About the job
Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots with the goal of shipping them with human-level intelligence for home and commercial markets. Our AI team is seeking Localization and Mapping Engineers to enable Figure humanoid robots to perform highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement real-time localization, ego-motion tracking, and state estimation systems by fusing multi-modal sensor data.
- Build and maintain scalable, offline pose-tracking pipelines for processing large-scale training data.
- Develop and optimize multi-sensor calibration systems for robotics and data collection platforms.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to build comprehensive, data-driven evaluation and testing frameworks.
- Design, engineer, and deploy high-quality, reliable software solutions for real-world robotics applications.
Requirements
- Deep technical expertise in solving complex estimation and nonlinear optimization problems.
- Strong command of 3D geometry, visual-inertial SLAM, and computer vision techniques, including feature matching/tracking, and Structure from Motion (SfM).
- Experience writing performant C++ software.
- Hands-on experience with sensor calibration (e.g., multi-camera and IMU intrinsics/extrinsics).
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment requiring rapid exploration and iteration.
- Passion for advancing humanoid robotics technology.
