Figure is currently hiring a Shift Coordinator for Humanoid Robot Operations to oversee its robots during overnight shifts in Santa Clara, California. This role, which offers a pay range of $40 to $45 per hour, is part of a broader effort to maintain continuous operations of its humanoid robots across various sites, including customer locations in California and Nevada, as well as data-collection centers in Brazil and Mexico.
The significance of this position lies in its contribution to Figure's goal of 24/7 robot operation, as emphasized by CEO Brett Adcock. The night coordinator will lead a team responsible for addressing robot failures and safety issues, ensuring that the robots are operational for real commercial use cases. This hiring initiative reflects Figure's commitment to expanding its workforce to support ongoing robot operations, which includes multiple shifts and various roles.
Figure's plans for continuous operation include the deployment of its humanoid robots at customer sites, such as the distribution center for Catalyst Brands in Reno. The company has not disclosed a total production number since building its 1,000th Figure 03 in July, but it continues to expand its operational capabilities across the United States, with robots already functioning in three states.
