AI Jobs in Austin, TX

Robotics and hardware carry more weight in Austin than in most cities. Of the roughly 190 AI listings live as of September 2026, about 27 are robotics and embodied AI roles, second only to machine learning engineer at about 43, and the employer list backs that up: Apptronik builds humanoid robots, Tenstorrent designs AI chips, Avride works on autonomous vehicles and Neuralink on brain computer interfaces. Seekr, General Motors and Roku are the other frequent posters.

Senior is the biggest experience band at about 60 listings, then mid level at about 52, staff or principal at about 37 and lead or manager at about 32. Recent titles include senior machine learning engineer for a voice assistant, lead ML inference engineer for advertising, software engineer for embedded agentic AI, and senior machine learning scientist for creative generation and personalization. About 27 new listings appeared in the last week.

Twenty-seven percent of the hub is tagged remote, so most of these roles are on site or hybrid in Austin, and every listing names the US as the hiring country. About 21 percent state a USD salary, and among those the median midpoint is around $210,000 a year, close to the San Francisco figure; the majority still do not publish a range.

Because this hub is small, filters cut fast: the category filter for robotics or MLOps leaves a short list you can read in one sitting, and the minimum salary filter keeps only priced roles. Dallas and Houston have their own Texas city hubs, and the USA country page is the wide view if you would relocate. The autonomous vehicle hub gathers self driving roles across every city.
