Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA.
Figure’s vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. Our AI team is looking for Localization and Mapping Engineers to empower Figure humanoid robots to perform highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments.
The work
•
Architect and implement real-time localization, ego-motion tracking, and state estimation systems by fusing multi-modal sensor data (cameras, IMUs, encoders, magnetic sensors).
•
Build and maintain scalable, offline pose-tracking pipelines to process large-scale training data from diverse sources.
•
Develop and optimize multi-sensor calibration systems for humanoid robotics and data collection platforms.
•
Partner with cross-functional teams to build comprehensive, data-driven evaluation and testing frameworks.
•
Design, engineer, and deploy high-quality, reliable software solutions for real-world robotics applications.
Who they want
•
Deep technical expertise in solving complex estimation and nonlinear optimization problems.
•
Strong command of 3D geometry, visual-inertial SLAM, and computer vision techniques, including feature matching/tracking, and Structure from Motion (SfM).
•
Experience writing performant C++ software.
•
Hands-on experience with sensor calibration (e.g., multi-camera and IMU intrinsics/extrinsics).
•
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment that requires rapid exploration and iteration.
•
Passion for advancing humanoid robotics technology.
Nice to have
•
Experience implementing visual-inertial SLAM systems on legged robotic platforms.
•
Background in estimation problems related to human motion capture or AR/VR applications.
•
Experience applying state-of-the-art Deep Learning approaches to SLAM, 3D reconstruction, or human pose estimation.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $200,000 to $400,000 per year.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
