Job Specifications

Figure is an AI robotics company developing a general-purpose humanoid. We're focused on tackling the complex, unstructured environment of the home as a proving ground for general robotics.

We're based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week of in-office collaboration.

We're looking for a Middleware Software Intern for Winter 2026 to help build out the core platform infrastructure that keeps our robot running. How do you enable apps on a robot to exchange 320,000,000 messages per hour, 24 hours a day, without fail? How do you efficiently capture and store all of that data? And how do you give developers the tools to visualize and interact with it? These are the types of challenges you'll be working on.

This internship is designed for students in their final year of an undergraduate or master's program, as well as recent graduates who are on track to complete their degree by the end of 2026 (or the following year).

Responsibilities

Implement and test C++ software running on embedded Linux systems
Write Python scripts to investigate and resolve issues
Work with our testing infrastructure to ensure fixes remain stable

Requirements

Graduate student or recent graduate in Computer Science or related field
Available for a minimum of 10 weeks (1-2 terms preferred)
Demonstrated experience on hardware/software projects outside of coursework
Proficient in C++ and Python
Strong understanding of Linux
Solid knowledge of computer architecture and networking protocols

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with the Bazel build system
Familiarity with timing-sensitive environments
Knowledge of shared memory and lock-free systems
Exposure to TypeScript
