Figure, a San Jose robotics company founded in 2022, builds autonomous humanoid robots and trains the AI that drives them. Its stack pairs CATIA and MATLAB hardware design with a large-scale GPU training toolchain (Megatron-LM, NCCL, InfiniBand, NVLink, Triton), pointing to serious in-house foundation model pretraining. Accelerating, senior-heavy hiring across engineering, ops and manufacturing signals a push from prototype toward production.
