What the job involves

Our team is looking for a SW Engineer to build a real-time 3D visualization engine to accelerate Figure’s development.
Design, implement, and deploy industry leading interactive 3D visualization and analysis tools for all kinds of robotics data
Participate in the continuous improvement of the data analysis processes for deployment of control, perception, and robot behaviors
Provide technical guidance and support to other team members to improve analysis tools
Design and implement scalable and well documented APIs and frameworks
Collect needs and feedback from the engineering, system integration, and product teams

Our take

Humanoid robots are quickly moving from sci-fi to reality, with big tech companies racing to bring them into workplaces, and soon, our homes. It's a booming market, and Figure is one of the big names in the game.

Figure builds human-like robots that are powered by advanced AI that can walk, see, and even understand natural language. Its latest model, the Figure 02, is already piloting in a BMW factory, and its in-house AI system, Helix lets these robots perform complex tasks from simple voice prompts. The company's moving fast, and it's not slowing down anytime soon.

But moving fast comes with baggage. It recently cut ties with OpenAI after claiming a major breakthrough in robot intelligence, and it's now working completely solo. Still, Figure just secured major commercial deals and may be headed for a jaw-dropping $40B valuation. It's a high-stakes field that's as exciting as it is controversial and Figure is certainly one to watch out for.
