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 are seeking an Electrical Test Engineer to join the Test Infrastructure team responsible for developing and maintaining the electrical test systems that power integration, validation and HIL across Figure’s humanoid robot program. This role is highly hands-on and technical, combining electrical engineering, test automation, and hardware integration to ensure the performance, reliability, and scalability of Figure’s test infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop electrical test systems, including schematics, wiring harnesses, PCBA interfaces, and safety interlocks.
- Build and maintain benchtop and rack-mounted test fixtures for subsystem and full-robot validation.
- Collaborate with Systems Integration and Validation teams to define test requirements and electrical coverage for bring-up and EOL workflows.
- Develop and execute test plans and procedures for electrical systems, focusing on power integrity, communication interfaces, and fault detection.
- Perform debug, diagnostics, and root cause analysis for electrical and system-level issues on test stands and prototypes.
- Create and maintain Python-based test automation scripts to enable automated data collection, logging, and verification.
- Specify and integrate instrumentation and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, load banks, DAQs, and PSU controllers.
- Document test system designs, calibration procedures, and test workflows to ensure repeatability and scalability.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of electrical test infrastructure and reliability processes across multiple robot programs.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 4–7 years of experience designing, testing, or validating electrical systems or test equipment.
- Strong understanding of power distribution, grounding, and safety standards.
- Proficiency with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, PSUs, DAQs, power analyzers, multimeters).
- Experience designing test fixtures, harnesses, or interface boards for validation or production testing.
- Familiarity with Python or similar scripting languages for automation and data analysis.
- Proven ability to debug complex electrical systems, interpret schematics, and work cross-functionally.
- Experience designing PCBAs
- Excellent attention to detail and documentation practices.
Bonus Qualifications:
- Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or continuous integration test environments.
- Background in robotics or embedded systems validation.
- Knowledge of AC/DC power electronics, load control, or high-voltage safety design.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $130,000 and $250,000 annually.
