As of Jul 31, 2026, the average hourly pay for perception engineer remote in the United States is $55.99, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $40.14 and $74.52 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What does a Perception Engineer do?

A Perception Engineer designs and implements systems that allow machines, such as autonomous vehicles or robots, to interpret and understand their environment using sensors like cameras, LiDAR, or radar. They develop algorithms for object detection, classification, and tracking to enable real-time decision-making. Perception Engineers often work with machine learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion technologies to improve the accuracy and reliability of these systems. Working remotely, they collaborate with cross-functional teams using online tools and platforms. This role is critical in advancing autonomous systems and robotics.

What are some common challenges Perception Engineers face when working remotely, and how can they be addressed?

Perception Engineers working remotely often encounter challenges such as limited access to physical hardware (e.g., sensors, robots, or vehicles) for testing algorithms, and difficulties in real-time collaboration with team members across different time zones. To address these issues, many remote teams rely on advanced simulation tools, cloud-based platforms for data sharing, and regular virtual meetings to ensure alignment. Building strong communication habits and leveraging remote debugging tools can also help maintain productivity and foster effective teamwork.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Perception Engineer (Remote), and why are they important?

To thrive as a Perception Engineer (Remote), you need a strong background in computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion, typically supported by a degree in computer science, robotics, or a related field. Proficiency in programming languages like Python and C++, experience with frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, and familiarity with tools like ROS are commonly required. Excellent problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to work independently are vital soft skills for remote collaboration. These competencies are crucial for developing robust perception systems that enable autonomous technologies to interpret and interact with their environment accurately.

What is the difference between Perception Engineer Remote vs Computer Vision Engineer?

AspectPerception Engineer RemoteComputer Vision Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in CS, Electrical Engineering, or related; experience with perception algorithmsBachelor's or higher in CS, Electrical Engineering, or related; strong programming skills in Python/C++
Work EnvironmentRemote, collaborative teams, often in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or AIRemote or on-site, working on image processing, object detection, and visual data analysis
Industry UsageAutonomous vehicles, robotics, AI startupsAutomotive, robotics, surveillance, and AI research

While both roles focus on perception and visual data, Perception Engineers Remote typically work on sensor data integration and perception algorithms in autonomous systems remotely, whereas Computer Vision Engineers focus more broadly on image processing and visual data analysis, often in research or product development settings.

1.5 Robotics AI Engineer - Field Foundation Models & Dynamics Foundation Models

FieldAI

Irvine, CA โ€ข On-site, Remote

$70K - $300K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 14 days ago


Job description

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.

Are you driven by the challenge of building next-generation AI-powered robotics? Do you thrive at the intersection of advanced autonomy, real-world deployment, and AI-native decision-making? We are seeking a Robotics AI Engineer – Field Foundation Models & Dynamics Foundation Models to push the boundaries of risk-aware, self-evolving robotic intelligence. In this role, you will design, develop, and implement cutting-edge AI-driven planning and control architectures, ensuring our robots operate seamlessly in unstructured, high-stakes environments. This is your opportunity to redefine the future of embodied AI, working alongside a world-class team that values bold innovation, hands-on execution, and AI-first engineering. If you're eager to build autonomy that adapts, learns, and makes decisions with intelligence beyond traditional models, we want to hear from you!
What You Will Get To Do
  • Algorithm Development
  • Design and implement next-generation AI-powered Field Foundation Models (FFMs) and Dynamics Foundation Models (DFMs). Pioneer risk-aware, uncertainty-driven decision-making architectures that enable autonomous robots to navigate unstructured, high-stakes environments.
  • Reimagine planning algorithms, trajectory optimization, and task scheduling as a fusion of probabilistic reasoning, geometric intelligence, and adaptive AI, ensuring precise and reliable robot motion in dynamic environments.
 
  • Software Integration and Testing
  • Work extensively with ROS (Robot Operating System) to develop, test, and integrate next-gen autonomous intelligence modules modules.
  • Design, implement, and test real-world and simulation- learning loops, where self-evolving models refine planning, control, and perception through real-world interaction. Conduct field tests to validate performance and optimize system behavior.
 
  • Hands-On Robotics Deployment
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to ensure seamless software-hardware integration.
  • Travel to customer sites to deploy, calibrate, and fine-tune robotic systems in diverse and challenging real-world conditions.
 
  • Cross-Team Collaboration
  • Work closely with other engineering teams to align development efforts and achieve cohesive system performanc
  • Communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders to explain robotic capabilities and project progress.
What You Have
  • Strong programming skills: Proficiency in Python and C++ for algorithm development and system integration. 
  • Proficiency in ROS (Robot Operating System): Experience developing and integrating robotic software solutions.
  • Hands-On Robotics Experience: Practical experience working with autonomous robotic systems, including testing and deployment in the field.
  • Understanding of Planning and Controls: Solid knowledge of path planning, control theory, and trajectory optimization.
  • Ability and availability to travel: Ability and eagerness to travel to customer sites for deployments, testing, and troubleshooting (up to 30% travel).
  • Excellent Communication Skills: Ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
What Will Set You Apart
  • Experience with GPU programming (CUDA C++, PyTorch) a significant plus.
  • Experience with real-time systems or robotics middleware.
  • Familiarity with sensor integration and perception algorithms.
  • Knowledge of machine learning techniques applied to robotics.
  • Exposure to industrial robotics applications in sectors like construction, mining, or manufacturing.
  • Experience working in harsh or outdoor environments.
  • Experience working with humanoid or legged robots.
  • Advanced degree (Bachelors, Master’s) in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Understanding of safety standards and compliance in robotics.
Compensation and Benefits
Our salary range is between ($70,000 - $300,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.  Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

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.
