The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

As the Pre-Sales Application Engineer (FAE) you are the technical backbone of your state sales region. You own every technical touchpoint of the sales cycle – product demonstrations, proof-of-concept projects, on-site deployment and customer training – for the full FF EAI Robotics portfolio (Navi, Aegis, Master, Futurist, FABER), enabling the regional Key Account Managers and the PAR Development Manager to win and retain B2B customers and channel partners.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver technical product demonstrations and proof-of-concept (POC) projects for education, industrial, events & hospitality, and public safety customers across the assigned state region
  • Lead on-site deployment, configuration, and customer training following FF’s standard deployment SOP (robot setup, controller/App connectivity, scenario programming, teacher/operator training)
  • Translate customer technical requirements and integration questions into structured feedback for FF product and engineering teams, and own the technical Q&A loop with customers and channel partners
  • Maintain and manage the regional demo fleet (inventory, condition, firmware, logistics for events and customer demos)
  • Support the PAR Development Manager with dealer technical enablement and certification training
  • Develop scenario-specific application solutions (e.g., campus tour guide, warehouse material handling, security patrol routes) and document them in the regional knowledge base
  • Represent FF EAI Robotics at regional trade shows, exhibitions, and customer events

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in pre-sales engineering, field application engineering, or technical deployment of robotics, automation, or IoT products
  • Hands-on ability to independently install, configure, network, and troubleshoot robotic systems on customer sites
  • Strong presentation skills; able to demonstrate complex technology to non-technical audiences
  • Willingness to travel up to 50%+ within the assigned region

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with quadruped/humanoid robotics platforms, ROS, or motion-capture and simulation tooling
  • Bilingual English/Mandarin communication skills
  • Experience supporting channel partners or resellers with technical enablement
