Electrical Engineer

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.

We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to design and test critical hardware components of our humanoid.

Responsibilities:

• Develop conceptual designs and conduct trade studies to support key design decisions.
• Design and validate PCBAs for critical components of the Humanoid like power distribution boards, battery management systems, sensing boards, motor controllers or compute boards.
• Contribute to the definition of our PCBA design and test process.
• Support the review of design artifacts (schematics, layouts, bill of materials…) from your peers or external suppliers.
• Support system integration and test activities by contributing to test execution and debugging.

Requirements:

• Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of industry experience.
• Solid EE fundamentals with hands-on experience designing, building, and testing PCBAs.
• Mastery of Altium (or similar EDA tools) in both schematics and layout.
• Mastery of power electronics (motor driver, switch mode power supplies…), digital electronics (MCU, FPGA, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C…), and analog electronics (filters, ADC/DAC…).
• Mastery of debugging HW issues. You know how to attack a problem, document, and come up with solutions quickly.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience using LTspice, Python, and Matlab.
• Embedded programming of DSPs, microcontrollers, and FPGAs.
• Experience with Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical CAD tools (Catia, SolidWorks…).
