About this role

Figure, an AI robotics company, seeks an Electrical Engineer to design and validate motor control and power electronics hardware for humanoid robots. You'll develop PCBAs spanning analog, digital, and power domains while supporting system integration and testing for next-generation actuator systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and validate PCBAs for motor controllers, gate drivers, power distribution, and mixed-signal sensing circuits
  • Conduct trade studies and develop conceptual designs for actuator hardware decisions
  • Manage signal integrity, noise isolation, and thermal considerations across multiple circuit domains
  • Review design artifacts from peers and external suppliers
  • Support system integration and hands-on hardware debugging and validation

What they're looking for

  • PCB design and layout with Altium Designer
  • Motor controller design (gate drivers, H-bridges, FOC, BLDC/PMSM)
  • Mixed-signal circuit design (analog, digital, power)
  • Hardware debugging and problem-solving
  • Power electronics (DC-DC converters, switching regulators)
  • Signal integrity and thermal management
  • Encoder interfaces and motor feedback circuits
  • Embedded microcontroller programming

Benefits

  • Competitive salary range: $120,000 - $250,000 annually
  • Full-time position at a cutting-edge AI robotics company
  • Work on humanoid robot technology with real-world applications
  • Based in San Jose, CA tech hub
  • Potential additional compensation and benefits based on experience
