3D/AR/VR Software Engineer

What You Will Get To Do

Set Research Vision and Strategy
• Define and execute the robotics AI research roadmap in alignment with FieldAI’s mission and product goals.
• Identify emerging research directions, tools, and techniques across robotics, embodied AI, and machine learning.
• Establish clear technical goals, milestones, and success metrics tied to real-world robot performance.
Design and Implement Interactive Workflows in AR/VR
• Design and implement intuitive 3D workflows for supervising, manipulating, and controlling humanoid robots in AR/VR.
• Build interaction techniques for spatial input, visualization, teleoperation, task specification, and robot feedback.
• Prototype, evaluate, and iterate on new interaction concepts through user studies and deployment on real robotic systems.
Integrate the UI with the Robot
• Integrate AR/VR applications with robot perception, planning, manipulation, locomotion, and control systems.
• Build robust interfaces for exchanging commands, state, sensor data, and 3D scene representations between robots and user-facing applications.
• Debug and optimize end-to-end system behavior across headsets, networks, compute infrastructure, and robotic hardware.
Deploy and Support Systems in the Real World
• Turn research prototypes into reliable, maintainable applications that can be deployed and operated on real robots.
• Develop tooling, testing, monitoring, and deployment workflows that support repeatable operation across robots and environments.
• Diagnose failures in the field and continuously improve system performance, reliability, usability, and robustness.
Collaborate Across Disciplines
• Work closely with researchers and engineers across perception, planning, control, manipulation, and hardware.
• Translate new robotic capabilities into user-facing workflows and identify interface requirements that inform system design.
• Contribute to technical design discussions, code reviews, experimentation, and the development of software infrastructure.
