Full job description
Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. 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 based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
We're seeking an experienced Logistics and Trade Compliance Analyst to manage end-to-end customs clearance and regulatory compliance for both inbound and outbound shipments. This role owns the accuracy and efficiency of our cross-border logistics operations, working closely with customs brokers, freight forwarders, carriers, and internal stakeholders (GSM, MPM, Production) to ensure timely clearance while minimizing compliance risk and duty exposure.
The ideal candidate brings strong international logistics and trade compliance expertise, along with the ability to apply AI/data analytics tools to improve classification accuracy, flag anomalies, and streamline logistics operations.
Responsibilities:
Coordinate end-to-end international shipping operations across ocean, air, and ground freight, managing multiple carriers, freight forwarders, and 3PLs across regions
Manage logistics documentation (bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin) to support smooth cross-border movement
Track shipments proactively across the supply chain, resolving delays, routing issues, or carrier exceptions before they impact delivery timelines
Coordinate with overseas suppliers, vendors, and regional logistics partners to align shipping schedules, Incoterms, and documentation requirements
Optimize freight costs and transit times by evaluating carrier performance, routing options, and mode of transport (air vs. ocean vs. ground)
Manage import customs clearance process, ensuring accurate HTS classification, valuation, and country-of-origin determinations
Review and audit customs entries filed by brokers for accuracy; resolve discrepancies with CBP or other customs authorities
Track and reconcile tariff classifications against product changes/updates from engineering or procurement
Manage export documentation, licensing determinations (ECCN/EAR, ITAR if applicable), and screening against denied party lists
Ensure compliance with export control regulations (BIS, OFAC, State Department where relevant)
Coordinate with freight forwarders on export declarations (EEI/AES filings) and required certificates of origin
Manage compliance and logistics requirements for Dangerous Goods (specifically Lithium-Ion Batteries)
Use AI-powered tools and data analytics platforms to support HTS classification accuracy, duty spend analysis, and trade data reconciliation
Build or utilize dashboards/models to detect anomalies in customs entries, shipment delays, or compliance exceptions before they become issues
Apply predictive analytics to forecast duty costs, tariff exposure, and clearance timelines for supply chain planning
Use data-driven insights to identify process inefficiencies and recommend automation opportunities across inbound/outbound workflows
Requirements:
5-7 years of proven experience in tracking, tracing, and managing international freight operations (ocean, air, ground) and working with global carriers, forwarders, and 3PLs
Strong working knowledge of Customs clearance requirements in the USA, HTS classification, import/export regulations, section 301, and section 232
Excellent cross-functional communication—this role interfaces with internal and external stakeholders regularly, working across multiple time zones and cultures with overseas suppliers/partners
Bonus Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in supply chain, international business, or a related engineering/analytical field
Hands-on experience applying AI/data analytics tools in a logistics and trade compliance context
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $120,000 - $175,000 annually.
The 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.
