    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 a Validation Engineer to develop and execute validation and testing for critical electrical subsystems, including Compute, Power Distribution, Charging, and Battery Management. This highly technical role spans benchtop validation, early integration, and system-level verification to ensure subsystem performance, reliability, and compliance before deployment in the humanoid robot.
    You will work closely with design, firmware, and systems integration engineers to plan, execute, and automate validation workflows from first article bring-up through full-robot readiness. Success in this role requires a hands-on approach, strong electrical fundamentals, and the ability to turn test data into actionable design feedback.
    Key Responsibilities:

    • Develop and execute bench-top validation plans for electrical and mechatronic subsystems.
    • Design and implement test setups and interfaces, including PCBA fixtures, instrumentation, and automation scripts.
    • Plan and oversee subsystem validation through the integration stages - from prototype hardware to full robot operation.
    • Perform data-driven testing for power, communication, and thermal performance across compute and power systems.
    • Conduct failure analysis to identify root causes, define corrective actions, and verify fixes.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, firmware, systems integration, and test) to align validation with robot-level requirements.
    • Maintain comprehensive documentation of validation test plans, procedures, and results to support traceability and scaling.
    • Develop automation frameworks and scripts in Python to streamline validation, data collection, and analysis.
    • Support design-for-testability and manufacturability efforts through feedback loops and test standardization.
    Requirements:
    • 3-5 years of hands-on experience validating complex electrical or power systems in production or R&D hardware.
    • Strong understanding of electrical principles, circuits, and system-level power distribution.
    • Proficiency in Python for test automation, data logging, and analysis.
    • Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, PSUs, DAQs, power analyzers).
    • Demonstrated ability to design and implement test setups, including fixture design and measurement planning.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of working across multiple engineering domains.
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience).
    Bonus Qualifications:
    • Experience with compliance/EMC testing and mitigation.
    • Familiarity with robotics, mechatronic, or humanoid systems.
    • Experience with firmware validation, scripting, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
    • Leadership experience driving validation projects or managing test infrastructure.
    The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $130,000 and $250,000 annually.
