Shift Coordinator, Humanoid Robot Operations (Night Shift)

From the posting

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. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA.

This is a contract-to-hire position with the goal of transitioning to full-time employment.

As the Night Shift Coordinator, you will lead our overnight team of Humanoid Robot Operators and own the results of the shift. Night shift has limited engineering support, so you'll be the one making the calls. You'll set priorities, keep robots running for real commercial use cases, solve problems as they come up, and hand the day team a clear, accurate picture of what happened overnight.

This role is for someone who treats the shift's outcomes as their own. When targets are missed, you find out why and fix it. When targets are hit, you look for ways to improve on them.

SHIFT: 10:30 PM to 7:00 AM

Responsibilities

Lead, schedule, and direct the night shift operator team, including robot and station assignments, coverage, and shift priorities.

Own shift performance: robot uptime, task throughput, and on-time completion of the customer use case. Report results and misses at the end of every shift.

Act as the first point of escalation for robot failures, safety concerns, and operational blockers. Triage quickly and decide whether to keep running, pivot, or stand down. …
