Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in data engineering, preferably with time-series or log data processing
- Proficiency in Python with experience in Pandas, Polars, or PySpark for large-scale data processing
- Strong understanding of database design, indexing, and query optimization (SQL and NoSQL)
- Experience handling complex data formats such as Parquet, MCAP, or protobuf
- Experience building custom web based data visualization tools (JavaScript, React…)
- Familiarity with data visualization tools like Grafana for real-time analysis and monitoring

- Knowledge of robotics or embedded system logging frameworks
- Familiarity with real-time data streaming and event-driven architectures
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to develop and optimize our data processing infrastructure and tools, enabling deep insights from robotic system logs.In this role you will transform robot logs and other sources of data to extract information, identify patterns, provide access to the data and visualization tools
- Your work will help ensure that the robot is operating reliably at maximum performance, and inform engineering design trades and decisions
- Develop and maintain pipelines and tools to transform robot logs to make it easier to access, visualize, and automatically detect events of interest
- Optimize data processing to reduce the time needed between data offload and the availability of the data to our engineering teams
- Design and optimize data storage solutions for handling complex, high-volume time-series and structured data
- Build and maintain database schemas and queries to support analytics and visualization of extracted patterns
- Support mechanical, electrical, software, integration and test engineers with their needs to extract and visualize data
- Develop dashboards and custom data visualizations tools to enable engineers to quickly extract information from the data and track robot performance
- Integrate your solutions with existing data pipelines and our robot testing framework
Our take
With an aging population and 10 million unsafe and undesirable jobs in the US, labour supply growth is predicted to flatline in the 21st century. Automation of jobs is a potential solution to these growing societal problems.
Exiting stealth in 2023, Figure Robotics joins a slew of AI and manufacturing companies with a distinct interest in humanoid robotics. The benefits of humanoid robotics, according to Figure, include the potential for them to take over unsafe or undesirable jobs from people, essentially leading to a happier and more purposeful society.
There’s clearly a long way to go, with Figure aware that its mission to expand human capabilities through advanced AI will take decades. That said, it has managed to raise more than $750 million in funding so far to help its long-term growth. And, with preliminary testing underway through a partnership with BMW, the company is certainly off to a good start.
