Electrical Validation Engineer – Hand Subsystem

San Jose, CAFrom $150kmidAdded 1 month ago

About this role

Figure, an AI robotics company, seeks an Electrical Validation Engineer to lead the bring-up and validation of advanced robotic hand subsystems. You'll own electrical and mechatronic testing from prototypes through production, debugging cross-disciplinary issues and driving design improvements for humanoid robots.

What you'll do

  • Lead electrical and mechatronic bring-up of hand subsystem including actuators, motor drives, PCBAs, sensors, and power distribution
  • Plan and execute subsystem and system-level validation testing for performance, power consumption, and thermal characteristics
  • Develop and automate validation workflows and test setups covering full range of motion, load cases, and environmental conditions
  • Debug complex hardware, firmware, and controls issues using telemetry, oscilloscopes, DAQs, and thermal instrumentation
  • Lead root-cause analysis for reliability and durability issues; collaborate on design and process improvements
  • Build Python-based data logging, visualization, and analysis tools; define KPIs for fleet health tracking

What they're looking for

  • Electrical and mechatronic systems validation (5+ years)
  • Power delivery, motor drives, actuator control, and sensing
  • Python automation, data acquisition, and analysis
  • Lab instrumentation: oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DAQs, thermal sensors
  • Hardware and firmware debugging in integrated systems
  • Control-system tuning and performance optimization
  • Communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, EtherCAT, Ethernet)
  • Linux and embedded development environments

Benefits

  • Competitive salary range: $150,000–$250,000 annually
  • Full-time position with comprehensive total compensation package
