Helix AI Engineer, XR

Full-time

Figure

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 03, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It's time to build.

Figure is building the world's most capable general-purpose humanoid robot. XR systems play a key role in teaching our robots how to understand the world around them.

The Role

You’ll be working within our small but impactful XR team, contributing to a number of critical projects. One morning you might be debugging an XR app, the next afternoon you're running a hardware experiment on the robot. You'll thrive here if you love that kind of variety and move fast without needing a playbook.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain XR products to interface with our robots and data-capture hardware - implementing features, fixing bugs, and ensuring reliability as we scale
  • Design and build out intuitive spatial user interfaces and visualizations
  • Harden our XR data sync processes
  • Integrate custom hardware stacks with off-the-shelf XR headsets
  • Jump across hardware experiments, bug fixes, and new feature development as priorities shift

What We're Looking For

  • Deep hands-on XR development experience - OpenXR, Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, and/or WebXR
  • Comfortable working in XR for extended periods; this is your daily environment, not an occasional tool
  • Strong C++
  • Experience with video streaming and low-latency transmission systems
  • Experience with high-precision motion-capture systems and tracking technologies
  • Startup experience — you know how to operate with ambiguity and move fast
  • Bonus: computer vision, robotics, custom hardware, cloud APIs, haptics

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.
