Job Description

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 02, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.

Figure’s vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. Our AI team is looking for Robot Behavior Coordination Engineers to empower Figure humanoid robots to robustly perform complex sequences of tasks to contribute real work in physical workplaces.

Responsibilities:

• Implement a robot behavior architecture that provides various behavior authoring tools, such as state machines and behavior trees
• Using this architecture, design, implement, test, and deploy robot behavior coordination algorithms for humanoid robots for a large variety of mission scenarios. Iteratively improve the reliability and robustness of the algorithms
• Develop and use modern software engineering techniques to implement high quality, well-tested software
• Evaluate potential behavior coordination solutions and make design trade offs and decisions based on robot requirements
• Collaborate with other Figure team members to develop and implement a full autonomy stack
• Engineer and ship high quality, reliable software that will be deployed to the real world
• Work with the Figure Integration and Test team to evaluate and continuously improve your behavior coordination software

Requirements:

• Experience implementing, testing, and deploying behavior coordination solutions in C++ and/or Python on real robots
• Capable of quickly writing massive amounts of high quality, well-tested, behavior coordination software
• Possess both a theoretical understanding and have practical experience with behavior coordination algorithms
• Have a deep knowledge of state of the art techniques, data structures, and software tools
• Thrive in a high pace environment, where solutions are often unclear and require exploration
• Experience in behavior coordination

Bonus Qualifications:

• Passionate about building humanoid robots
• Experience with deploying real world robot behavior coordination solutions for autonomous commercial applications
• Publication record of developing and deploying robot behavior coordination solutions

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $120,000 - $400,000 annually.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
