Robotics Integration Engineer

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. 

We are looking for a Robotics Integration Engineer to lead system-level integration, behavior-based validation, and full robot commissioning. You will play a key role in characterizing performance, debugging cross-disciplinary issues, and ensuring each robot is ready for deployment. This role bridges behavior development, test execution, and root cause analysis — ideal for someone excited about hands-on robotics engineering and making humanoids work reliably in the real world.

Responsibilities: 

• Develop and execute robot behaviors to validate motion, sensing, and control at the system level.
• Own the end-of-line (EOL) bring-up and validation process for new robots, ensuring they meet quality and reliability standards.
• Perform hands-on debugging of mechanical, electrical, and software integration issues.
• Design and run validation plans to stress the full robot system across real-world use cases.
• Create tools, metrics, and dashboards to track robot fleet performance over time.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, software, and build teams to resolve integration challenges and improve test coverage.
• Contribute to the automation of repetitive testing, data collection, and diagnostics.

Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Controls Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–5+ years of experience working on robotic systems or electromechanical systems.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python for scripting behaviors and debugging.
• Strong system-level thinking with hands-on experience debugging full robotic stacks.
• Familiarity with Linux-based systems and standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, log analyzers).
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced R&D and production environment.

Bonus Qualifications: 

• Experience with humanoid or legged robots.
• Understanding of control systems, kinematics, dynamics, and motion planning.
• Exposure to ROS2 or similar autonomy stacks.
• Background in robotics validation for production or high-reliability environments.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $230,000 annually.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
