Systems Test 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 Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. Figure’s vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. Our AI team is looking for Localization and Mapping Software Engineers to empower Figure humanoid robots to perform highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments. Responsibilities: Requirements: Bonus Qualifications: - Design, implement, test, and deploy localization and mapping algorithms for humanoid robots, fusing information from cameras, IMUs and other sensors - Own tracking and odometry modules at Figure - Implement onboard, real-time tracking and odometry software - Build evaluation pipelines, including data collection and metrics, in collaboration with other Figure teams - Engineer and ship high quality, reliable software that will be deployed to the real world - Collaborate with other Figure team members to develop and continuously improve the full autonomy stack - Have a deep knowledge of classical computer vision techniques (feature detection, stereo matching, structure from motion etc) - Industry experience building robust odometry applications, preferably visual inertial odometry - Familiar with Deep Learning techniques for Localization and Mapping applications, especially feature detection and pose regression - Hands-on experience with sensor calibrations (e.g. stereo cameras, camera and IMU extrinsics) - Capable of quickly writing massive amounts of high quality, well-tested, perception software - Thrive in a high pace environment, where solutions are often unclear and require exploration - Passionate about building humanoid robots - Experience with addressing edge cases from localization and mapping solutions deployed at scale - Experience with the initialization of visual inertial odometry - Research background in SLAM and/or publications in localization and mapping applications
