Field AIis transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.
We are looking for a Verification and Validation Software Engineer to own the quality bar for Field AI’s off-road autonomy, legged, and humanoid robotics stacks—designing strategy, building tooling, and shipping the evidence that proves we’re safe and ready for the real world. You’ll implement scalable scenario-based testing (SIL/HIL + high-fidelity simulation), stand up CI pipelines and metrics that catch regressions early, and lead structured field validations where the terrain is messy and the stakes are real. Day to day, you’ll partner with perception, planning, controls, and hardware to define clear entry/exit criteria, instrument systems for truth, and turn logs into actionable insights that raise reliability every week. If you love breaking things so customers don’t have to, care deeply about measurable safety, and want your rigor to translate into robots that confidently tackle the world, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Get To Do:
Own end-to-end V&V for autonomy stacks
Define test strategies for perception, planning, and control across vehicle and robot platforms
Build SIL/HIL pipelines for continuous regression and performance tracking
Establish entry/exit criteria, traceability, and sign-off gates
Tooling you can show: log diff/visualization tools, test dashboards, scenario libraries
Field test operations in challenging environments; strong safety discipline and test readiness reviews
Compensation and Benefits
Our salary range is generous ($70,000 - $200,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.
Why Join Field AI?
We are solving one of the world’s most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.
You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.
Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.
We are headquartered in always-sunny Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California and have US based and global teammates.
Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
