Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 02, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It's time to build.

Figure's vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. Our Helix 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:

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

Requirements:

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

Bonus Qualifications:

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

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $225,000 - $400,000 annually.

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.
