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 seeking a Robotics Integration Engineer to drive system-level integration and validation across hardware, firmware, controls, AI, perception, and software. You will plan, execute, and oversee subsystem integration and full-system bring-up, ensuring reliable performance and consistency across the entire robot ecosystem. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on debugging, root cause analysis, and validating system functionality to make humanoid robots perform reliably in the real world.

Responsibilities

• Integrate and validate system-level changes across hardware, controls, behavior, AI, and perception subsystems.
• Architect and execute bring-up, validation, and end-of-line (EOL) test processes for humanoid robots.
• Develop test tools and automation scripts in C++ and Python to streamline integration and data analysis.
• Design and run validation plans that stress full-robot functionality across real-world use cases.
• Debug and triage cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems.
• Collaborate with design, controls, behaviors and software teams to define testable behaviors and verify subsystem performance.
• Instrument robots using diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, telemetry logs) to characterize performance and identify failure modes.
• Build dashboards, metrics, and reports to track system performance and fleet health over time.
• Document integration workflows, test results, and lessons learned to improve future build efficiency.
• Contribute to the automation of regression testing and continuous validation across the robot fleet.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3–5+ years of experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python for software development, scripting, and debugging.
• Strong system-level understanding across hardware, firmware, and software layers.
• Experience with Linux, Git, and standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, log analyzers).
• Hands-on experience validating real-time control systems, behaviors, or perception pipelines.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, lab-focused R&D and production environment.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with humanoid or legged robots.
• Familiarity with ROS2, behavior trees, or motion planning frameworks.
• Background in hardware bring-up, calibration systems, or production-level validation.
• Exposure to high-reliability or safety-critical robotic systems.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $250,000 annually.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
