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. We are looking for a Project Manager, Robotics Deployment to keep our field deployments on schedule and on plan. You will build and maintain the project plans for deploying Field AI systems — including drones, quadrupeds, and humanoids — at customer sites, coordinate the engineers and operations staff who execute them, and be the person who knows the status of every workstream at any moment. You'll interface directly with the customer and work alongside Field Application Engineers, hardware and software teams, and operations staff. This is a strong role for someone with a technical foundation who wants to grow into program ownership: you don't need to debug a robot yourself, but you do need to understand what broke, who fixes it, and what it does to the schedule. This role is based in Singapore with occasional international travel. What You'll Do Project Planning & Tracking - Build and maintain project plans for assigned deployments — tasks, owners, dates, dependencies, and readiness criteria - Track progress against milestones and keep the plan current as conditions change in the field - Maintain the issue and risk log for each deployment, escalating blockers to the deployment lead with context and options - Prepare status reports, milestone readouts, and metrics summaries for internal and customer stakeholders - Run recurring project meetings: agendas, notes, decisions, action items, and follow-through to closure Deployment Execution Support - Coordinate the logistics that make a deployment happen — equipment shipments, spares, tooling, site access, badging, safety documentation, and customer scheduling - Support commissioning, field testing, and validation activities on site, capturing results against test plans and acceptance criteria - Triage issues raised in the field: reproduce and document the problem, route it to the right engineering owner, and drive it to resolution - Track open defects and customer requests through to closure, keeping the customer informed of status Cross-Functional Coordination - Coordinate across Software, Hardware, Robotics, Product, and Customer Success to confirm commitments and surface conflicts early - Keep the deployment lead and engineering owners aligned on what's due, what's late, and what's at risk - Capture customer feedback and deployment learnings in a structured form the product and engineering teams can act on Documentation & Process - Maintain deployment playbooks, checklists, standard operating procedures, and post-deployment retrospectives - Keep project documentation and shared workspaces organized, current, and usable by the next person who runs the same deployment - Identify recurring friction in the deployment process and propose improvements What You Bring Experience & Background - 2–4 years of experience in project coordination, project management, technical operations, field operations, or a similar role supporting complex technical work - Experience running projects with multiple stakeholders and moving dates, in an environment where plans change frequently - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Business, or a related field - Strong Experience in a customer-facing or on-site setting is strongly preferred Skills & Competencies - Strong organizational skills and clear written communication: status updates, meeting notes, and issue write-ups that people actually read - Comfortable working with planning and tracking tools such as Jira, or MS Project - Able to hold engineers to commitments without authority over them, and to escalate constructively when that isn't enough - Calm and resourceful in dynamic field conditions, where the schedule meets weather, site access, and hardware reality - Comfortable working on site in industrial environments, including PPE requirements and site safety protocols Industry & Technical Knowledge - Enough technical literacy to follow discussions about robotic systems, sensors, networking, and Linux-based environments, and to summarize them accurately for others - Exposure to robotics, autonomous systems, drones, or industrial automation is highly advantageous - Familiarity with industrial customer environments — manufacturing, construction, mining, or energy — is a plus - PMP or Scrum certification is a plus, not a requirement - Basic scripting or data skills (Python, SQL, spreadsheets beyond the basics) for building status reporting are a plus Compensation and Benefits 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 Irvine, 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, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
