Job 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 looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer to own PCBA-level test development and validation across all our custom electronics. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, deploying, and validating ICT (In-Circuit Test), FCT (Functional Circuit Test), and end-of-line diagnostics for our board builds — from prototype through mass production. This role is highly hands-on and requires regular travel to overseas contract manufacturers (CMs). You will work closely with electrical engineering, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure all test systems are robust, scalable, and capable of identifying issues before boards ever reach final assembly.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own test coverage strategy for all custom PCBAs across the product
  • Design, validate, and deploy bed-of-nails ICT and FCT test fixtures, working directly with overseas test vendors and fixture houses
  • Collaborate with electrical and firmware teams to define test hooks, firmware test modes, and diagnostics coverage
  • Specify and validate test software, including automated test sequencing, result logging, and failure triage
  • Serve as the test lead on-site at CMs during NPI builds to bring up, debug, and improve test coverage and throughput
  • Monitor test yield data, drive root cause analysis for failures, and recommend corrective actions
  • Act as the first line of defense when boards or testers start failing
  • Ensure test processes scale from EVT through MP, with clear handoff documentation and ongoing vendor support

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in PCBA manufacturing test, ideally with high-complexity boards and tight timelines
  • Hands-on experience with ICT and FCT system design, bed-of-nails fixture development, and board-level debug
  • Strong understanding of DFT (Design for Testability) and how to collaborate with EE/FW teams early in the design cycle
  • Experience working directly with overseas CMs and test vendors
  • Familiarity with test automation frameworks, data collection, and reporting tools
  • Able to read schematics, probe/debug hardware, and communicate clearly across disciplines
  • Strong proficiency in writing Python for interfacing with real hardware
  • Willingness to travel overseas 40% of the time

Nice to have:

  • Bachelor or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Experience with Altium
  • CAD experience (EPLAN, Solidworks Electrical, CATIA, etc)
  • Embedded programming of DSPs, microcontrollers, and FPGAs
  • Robotics or other high tech industry experience
