Description
FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. Our growing R&D team is based in Boston, where we develop risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. We take a pragmatic approach that goes beyond off-the-shelf, purely data-driven methods or transformer-only architectures, combining cutting-edge research with real-world deployment. Our solutions are already deployed globally, and we continuously improve model performance through rapid iteration driven by real field use. We are looking for a Research Engineer to join our growing humanoid manipulation efforts. In this role, you will work at the intersection of robotics research and applied engineering, building, testing, and refining manipulation capabilities that accelerate autonomous control and loco-manipulation on humanoid robots. You will collaborate closely with research scientists, engineers, and product partners to design novel manipulation strategies and deliver systems that directly feed into Field AI’s robot learning pipelines.   You will also play a key role in advancing robotics foundation models designed to be embodiment agnostic, with an initial focus on humanoid platforms. This role is about pushing the frontier of manipulation research while ensuring that breakthroughs translate into practical, scalable autonomy in real-world environments.
