Robotics Integration Engineer

at Figure AI · Robotics · HQ · Systems Integration & Test

Figure AI is seeking a Robotics Integration Engineer to drive system-level integration and validation across hardware, firmware, controls, AI, perception, and software for their general-purpose humanoid robot. The role involves planning and executing subsystem integration, full-system bring-up, debugging, root cause analysis, and validating system functionality to ensure reliable performance in real-world applications. Responsibilities include developing test tools, designing validation plans, debugging cross-disciplinary issues, and contributing to automation of regression testing.

What you'd actually do

  1. Integrate and validate system-level changes across hardware, controls, behavior, AI, and perception subsystems.
  2. Architect and execute bring-up, validation, and end-of-line (EOL) test processes for humanoid robots.
  3. Develop test tools and automation scripts in C++ and Python to streamline integration and data analysis.
  4. Design and run validation plans that stress full-robot functionality across real-world use cases.
  5. Debug and triage cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems.

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.
