Systems Integration Engineer - Hand Subsystem

About this role

Figure is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to integrate dexterous hand subsystems into humanoid robots, working across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software teams. This role requires bringing up robotic hands from prototype through production deployment, with responsibility for calibration, validation, and real-time control integration.

What you'll do

• Integrate multi-DOF robotic hands with the humanoid control stack and validate motion, sensing, and control at system level
• Develop and execute calibration strategies, design-validation plans, and end-of-line production test procedures
• Integrate position, torque, and tactile sensors into real-time control systems
• Debug mechanical, electrical, and software integration issues and identify root causes
• Collaborate with controls engineers to tune high-bandwidth controllers and characterize actuation performance
• Build automation scripts, test dashboards, and diagnostic tools to streamline testing and data collection

What they're looking for

• C++ and Python programming
• Robotic and electromechanical systems integration
• Sensor integration and control tuning
• Mechanics, kinematics, controls, and dynamics
• Linux development environments
• Lab equipment for validation and debugging
• Communication protocols (Ethernet, EtherCAT, Serial, SPI, I2C)
• MATLAB/Simulink and CAD tools

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $150,000–$250,000 annually
• Comprehensive total compensation package with additional benefits
• Full-time position with 5 days/week in-office collaboration in San Jose, CA
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI humanoid robotics
• Cross-functional collaboration with design, firmware, software, and AI teams
