What is a Remote Robotics Coordinator?

A Remote Robotics Coordinator is a professional responsible for overseeing the operation, management, and troubleshooting of robotic systems from a remote location. They coordinate teams, schedule maintenance, and ensure robots perform their tasks efficiently, often using specialized software and communication tools. This role may involve monitoring performance data, collaborating with engineers, and addressing technical issues without being physically present at the site. Remote Robotics Coordinators are increasingly important in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, where automation and robotics are widely used.

What is the difference between Remote Robotics Coordinator vs Remote Robotics Technician?

AspectRemote Robotics CoordinatorRemote Robotics Technician
CredentialsTypically requires a bachelor's degree in robotics, engineering, or related fieldOften requires technical certifications or associate degree in robotics or electronics
Work EnvironmentOversees projects remotely, collaborates with teams, manages schedulesPerforms hands-on troubleshooting, maintenance, and repairs remotely or on-site
Industry UsageUsed in industries like manufacturing, research, and automationCommon in manufacturing, logistics, and technical support roles

The Remote Robotics Coordinator primarily manages robotics projects and teams remotely, focusing on planning and oversight. In contrast, the Remote Robotics Technician handles technical tasks such as troubleshooting and repairs, often requiring more hands-on work. Both roles are essential in automation industries but differ in responsibilities and required credentials.

About the Job

Field AI is building the future of autonomy, from rugged terrain to real-world deployment. We are on a mission to develop intelligent, adaptable robotic systems that operate beyond simulation and thrive in unpredictable environments. 

As our Robotics Autonomy Engineer - Planning and Control, you will design, implement, and deploy advanced motion planning and control algorithms that enable our robots to move with precision, robustness, and efficiency across diverse environments. You will work on navigation, trajectory generation, and motion control for robotic platforms ranging from wheeled and legged systems to complex humanoid architectures. If enabling robots to navigate challenging, dynamic environments excites you, and you want to work where your code works in the physical world - this is your role. This is Field AI.

What You'll Get To Do

1. Develop Robust Motion Planning Algorithms

  • Design, develop, and refine motion and navigation planning algorithms for challenging real-world scenarios such as narrow passages, dynamic obstacles, and complex environments.

  • Design optimization-driven approaches for path and trajectory generation that ensure smooth, reliable, and efficient robot navigation across modalities.

  • Ensure scalability, reusability, and adaptability of planning approaches across diverse deployment contexts.

2. Advance Control and Planning Integration

  • Develop and tune control algorithms that ensure precise trajectory tracking and stable operation across different robotic systems.

  • Collaborate across autonomy layers to ensure seamless coordination between perception, planning, and control for robust real-world performance.

3. Validate and Test Across the Stack

  • Build and maintain testing pipelines from unit-level validation to full robot deployment.

  • Utilize simulation and testing environments for algorithm evaluation, benchmarking, and regression validation.

  • Analyze real-world telemetry to diagnose issues, identify improvements, and enhance algorithm robustness.

4. Diagnose and Improve Field Performance

  • Investigate and resolve issues arising from field deployments through structured data analysis and debugging.

  • Deliver targeted improvements that address specific challenges while maintaining general-case reliability and performance.

What You Have
  • Master's degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or a related field (PhD a plus).

  • Strong understanding of motion planning, trajectory generation, and control systems.

  • Experience developing algorithms for one or more robotic systems (wheeled, legged, wheeled-legged, humanoid).

  • Familiarity with motion planning libraries like OMPL, MoveIt, Nav2 stack etc

  • Solid programming skills in C++ and Python on Linux-based systems.

  • Familiarity with robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2.

  • Experience with robot sensors including LiDARs, stereo/depth cameras, IMUs, GPS, wheel encoders.

  • Ability to work on US government project

The Extras That Set You Apart
  • Exposure to real-world deployment of autonomous systems.

  • Background in optimization, control, or numerical methods for trajectory planning.

  • Familiarity with learning-based or hybrid planning approaches.

  • Contributions to open-source planning or control frameworks.

  • Familiarity with safety-critical autonomy and industrial robotics use cases.
