The goal of the company is to ship 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.\nThis is a contract-to-hire position with the goal of transitioning to full-time employment.\nAs the Night Shift Coordinator, you will lead our overnight team of Humanoid Robot Operators and own the results of the shift. Night shift has limited engineering support, so you'll be the one making the calls. You'll set priorities, keep robots running for real commercial use cases, solve problems as they come up, and hand the day team a clear, accurate picture of what happened overnight.\nThis role is for someone who treats the shift's outcomes as their own. When targets are missed, you find out why and fix it. When targets are hit, you look for ways to improve on them.\nSHIFT: 10:30 PM to 7:00 AM\nResponsibilities\nLead, schedule, and direct the night shift operator team, including robot and station assignments, coverage, and shift priorities.\n\nOwn shift performance: robot uptime, task throughput, and on-time completion of the customer use case. Report results and misses at the end of every shift.\n\nAct as the first point of escalation for robot failures, safety concerns, and operational blockers. Triage quickly and decide whether to keep running, pivot, or stand down.\n\nMake sure every issue is tracked, documented, and escalated to the right engineering team in Jira, and hold the team to a high standard for ticket quality.\n\nRun structured shift handoffs with day shift leadership so nothing gets lost between teams.\n\nCoach operators in real time. Give direct feedback, support onboarding and training for new hires, and build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.\n\nSpot recurring failures and process gaps, then drive fixes with engineering and operations leadership.\n\nEnforce all safety procedures for robot operation and model them yourself.\n\nMake sure work areas meet cleanliness and organization standards, and that the team follows equipment and robot maintenance procedures, including bring-up and shutdown.\n\nStep in hands-on and operate robots when the shift needs it.\n\nRequirements:\n5+ years of experience in a leadership role such as shift lead, supervisor, coordinator, or team lead. Manufacturing, field operations, lab operations, or a similar fast-paced environment is required.\n\nA proven track record of owning team results: hitting targets, improving metrics, and holding yourself and others accountable.\n\nConfidence making sound decisions on your own and under pressure, without waiting for direction.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication, including clear shift reports and effective escalation to technical teams.\n\nExperience working with robots or troubleshooting mechanical or electromechanical systems.\n\nFamiliarity with Jira or a similar ticketing/tracking tool.\n\nOpenness to giving and receiving constructive feedback, with a drive for constant improvement.\n\nAbility to stand 8+ hours a day and physically manage humanoid hardware.\n\n5-day workweek with a mandatory weekend shift and 2 days off.\n\nPhysical Requirements:\nLifting & Handling: Must be able to safely lift, carry, and maneuver equipment or humanoid hardware weighing up to 50 lbs independently.\n\nSustained Mobility: Ability to stand and move throughout the work area for the entirety of an 8+ hour shift (excluding meal/rest breaks).\n\nManual Effort: Capacity for frequent bending, reaching, stooping, and fine motor manipulation of robot hardware.\n\nBonus Qualifications:\nExperience leading overnight or off-hours teams.\n\nBackground in robotics, automation, or a hardware startup environment.\n\nExperience building or improving operational processes, SOPs, or performance tracking.\n\nA passion for helping scale the deployment of learning humanoid robots.\n\nTraining: There will be a 1 week training process at company headquarters. Training takes place Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.\nThe US base pay range for this full-time position is $40.00 to $45.00 per hour.\nThe pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4513,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Robotics","Humanoid Robots","Robotics AI","Multimodal AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T00:08:12Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 23","filings_12m":23,"filings_prev_12m":23,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":227500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":174,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/figure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/figure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T00:39:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1124,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":25},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=25"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffigure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffigure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffigure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/figure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffigure-ai-shift-coordinator-humanoid-robot-operations-night-shift"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3492282}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"figure.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3492282},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
