## Description

FieldAI 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., * Develop and optimize point cloud processing pipelines, including registration, denoising, normal estimation, segmentation, and primitive extraction

 * Design efficient algorithms for large-scale, unstructured 3D datasets with attention to memory and runtime performance
 * Implement production-grade computational geometry and linear algebra in C++ and Python
 * Solve complex reconstruction challenges such as loop closure, global consistency, and multi-view fusion
 * Evaluate and integrate emerging 3D vision methods (e.g., neural implicit representations, advanced meshing techniques)
 * Partner with platform teams to ensure scalable, efficient deployment of algorithms
