About Us

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.

Manufacturing Engineer, Robotics Hardware

The Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving assembly and manufacturing processes for Field AI products. This individual will serve as the bridge between Engineering and Manufacturing, ensuring products are designed for manufacturability, assembly, testability, and long-term scalability.

The ideal candidate is highly hands-on, thrives in fast-paced hardware development environments, and has experience bringing complex electromechanical products from prototype through production. This role will play a critical part in improving product yields, reducing assembly complexity, establishing quality standards, and developing functional test strategies that ensure reliable field performance.

What You Will Get To Do

1. Manufacturing Process Ownership

  • Own the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of assembly processes for robotic systems, payloads, and subassemblies.
  • Create and maintain manufacturing work instructions, assembly procedures, process flows, and build documentation.
  • Design assembly workflows that optimize throughput, quality, ergonomics, and repeatability.
  • Lead manufacturing readiness activities for prototype, pilot, and production builds.
  • Support contract manufacturers and internal production teams with process development and troubleshooting.

2. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Design for Assembly (DFA)

  • Partner closely with Mechanical, Electrical, and Systems Engineering teams during product development.
  • Drive DFM and DFA reviews throughout the product lifecycle to reduce manufacturing complexity, cost, and assembly time.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify assemblies, reduce part count, improve tolerance stack-ups, and increase manufacturability.
  • Provide feedback on component selection, fabrication methods, and assembly approaches to improve product robustness and scalability.

3. Yield Improvement & Production Support

  • Establish manufacturing KPIs and yield tracking systems.
  • Analyze production data to identify root causes of defects, failures, and inefficiencies.
  • Lead failure analysis and corrective action (FACA) initiatives to improve process capability and product quality.
  • Drive continuous improvement projects focused on yield, cycle time, labor efficiency, and cost reduction.

4. Quality & Test Development

  • Define manufacturing quality requirements and inspection strategies for components, assemblies, and finished products.
  • Develop acceptance criteria, inspection plans, and quality checkpoints throughout the manufacturing process.
  • Establish functional test requirements and validation procedures for payloads, subsystems, and completed systems.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Quality teams to develop automated and semi-automated test solutions where appropriate.
  • Ensure manufacturing processes consistently produce products that meet performance and reliability requirements.

5. Tooling, Fixtures & Automation

  • Design and implement assembly fixtures, tooling, and manufacturing aids to improve consistency and efficiency.
  • Evaluate opportunities for automation and process optimization.
  • Develop calibration and maintenance requirements for manufacturing equipment and test stations.
  • Ensure production tools and fixtures are documented and controlled.

What You Have

  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of manufacturing engineering experience supporting complex hardware products.
  • Strong experience with DFM, DFA, process development, and production support.
  • Experience developing assembly processes for electromechanical systems.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing quality systems, root cause analysis, and process control methodologies.
  • Experience creating manufacturing documentation, work instructions, and process validation plans.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision making.

What Will Set You Apart

  • Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment, or similar industries.
  • Experience supporting products from prototype through scaled production.
  • Familiarity with PCBAs, wiring harnesses, sensors, motors, actuators, and precision mechanical assemblies.
  • Experience developing production test equipment and functional test procedures.
  • Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, SPC, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma methodologies.
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers and external production partners

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
