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.
We are looking for someone to build and lead our field logistics & dispatch function from the ground up. You will design the system and infrastructure to move robots and equipment between HQ/warehouse, active data collection locations, and customer sites and hire and manage the team that runs it.
You will work closely with the commercial operations and data operations teams, and you will have real authority to make the call on how this function is structured, staffed, and run as the company scales. This role requires excellent leadership, problem solving, and communication skills.
The work
•
Build the function: Design and stand up the processes, SOPs, and checklists for kitting, dispatch, delivery, and returns.
•
Hire and lead a team: Recruit, hire, and manage the coordinators and dispatchers who will execute day-to-day logistics as volume grows. Set the bar for how the team operates.
•
Own the equipment lifecycle end to end: Requests, scheduling, delivery, tracking, returns, inspection, and damage logging across every active site.
•
Build the real-time source of truth: Establish the systems and tracking that give the company accurate, live visibility into equipment location, quantity, and availability across all active sites.
•
Own the transportation fleet: Manage the internal vehicle fleet and build the strategy for supplemental transport (leasing, carriers, couriers) as needs scale.
•
Build the playbook for contingency response when things go wrong in the field, and lead the response when they do.
Who they want
•
5-7+ years in logistics, dispatch, fleet operations, or field equipment coordination, with a track record of building or scaling a function.
•
Experience hiring, managing, and developing a team.
•
Ownership of physical equipment through a full cycle - dispatch, delivery, recovery, return.
•
A bias toward building systems and process rather than working around their absence.
•
Excellent communication skills - comfortable coordinating across multiple teams and external partners.
•
Proficiency with tracking systems, spreadsheets, and project management tools (e.g., Google Sheets, Jira, Confluence, inventory systems).
•
Valid driver's license.
•
Thrives in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment; comfortable making decisions in real time without waiting for permission.
