About the role
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 an Electrical Engineer to join our Actuator Systems team, designing and testing the motor control and power electronics hardware that drives our humanoid robots. Responsibilities: • Design and validate PCBAs for actuator and motor control systems, including motor controllers, gate drivers, power distribution boards, and mixed-signal sensing circuits. • Develop conceptual designs and conduct trade studies to support key actuator hardware decisions. • Design across analog, digital, and power domains on the same board — managing signal integrity, noise isolation, and thermal considerations. • Support review of design artifacts (schematics, layouts, bill of materials) from peers and external suppliers. • Support system integration and test activities through hands-on debugging and validation. Requirements: • Bachelor or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. • 2+ years of industry experience. • Solid EE fundamentals with hands-on experience designing, building, and testing PCBAs. • Mastery of Altium Designer in both schematics and layout. • Experience with motor controller design — gate drivers, H-bridges, FOC, BLDC/PMSM topologies. • Experience with mixed-signal design spanning analog, digital, and power domains. • Strong debugging instincts — you know how to attack a hardware problem, document findings, and drive to solutions quickly. Bonus Qualifications: • Experience with power electronics — DC-DC converters, switching regulators, battery management. • Familiarity with current sensing, encoder interfaces, and motor feedback circuits. • Experience with small form factor boards (HDI, flex, rigid-flex). • Embedded programming of microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs for motor control applications. • Experience with LTspice or similar simulation tools. • Background in robotics, automotive, drone, or other motor-driven systems. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $120,000 to $250,000 per year. The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
