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 Shift Coordinator, you will lead our team of Humanoid Robot Operators and own the results of the shift. At times there is 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: Swing - 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM

Each is a 5-day week that includes a weekend shift, with training Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

Responsibilities

Lead, schedule, and direct the 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. …

About the pay figures (~): These are estimates. Yearly figures are estimated total comp ranges: the employer's posted pay range, or, with no posted pay, the median to 90th-percentile BLS wage for similar jobs, plus typical benefits and bonus, without stock. Hourly figures for internships and contract roles are posted rates or BLS hourly wage ranges. Figures outside the U.S. and for loosely matched titles are rough ballparks. How we estimate
