About the role
Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
We are looking for a Robotics Integration Engineer to lead system-level integration, behavior-based validation, and full robot commissioning. You will play a key role in characterizing performance, debugging cross-disciplinary issues, and ensuring each robot is ready for deployment. This role bridges behavior development, test execution, and root cause analysis — ideal for someone excited about hands-on robotics engineering and making humanoids work reliably in the real world.
Responsibilities:
Develop and execute robot behaviors to validate motion, sensing, and control at the system level.
Own the end-of-line (EOL) bring-up and validation process for new robots, ensuring they meet quality and reliability standards.
Perform hands-on debugging of mechanical, electrical, and software integration issues.
Design and run validation plans to stress the full robot system across real-world use cases.
Create tools, metrics, and dashboards to track robot fleet performance over time.
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, software, and build teams to resolve integration challenges and improve test coverage.
Contribute to the automation of repetitive testing, data collection, and diagnostics.
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Controls Engineering, or a related field.
3–5+ years of experience working on robotic systems or electromechanical systems.
Proficiency in C++ and Python for scripting behaviors and debugging.
Strong system-level thinking with hands-on experience debugging full robotic stacks.
Familiarity with Linux-based systems and standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, log analyzers).
Comfortable working in a fast-paced R&D and production environment.
