Staff Specialist Field Engineer, Autonomous Vehicles

Role description

Role Overview

The Staff Specialist Field Engineer will establish and lead the Autonomous Vehicles vertical, defining how the team engages with customers, setting technical standards, and leading complex customer engagements.

What You Will Do

You will work across CoreWeave's AI platform to design and deploy solutions, build customer-facing applications, and gather signals from real customer deployments to inform development of standalone capabilities.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will be equally comfortable discussing perception algorithm design and system safety architecture, and you want to build AI solutions deployed in real engineering environments.
