Jobs at Figure AI

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 02, is designed for commercial tasks and the home.

Figure is aiming to build the first commercially viable general-purpose humanoid robot, a goal that has eluded engineers for decades. It claims early deployments with BMW, where robots are undergoing evaluation for basic assembly tasks. The pitch is massive: humanoid robots that can perform physical labor across manufacturing and logistics could reshape workforce dynamics and enable entirely new economic models.

The opportunity is real, but Figure remains a highly speculative moonshot. The company has no revenue, minimal real-world deployment, and limited evidence of sustained technical maturity. Much of the excitement is driven by founder Brett Adcock, who previously led Archer Aviation. He is effective at capital raising, recruiting, and narrative-building, but his track record and online persona have raised questions in the investor community. If Figure can translate its momentum and partnerships into real product traction, it may emerge as a foundational company in robotics. If not, it could serve as a cautionary example of valuation outpacing execution in the AI era.
