The Software Engineer, Test Infrastructure will design and develop scalable test infrastructure, improve software quality, and automate testing processes for robotics platforms.
The summary above was generated by AI
FieldAI’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.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer, Test Infrastructure to build and scale the systems that ensure the reliability of FieldAI’s robotics platform.

In this role, you will design and develop the infrastructure, tools, and automation that power testing across simulation and real-world environments. You’ll work closely with robotics, ML, and infrastructure teams to improve software quality, reduce manual testing, and increase confidence in every release.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable test infrastructure and automation systems

  • Develop frameworks for unit, integration, and system-level testing

  • Improve reliability and coverage across simulation and real-world validation workflows

  • Build tools to support debugging, test orchestration, and failure analysis

  • Partner with engineering teams to identify gaps in testing and improve quality

  • Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows

  • Improve test reliability, reduce flakiness, and increase signal from test systems

What You Bring:

  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering, test infrastructure, or automation roles

  • Strong programming skills in Python

  • Experience building testing frameworks, tools, or developer-facing systems

  • Familiarity with Linux-based development environments

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

  • Experience working closely with engineering teams on system quality

What Will Set You Apart:

  • Experience testing robotics, distributed systems, or infrastructure platforms

  • Familiarity with simulation environments or system-level validation

  • Experience with CI/CD systems and large-scale test automation

  • Experience with containerization (e.g., Docker)

  • Exposure to hardware-software integrated systems

Our salary range is generous and we consider each individual’s background and experience when determining final compensation. Base pay may vary based on role scope, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and the Irvine, California market.

Why Join FieldAI in Irvine?
In Irvine, you will work where the robots are. Our local team builds and tests systems on real hardware with real sensors, then ships them to operate in unstructured, previously unknown environments around the world. We are solving one of robotics’ hardest challenges: reliable deployment outside the lab. Our Field Foundational Models™ raise the bar for perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, with an emphasis on explainability and safety for real-world use.
You will collaborate with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. We bring deep experience from organizations such as DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, along with a track record of field deployments and strong performance in DARPA challenge segments.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
We are looking for builders who want their work to leave the whiteboard and show up on robots. If you enjoy tackling tough, uncharted questions and working across disciplines, you will find your people here. Our teams span AI, software, robotics engineering, product, field deployment, and technical communication, all focused on shipping systems that perform in the real world.

Our headquarters is in Irvine, and we partner closely with teams there as well as colleagues across the US and around the world. Join us in Southern California and help define what dependable, field-ready autonomy looks like.

We value diverse perspectives and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace. We evaluate candidates and employees based on merit, qualifications, and performance, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected statu

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
