2.95 Software Engineering Intern: Quality Assurance

FieldAI
Irvine, CA Intern
POSTED ON 11/16/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/1/2026

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 passionate and detail-driven Software QA Intern to help validate the software that powers our robotic systems. As part of our Integration and Testing team, you'll be hands-on with real-time systems, embedded firmware, simulation environments, and robotics platforms. This is an opportunity to shape the reliability and safety of cutting-edge autonomous technologies.


What You Will Get To Do
  • Design and execute manual and automated test plans across robotics and data systems
  • Run and monitor tests in both simulation environments and physical robotics testbeds
  • Log, document, and track bugs and anomalies
  • Contribute to test automation frameworks for continuous integration (CI) pipelines and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
  • Analyze logs, telemetry, and performance metrics from robot runs to identify systemic issues
  • Ensure software updates do not regress key motion planning, perception, or control behaviors


What You Have
  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
  • Familiarity with core software testing concepts, especially for systems that combine hardware and software
  • Basic programming or scripting knowledge in Python, C , or Bash
  • Exposure to ROS (Robot Operating System) or other robotics middleware is a strong plus
  • Comfortable working in Linux-based development environments
  • Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and curiosity to learn from failures


What Will Set You Apart
  • Experience with ROS-based simulation or testing tools (e.g., rostest, rosbag analysis)
  • Familiarity with test automation tools such as gtest and pytest
  • Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
  • Prior experience working on robotics projects
  • Interest in real-world deployment scenarios where safety, latency, and robustness are critical



Compensation

Our salary range is generous, but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on degree, skills, and experience. 


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 Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), 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!
