1.12 Senior AI Software Engineer — Edge Model Optimization & Deployment
2 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. 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 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. What You’ll Get To Do:
Design, implement, and optimize 2D/3D CNN and Transformer-based models for deployment on edge and embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) Apply model compression techniques such as quantization, pruning, distillation, and weight sharing to achieve efficient real-time inference under strict constraints on power, bandwidth, and latency Convert, compile, and optimize neural networks for runtime using
TensorRT ,
ONNX ,
CUDA , and
C++ Develop and maintain
ROS
nodes and interfaces that integrate perception models with the broader robotic system Collaborate closely with AI researchers, robotics engineers, and hardware teams to translate cutting-edge research into deployable solutions on edge devices Build benchmarks, profile and debug runtime issues, and validate performance against real-world scenarios Ensure the reliability, robustness, and stability of deployed models operating in challenging, resource-constrained environments
What You Have:
3+ years of professional experience
in developing and deploying deep learning models for edge, embedded, or real-time systems BS, MS, PhD, or equivalent in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field Strong proficiency in
PyTorch ,
C++ ,
Python , and
CUDA
for AI/ML development and model optimization Hands-on experience with
TensorRT ,
ONNX ,
TVM , or similar toolchains and compilers for edge deployment Proven track record applying model optimization techniques (quantization, pruning, distillation) Deep understanding of hardware limitations and performance tuning for
Jetson ,
ARM , GPUs, or other embedded platforms Experience integrating AI models into
ROS -based robotic systems Skilled in profiling and debugging GPU workloads, with familiarity using tools like
Nsight
or
CUPTI Ability to work independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, iterative environment
The Extras That Set You Apart:
Familiarity with
JAX
or additional ML frameworks beyond PyTorch Experience with compiler-level optimizations for GPU inference Background in deploying AI solutions for real-time robotics operating in the field
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! We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, martial status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
