Robotics Integration Intern

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human-level intelligence. Our robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA and requires 5 days/week of in-office collaboration.

• Develop and execute robot behaviors for system-level testing, bring-up, and validation.
• Write software tools and scripts (C++, Python) to support integration, test automation, and data analysis.
• Assist in debugging complex hardware-software integration issues across mechanical, electrical, and control systems.
• Analyze system-level performance data to support root cause investigations and improve robot behavior.
• Collaborate with senior engineers on validation plans that exercise the full robot under real-world conditions.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Robotics, Controls, Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical, or related fields.
• Coursework or project experience in robotics controls, kinematics, or real-time systems.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
• Familiarity with robotic systems integration and hardware/software debugging.
• Comfortable working hands-on in a fast-paced hardware lab environment.

• Experience with ROS2, behavior trees, or motion planning frameworks.
• Background in humanoid, legged, or high-DOF robotic systems.
• Familiarity with Linux, version control (Git), and real-time logging tools.
