matching pipelines and optimizes performance for field robotics.

About this role

FieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.
