About This Role
Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 03, 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.
Figure is building the world's most capable general-purpose humanoid robot. XR systems play a key role in teaching our robots how to understand the world around them.
The Role
You’ll be working within our small but impactful XR team, contributing to a number of critical projects. One morning you might be debugging an XR app, the next afternoon you're running a hardware experiment on the robot. You'll thrive here if you love that kind of variety and move fast without needing a playbook.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain XR products to interface with our robots and data-capture hardware - implementing features, fixing bugs, and ensuring reliability as we scale
- Design and build out intuitive spatial user interfaces and visualizations
- Harden our XR data sync processes
- Integrate custom hardware stacks with off-the-shelf XR headsets
- Jump across hardware experiments, bug fixes, and new feature development as priorities shift
What We're Looking For
- Deep hands-on XR development experience - OpenXR, Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, and/or WebXR
- Comfortable working in XR for extended periods; this is your daily environment, not an occasional tool
- Strong C++
- Experience with video streaming and low-latency transmission systems
- Experience with high-precision motion-capture systems and tracking technologies
- Startup experience — you know how to operate with ambiguity and move fast
- Bonus: computer vision, robotics, custom hardware, cloud APIs, haptics
