Job Description

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 Perception / Computer Vision Software Engineers to empower Figure humanoid robots to see and understand the complex world that we will share with them.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, test, and deploy machine learning algorithms and deep neural network architectures for object identification, object pose estimation, scene reconstruction and/or geometric shape completion
• Train deep learning models using real and digital twin data to achieve robust perception in challenging conditions, such as poor lighting and cluttered scenes
• Evaluate potential perception solutions and make design trade offs and decisions based on robot requirements
• Develop and use modern software engineering techniques to implement high quality, well-tested software
• Engineer and ship high quality, reliable software that will be deployed to the real world
• Collaborate with other Figure team members to select sensors and determine their placement and to develop and implement a full autonomy stack
• Work with the Figure Integration and Test team to evaluate and continuously improve your perception software

Requirements:

• Experience implementing, testing, and deploying perception solutions in C++ and/or Python on real robots
• Extensive experience with deep learning frameworks and tools, such as TensorFLow, PyTorch, TensorRt, and/or ONNX
• Experience training and deploying neural networks on real hardware
• Capable of quickly writing massive amounts of high quality, well-tested, perception software
• Possess both a theoretical understanding and have practical experience with robot perception and computer vision algorithms
• Have a deep knowledge of state of the art techniques, data structures, and software tools
• Thrive in a high pace environment, where solutions are often unclear and require exploration
• Experience in robot perception

Bonus Qualifications:

• Passionate about building humanoid robots
• Experience with deploying real world perception solutions for commercial applications
• Experience with GPU programming
• Publication record of developing and deploying perception solutions
• Experience leading a team of developers
