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 Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
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
