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 headquartered in San Jose, CA. We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer focused on Fan and Duct Design to own the end-to-end development of the robot’s airflow systems from early impeller geometry prototypes to production-ready assemblies released to manufacturing. Responsibilities Own the mechanical design of the robot’s fan assemblies: impellers, housings, ducts, diffusers, seals, shrouds, baffles, and mounting structures. Translate CFD-engineered impeller geometry into fully detailed, moldable components with proper drafts, ribs, gates, cooling channels, and tooling strategies. Develop manufacturable plastic parts (injection-molded), metal components, and hybrid structures for quiet, efficient airflow. Select, qualify, and integrate fan motors including BLDC, slotless motors, PMSMs, or custom motor architectures depending on system targets. Collaborate with motor vendors and CMs to determine winding specs, bearings, back-EMF constants, and long-life design constraints with additional support from the Figure motor team Support thermal and acoustic engineers by designing test fixtures, running airflow tests, and validating fan performance. Own iterative cycles: prototype → measure → redesign → retest. Drive supplier engagement on tooling, gating, draft strategies, warpage control, and tolerance analyses. Partner with GSM and CMs to close out DFM, tooling release, mold trials, and FAIs. Create drawing pac
