1.65 Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer
Field AI • USFieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.
Who are We?
Field AI is 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.

About the Job
Our Field Foundation Model (FFM) powers a global fleet of autonomous robots that capture massive streams of multimodal data across diverse, dynamic environments every day. As part of the Insight Team our mission is to transform this raw, multimodal data into actionable insights that empower our customers and engineers to deliver value. Field-insight Foundation Model (FiFM) is at the core of how we transform multimodal data from autonomous robots into actionable insights. As a Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer, you will own the infrastructure that powers FiFM, from model hosting and distributed training pipelines to data systems, observability, and security.This is a role at the intersection of systems engineering and machine learning. You’ll design and operate large-scale ML platforms, ensure FiFM transitions smoothly from research into production, and optimize for both performance and cost across cloud and edge. In addition to building core infrastructure, you’ll play a leadership role by mentoring junior engineers, setting technical direction, and raising the engineering bar across the team.
