Full-time

Sunnyvale, CA

Please double check you have the right level of experience and qualifications by reading the full overview of this opportunity below.

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. It’s time to build.

We are looking for a Senior State Estimation Engineer. You will own the development of new state estimation & sensor fusion algorithms for our humanoid robot, working both in simulation and on hardware with the goal of providing real-time estimates for control, enabling precise localization of the robot in the world, and sensing the robot’s interaction both with manipulated objects and its environment.

Responsibilities :

  • Design and develop C++ code to support state estimation of a dynamic humanoid robot, e.g. :
  • Contact estimation
  • Interaction force estimation
  • Floating-base pose & velocity
  • Collaborate with the controls, motion planning, manipulation & perception teams to understand needs and develop state of the art techniques to solve real-world state estimation challenges
  • Test, evaluate, define performance metrics and perform failure analysis of the algorithms to improve the robot’s ability to solve real world problems

Requirements :

  • 4+ years of experience building state of the art state estimation solutions for real-time robotic systems such as (E)KFs, Particle Filters, Factor Graphs, Bayesian Estimation, etc.
  • Experience working with various sensors, including encoders, torque sensors, IMUs, etc.
  • Understanding of spatial kinematics, dynamics and related mathematical concepts
  • A proven track record iterating on complex state-estimation problems including problem definition, deployment, testing, data-analysis, debugging, and evaluation
  • Fluency in modern C++ and Python

Bonus Qualifications :

  • Prior experience working on legged robotics
  • Experience with Machine Learning (ML) as it relates to state-estimation
