The Robotics Integration Engineer will integrate and validate system components, execute tests, and ensure reliable humanoid robot performance across hardware, software, and AI systems.
The summary above was generated by AI

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 San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. 

We are seeking a Robotics Integration Engineer to drive system-level integration and validation across hardware, firmware, controls, AI, perception, and software. You will plan, execute, and oversee subsystem integration and full-system bring-up, ensuring reliable performance and consistency across the entire robot ecosystem. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on debugging, root cause analysis, and validating system functionality to make humanoid robots perform reliably in the real world.

Responsibilities: 

  • Integrate and validate system-level changes across hardware, controls, behavior, AI, and perception subsystems.
  • Architect and execute bring-up, validation, and end-of-line (EOL) test processes for humanoid robots.
  • Develop test tools and automation scripts in C++ and Python to streamline integration and data analysis.
  • Design and run validation plans that stress full-robot functionality across real-world use cases.
  • Debug and triage cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems.
  • Collaborate with design, controls, behaviors and software teams to define testable behaviors and verify subsystem performance.
  • Instrument robots using diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, telemetry logs) to characterize performance and identify failure modes.
  • Build dashboards, metrics, and reports to track system performance and fleet health over time.
  • Document integration workflows, test results, and lessons learned to improve future build efficiency.
  • Contribute to the automation of regression testing and continuous validation across the robot fleet.

Requirements: 

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 3–5+ years of experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for software development, scripting, and debugging.
  • Strong system-level understanding across hardware, firmware, and software layers.
  • Experience with Linux, Git, and standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, log analyzers).
  • Hands-on experience validating real-time control systems, behaviors, or perception pipelines.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, lab-focused R&D and production environment.

Bonus Qualifications: 

  • Experience with humanoid or legged robots.
  • Familiarity with ROS2, behavior trees, or motion planning frameworks.
  • Background in hardware bring-up, calibration systems, or production-level validation.
  • Exposure to high-reliability or safety-critical robotic systems.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $170,000 - $250,000 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.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
