The Role
The Humanoid Robot Operator Interface Engineer will design, implement, test, and deploy operator interfaces for humanoid robots, including both 3D virtual reality and traditional GUI interfaces. Responsibilities include integrating various modules, developing mission-level interfaces, and working collaboratively to enhance software quality. The role requires a strong understanding of operator interfaces and software engineering techniques.
Summary Generated by Built In
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.
Figure’s vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. We are looking for an Operator Interface Engineer to empower Figure humanoid robots to remotely interact with human operators through various interfaces.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, test, and deploy operator interfaces for humanoid robots. These interfaces will include both 3D virtual reality interfaces and 2D traditional GUI keyboard/mouse interfaces
- Develop an immersive avatar operator interface, in which the human operator feels as if they are the actual robot
- Integrate various sensing, perception, and autonomy modules in the operator interfaces, allowing operators to operate in a higher-level supervisory role
- Develop mission-level operator interfaces for interacting with nominally fully-autonomous robots, which will occasionally require human intervention in challenging situations
- Develop and use modern software engineering techniques to implement high quality, well-tested software
- Evaluate potential operator interface solutions and make design trade offs and decisions based on robot requirements
- Engineer and ship high quality, reliable software that will be deployed to the real world
- Work with the Figure Integration and Testing team to evaluate and continuously improve your operator interfaces
Requirements:
- Experience implementing, testing, and deploying operator interfaces on real robots
- Experience with various virtual reality and GUI frameworks
- Capable of quickly writing massive amounts of high quality, well-tested, operator interface software
- Possess both a theoretical understanding and have practical experience with operator interfaces
- 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
Bonus Qualifications:
- Passionate about building humanoid robots
- Experience with deploying real world operator interfaces for commercial applications
- Publication record of developing and deploying operator interfaces
