Building the World's First Commercially Viable Autonomous Humanoid Robot
Frontier robotics with frontier intensity. Choose Figure AI if you want to build physical intelligence at the cutting edge — but expect startup hours and high expectations.
Figure AI is building the world's most advanced humanoid robots, powered by custom AI models. Founded in 2022, the company has raised over $3.2 billion and is valued at approximately $40 billion — making it one of the most well-funded AI robotics companies in history. Partnerships with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and BMW underscore the company's ambitions.
The engineering culture is intense and fast-paced. With ~400 employees working on hardware, AI, and robotics simultaneously, the company attracts top talent from across disciplines. Reviews highlight competitive pay, great colleagues, and genuinely frontier work — but also flag long hours as a consistent downside.
Based on 4 Glassdoor reviews (estimated — low confidence). Ratings may shift significantly as more reviews are submitted.
Hardware, software, and AI teams work tightly together to build autonomous humanoid robots. Engineers across mechanical, electrical, and ML disciplines collaborate daily.
Strategic partnerships with NVIDIA (compute), Microsoft (AI infrastructure), and BMW (manufacturing deployment) provide real-world validation and scale.
Fast-moving startup with high ownership expectations. Engineers are expected to ship quickly and iterate on physical and digital systems simultaneously.
