Role

Who you are

7+ years of hands-on engineering experience
Experience developing firmware for sensing hardware on bare-metal systems and RTOS
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

What the job involves

We are looking for a Firmware Engineer to design, implement and test firmware for critical components of our Humanoid and TeleOp system
Architect, design, implement and test firmware in C or C++ for critical components such as motor controllers, battery management systems and sensing hardware
Define a strategy to facilitate reuse of the code base and tools used to develop firmware on different hardware platforms
Develop Python tools to support test automation or hardware calibration
Contribute to the development of our Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) infrastructure
Support hardware/software integration in the lab

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.
