About this 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 experienced Senior Engineering Technician to build, integrate, troubleshoot, and maintain complex robotic systems and engineering test assets. This is a hands-on role for someone who can work independently, own hardware within their area, and partner with engineers to drive problems to resolution.

Responsibilities:

• Build, integrate, bring up, and maintain complex robotic systems, subsystems, and test equipment.

• Independently troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and system-level failures using test equipment, logs, data, and engineering documentation.

• Own assigned hardware and test assets, including configuration, upgrades, maintenance, uptime, and readiness.

• Execute system and subsystem testing and clearly identify, document, and escalate failures.

• Work with engineering to reproduce failures, validate fixes, and drive issues to closure.

• Improve procedures, tooling, fixtures, and workflows to increase reliability, quality, safety, and efficiency.

• Maintain clear documentation of hardware configuration, test results, repairs, and known issues.

• Train and support other technicians on hardware, procedures, and troubleshooting.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building, testing, troubleshooting, or repairing complex electromechanical systems.

• Strong electrical, mechanical, and system-level troubleshooting skills.

• Experience with complex assembly, system bring-up, rework, and component replacement.

• Proficiency with diagnostic equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, and DAQ systems.

• Working knowledge of Linux environments, shell commands, and Python for system bring-up, troubleshooting, test execution, and data collection.

• Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, CAD, BOMs, and technical documentation.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with robotics, automation, or complex electromechanical systems.

• Experience with system integration, reliability testing, or failure analysis.

• Familiarity with CATIA or similar CAD tools.

• Python, Java, and/or C++ experience.

• Knowledge of IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, or J-STD-001.

The US base pay range for this full-time position is $45.00 to $70.00 per hour.

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.

Advertised by Figure and published on Greenhouse, the applicant tracking system they use.

RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.

Published 4 September 2026, last checked 17 days ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
