Technical Program Manager, Engineering & Delivery

Field AI
Irvine, CA
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. This role is a hands-on engineering position where you will architect solutions that directly improve how every engineer at FieldAI ships software.

Requirements

  • Architect and implement engineering workflow improvements that measurably reduce bug cycle time — from issue identification through triage, assignment, and resolution
  • Redesign and consolidate our Jira project architecture into a unified workspace that eliminates fragmentation, improves cross-team visibility, and reduces overhead for engineers
  • Design and build triage and routing systems, automation, and integrations that remove manual friction from how issues move through the organization
  • Establish engineering-led delivery practices — work decomposition standards, estimation frameworks, and definition-of-done criteria — that make project execution more predictable without adding unnecessary process
  • Design lightweight systems that give engineering leadership accurate, real-time visibility into progress, risk, and capacity
  • Identify and remove structural bottlenecks in how work flows from planning through delivery, diagnosing root causes rather than treating symptoms
  • Build and implement end-to-end toolchain integrations that create traceability from product intent through engineering work, QA validation, and field outcomes
  • Define engineering-owned interfaces and contracts between functions — establishing clear, enforceable definitions of what'ready for engineering,''ready for QA,' and'ready for field' actually mean
  • Evaluate, select, and integrate tooling that gives each function appropriate visibility without requiring manual synchronization or status reporting

Benefits

  • Generous salary
  • Opportunity to work with a world-class team
  • Chance to work on a complex and ambitious project
  • Flexible work environment
  • Professional development opportunities
