Lead Electrical Validation Engineer – Robotic Hands

Figure; Sacramento (CA); Sur place; USD 150 000 - 250 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Figure is seeking an Electrical Validation Engineer to lead bring-up and validation of the dexterous hand subsystem. You will own validation from first-article prototypes through production builds, collaborating across hardware, firmware, and controls teams.

You will develop automated validation workflows, analyze data with Python, and define KPIs to ensure reliability and performance, while working in San Jose, CA for a full‑time, on‑site role.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, Controls, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent).
• 5+ years of experience in electrical or mechatronic systems validation.
• Strong understanding of power delivery, motor drives, actuator control, sensing, and grounding.

Responsabilités

• Lead electrical and mechatronic bring-up and system validation of the hand subsystem, including actuators, motor drives, PCBAs, sensors, harnessing, and power distribution.
• Plan and execute subsystem and system-level validation of electrical system, actuation performance, power consumption and thermals.
• Develop and automate validation workflows and test setups to stress full range of motion, load cases, duty cycles, and environmental conditions.
• Debug complex cross-disciplinary issues across hardware, firmware, controls, and mechanics using telemetry, oscilloscopes, DAQs, power analyzers, and thermal instrumentation.
• Lead root-cause analysis for reliability, performance, and durability issues; drive design, firmware, or process improvements in collaboration with partner teams.
• Build and maintain Python-based data logging, visualization, and analysis tools to track subsystem performance and detect anomalies.
• Define KPIs and validation metrics to track hand subsystem performance, reliability, and fleet health over time.
• Document bring-up procedures, validation results, and integration learnings to support scaling to production, manufacturing test, and sustaining engineering.
