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 are seeking an Electrical Validation Engineer – Hand Subsystem to lead the bring-up, validation, and performance characterization of Figure’s dexterous robotic hands. You will own validation from first-article prototypes through full-robot and production builds.
Key
Responsibilities
Lead electrical and mechatronic bring-up and system validation of the hand subsystem, including actuators, motor drives, PCBAs, sensors, harnessing, and power distribution. Plan and execute subsystem and system-level validation of electrical system, actuation performance, power consumption and thermals. Develop and automate validation workflows and test setups to stress full range of motion, load cases, duty cycles, and environmental conditions.
Debug complex cross-disciplinary issues across hardware, firmware, controls, and mechanics using telemetry, oscilloscopes, DAQs, power analyzers, and thermal instrumentation. Lead root-cause analysis for reliability, performance, and durability issues; drive design, firmware, or process improvements in collaboration with partner teams. Build and maintain Python-based data logging, visualization, and analysis tools to track subsystem performance and detect anomalies.
Define KPIs and validation metrics to track hand subsystem performance, reliability, and fleet health over time. Document bring-up procedures, validation results, an
