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 San Jose, CA and require 5 days / week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.

Our Pilot team is a group of technically-oriented, physically capable individuals who are at the forefront of our operations, collecting new data to train Helix, our AI system, through wearing sensors or teleoperation equipment and guiding the robot through designated behaviors. They collect training data by performing specific physical tasks, collaborate with engineering to troubleshoot issues with data collection, and analyze the data they collect.

  • Be the point of contact for setting up new projects, resolving issues, and providing regular updates on data collection projects.
  • Develop onboarding and ongoing training documentation for new hires. Train and mentor team members to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles effectively.
  • Promote a culture of safety, including proper use of equipment and adherence to safety procedures.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve teleoperation issues, implement process improvements, and ensure compliance to operational procedures.
  • May involve standing for long periods, supervising shifts, and responding to urgent operational issues.
  • May require travel to offsite collection locations.

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience leading a highly skilled team in a fast paced environment, including hiring, performance managing, and mentoring junior team members.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
  • Experience operating and troubleshooting early-stage technologies.
  • Excellent communication skills especially using data.
  • Able to work well under pressure while managing competing, time-sensitive demands.
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace (e.g., Sheets) and operational management tools.
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with robotics or AI data collection.
  • 10+ years experience leading skilled teams operating complex technology.
  • A passion for helping scale the deployment of learning humanoid robots.
  • The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $140,000 - $180,000 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.
