Mind Robotics, an industrial robotics startup spun out of Rivian (RIVN), has hired former Ford (F) EV chief Doug Field as president to oversee product, engineering, and operations, working alongside CEO RJ Scaringe, who founded Mind and chairs its board. Field previously led Mac hardware engineering at Apple (AAPL), ran engineering at Tesla (TSLA), and rose to chief EV, digital and design officer at Ford. Mind is building AI foundation models, robots, and deployment infrastructure for industrial automation, with Rivian as its first customer and launch partner. The company has raised more than $1 billion, including a $500 million Series A in March and a $400 million round led by Kleiner Perkins in May that valued it at over $3 billion, per the Wall Street Journal.
