FieldAI robots reconstruct and interact with the physical world to unprecedented levels. This asks for an unprecedented user experience. Therefore, we are hiring a 3D/AR/VR Software Engineer in support of our humanoid UI/UX team.
In this role, you will implement, integrate, maintain, and support AR/VR applications that enable supervision, manipulation, and locomotion capabilities for humanoid robots. You will help turn new robotic capabilities into reliable, maintainable, user-facing systems that can be deployed, evaluated, and operated on real robots. Your work will span design, prototyping, UI implementation, and robot integration, user-study-based evaluation. You will draw on your expertise on input and interaction design, rendering, to build innovative 3D interfaces for robotics.
What You Will Get To Do
- 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 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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
