Research Scientist Intern, Robot Learning & Manipulation (Spring, Summer & Fall 2027) | Master’s & PhD Internship

FieldAI is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. We build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle challenging robotics problems and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. Our approach combines frontier research with rigorous engineering, connecting advances in robot learning with the demands of physical systems operating in unpredictable environments. About the Internship We are offering spring, summer, and fall 2027 research internships in the Irvine office for master’s and PhD students advancing robotic manipulation. You will investigate how robots can perform useful physical tasks reliably across diverse objects, environments, and robot platforms. Working closely with researchers and engineers, you will own a focused research project and help translate promising ideas into capabilities that can be tested on hardware and improved through real deployment experience. Research directions and methods will be shaped by your expertise and the problems we encounter in the field. The goal is to produce original research with measurable impact on what our robots can accomplish. What We Offer Real deployment problems: Work on manipulation challenges grounded in customer use cases and operational needs, with opportunities to evaluate beyond controlled laboratory settings. Physical robots and hardware: Develop and validate your work on robotic systems, including humanoids, mobile manipulators, and arm-equipped quadrupeds
