Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots with the goal of shipping 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. We're hiring Helix Data Creators to power our humanoid robot development. In this hands-on role, you'll wear Figure-provided sensor equipment to guide robots through human-like motions and collect the high-quality motion data that trains our AI models. This is a full-time 6-month fixed-term position, paid hourly. It's a strong entry point into robotics: high-performing Creators have opportunities to grow into Senior Creator and other lead positions as they become available.

Responsibilities

Wear sensor suits to perform repetitive, precise physical movements (walking, lifting, reaching) that guide the robot and generate training data, for up to 8 hours per shift.
Follow detailed "Ground Truth" movement protocols exactly, with zero deviation, to keep data consistent and high quality.
Help with donning and doffing sensor suits, follow proper setup and shutdown procedures, and promptly report any hardware issues to your Inventory Team Lead.
Flag bugs or issues during collection, share daily feedback to improve the process, and work comfortably toward daily data-collection targets.
Keep a clean, organized workspace and follow ergonomic guidelines to stay safe during repetitive tasks. We want you to speak up early about anything that doesn't feel right.
