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.
Figureās vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. Our AI team is looking for Motion Planning and Navigation Engineers to empower Figure humanoid robots with the ability to avoid getting stuck while moving throughout a world designed for humans.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, test, and deploy motion planning and navigation algorithms for humanoid robots. These will include generating body paths, footsteps and handholds, collision free arm trajectories, and grasps
- Assist in planning algorithms for high-level decision making and human-machine interaction
- Develop and use modern software engineering techniques to implement high quality, well-tested software
- Evaluate potential motion planning and navigation solutions and make design trade offs and decisions based on robot requirements
- Collaborate with other Figure team members to develop and implement a full autonomy stack
- Engineer and ship high quality, reliable software that will be deployed to the real world
- Work with the Figure Integration and Test team to evaluate and continuously improve motion planning and navigation software
Requirements:
- Experience implementing, testing, and deploying motion planning and navigation solutions in C++ and/or Python on real robots
- Understand both traditional and machine learning approaches to motion planning and navigation, and the tradeoffs between various techniques
- Capable of quickly writing massive amounts of high quality, well-tested, motion planning and navigation software
- Possess both a theoretical understanding and have practical experience with motion planning and navigation 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 motion planning and navigation
Bonus Qualifications:
- Passionate about building humanoid robots
- Experience with deploying real world motion planning and navigation solutions for commercial applications
- Publication record of developing and deploying motion planning and navigation solutions
- Experience leading a team of developers
