Full Description

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 seeking a Robotics Integration Engineer to drive system-level integration and validation across hardware, firmware, controls, AI, perception, and software. You will plan, execute, and oversee subsystem integration and full-system bring-up, ensuring reliable performance and consistency across the entire robot ecosystem. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on debugging, root cause analysis, and validating system functionality to make humanoid robots perform reliably in the real world.

Responsibilities

* Integrate and validate system-level changes across hardware, controls, behavior, AI, and perception subsystems.

* Architect and execute bring-up, validation, and end-of-line (EOL) test processes for humanoid robots.

* Develop test tools and automation scripts in C++ and Python to streamline integration and data analysis.

* Design and run validation plans that stress full-robot functionality across real-world use cases.

* Debug and triage cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems.

* Collaborate with design, controls, behaviors and software teams to define testable behaviors and verify subsystem performance.

* Instrument robots using diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, telemetry logs) to characterize performance and identify failure modes.

* Build dashboards, metrics, and reports to track system performance and fleet health over time.

* Document integration workflows, test results, and lessons learned to improve future build efficiency.

* Contribute to the automation of regression testing and continuous validation across the robot fleet.

Requirements

* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

* 3–5+ years of experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems.

* Proficiency in C++ and Python for software development, scripting, and debugging.

* Strong system-level understanding across hardware, firmware, and software layers.

* Experience with Linux, Git, and standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, log analyzers).

* Hands-on experience validating real-time control systems, behaviors, or perception pipelines.

* Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, lab-focused R&D and production environment.

Bonus Qualifications

* Experience with humanoid or legged robots.

* Familiarity with ROS2, behavior trees, or motion planning frameworks.

* Background in hardware bring-up, calibration systems, or production-level validation.

* Exposure to high-reliability or safety-critical robotic systems.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $250,000 annually.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
