What You’ll Do

The Physical AI Field Engineering team at CoreWeave deploys AI solutions within enterprise engineering organisations, helping customers realise measurable value from machine learning applications. As we build our presence in Autonomous Vehicles (L4-5), we are seeking a Staff Specialist Field Engineer to establish and lead this vertical. You will define how the team engages with autonomous vehicle customers, set the technical standard for the practice, and lead complex customer engagements from first contact through to embedded deployment and expansion. This role requires genuine depth on both sides of the engagement: you must be credible to the ML engineers, perception researchers and system architects in the room, and capable of building and validating ML solutions independently using our product stack. You will work across CoreWeave’s AI platform (including Monolith, Marimo, and W&B Models) to design and deploy solutions and build customer-facing applications tailored to specific autonomous vehicle use cases. A core part of this role is building and iterating on customer-facing applications using the CoreWeave product stack tailored to specific engineering use cases. These applications are the product the customer uses; you are not just deploying tools but building at the product edge. You will gather and synthesise signals from real customer deployments, identifying where customer needs are consistent enough across accounts to inform development of standalone capabilities. You will contribute to the wider Field Engineering team’s Physical AI knowledge framework and provide critical signals of what customers need in the field and what ultimately gets built in the product.

Who You Are

Preferred

Knowledge of functional safety standards including ISO 26262 and SOTIF. Experience with simulation environments used in autonomous vehicle development (CARLA, LGSVL or similar). Familiarity with edge deployment of ML models in constrained or safety-critical environments. Experience identifying and progressing expansion opportunities within strategic customer accounts. Track record of contributing to internal knowledge frameworks, technical publications, or industry forums in the autonomous vehicles space. Experience working alongside or within an AI infrastructure or MLOps environment. Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams — even if you aren’t a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk. You are equally comfortable discussing perception algorithm design and long-tail edge case coverage with ML engineers as you are discussing system safety architecture with systems engineers and you know that the most valuable insight often sits at that boundary. You want to build AI solutions that are deployed in real engineering environments, not demonstrated in notebooks. You find the unsolved problem of building autonomous systems that reliably handle the long-tail of real word edge cases to be a genuinely interesting technical problem. You want to bring your autonomous vehicle domain expertise into a team that already knows how to land and expand AI solutions with engineering customers, and you see being the domain authority that opens a new vertical as a genuinely compelling opportunity. The base salary range for this role is $177,000 to $237,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. We strive for both market alignment and internal equity when determining compensation. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package includes a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program (all based on eligibility).
