Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in the San Francisco bay area.

Leading a team of cross-functional engineers (SW/controls, ME, EE) towards developing an agile robotic platform for factory automation.

Designing, developing, implementing and fielding robust controllers for autonomous systems.

I worked at Boston Dynamics as a robotics engineering for over 8 years where I was involved in dynamic modeling, simulations, and control design for novel robotic systems. During that time I developed simulations that modeled dynamic behavior of tracked vehicles, developed behaviors that increase the mobility of RHex, a small six-legged man-portable robot, developed a bounding controller for Cheetah, a high speed quadruped, and worked on walking control of Atlas, a humanoid robot. Development of these behaviors involved modeling, simulation, as well as implementation and testing on hardware. I was also involved with the Spot mini robot, working on improving behavior robustness of the platform and overseeing a variety of testing efforts.- Designing and implementing high-performance behavior control systems- Control of multi-DOF dynamic systems- C++ programming for simulation and real-time control on robotic hardware- Operating, testing, and debugging of robotic software both in lab and field settings- Supporting any robotics task needing extra hands/minds

- Managed a four person team in the development of a helicopter deployable ground robot. - Researched and developed path planning algorithms for rough terrain navigation. - Developed novel techniques for teleoperation of an unmanned vehicle in beyond line-of-sight environments using 3-D terrain models.

- Conducted research in the areas of robotics, sensing and perception, dynamics and multi-unmanned platform collaboration.- Worked in a team environment which integrated various sensor packages into an autonomous helicopter platform.- Aided in the supervision of an undergraduate senior design team working to design an SUGV for radiological material detection and sampling.

- Managed and coordinating design work with other trades as necessary in order to ensure compatibility and functionality- Designed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems for multi-family residential & commercial building.- Designed plumbing systems for multi-family residential & commercial buildings

- Assisted students in creating, debugging and implementing C++ and MATLAB programs involving numerical methods.- Graded papers and assisted students in improving writing abilities

- Assisted students in creating three dimensional models in CATIA, Pro Engineering and UGS NX.- Assisted students to create and understand clear engineering drawings with appropriate Geometric Dimensions & Tolerances.
