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. 

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Controls Engineer. You will be developing new control system software for our Humanoid robot, working both in simulation and on hardware. You will have the opportunity to develop new ideas that enable new capabilities on our robot. We aim to develop a robot that moves through and interacts with the world in a natural human-like way, utilizing its whole-body for locomotion and manipulation.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and write C++ code to support manipulation and locomotion development of our humanoid robot
  • Solve whole-body robot coordination problems resulting from manipulation of and interaction with the robot’s environment
  • Test, evaluate and perform failure analysis of the software to  improve the robot’s ability to solve real world problems
  • Work with other engineers and technicians to analyze and solve hardware issues

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of experience implementing optimization-based multi-DOF control algorithms (trajectory-optimization, model-predictive control, whole-body control)
  • Understanding of spatial kinematics and related mathematical concepts
  • Fluency in modern C++
  • A proven track record implementing and deploying optimal control algorithms in simulation and/or on hardware

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Prior experience working on multi-DOF robot hardware
  • Experience with C++20, Python and/or Matlab
