Job description

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 San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.

We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to help us design and test critical hardware to power our Humanoid.

Responsibilities

• Develop conceptual power architectures and conduct trade studies to support key design decisions
• Design and validate PCBAs for charging products, including both the power stages and the mixed-signal control boards
• Support design reviews (schematics, layouts, etc)
• Support system integration and hardware bring‑up by contributing a hands‑on, builder mentality to test execution and debugging

Requirements

• Bachelor or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 4+ years of industry experience, you have designed and shipped multiple products to production
• Experience with grid-tied AC/DC (you must know how to design a PFC from scratch), DC/DC (Buck, Boost, Flyback, etc.), and resonant converters
• Hands‑on experience designing mixed‑signal circuits and control boards. You should deeply understand MCUs, their peripherals, and how to implement them in hardware
• Experience with high voltage applications, protection circuitry, and the common failure modes associated with power electronics designs
• Experience sizing and designing discrete power electronics (controllers, gate drivers, MOSFETs, inductors, XFRMs, caps, sensing, etc)
• Strong experience in EMI/EMC, filter design, and meeting safety/compliance standards
• Strong hardware debugging skills. You know how to attack a board or system level problem, document it, and fix it quickly

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) topologies and charging architectures
• Experience with Altium
• Experience with PCB layout, designing for power converters, and layout‑level EMC mitigations
• Experience simulating power electronic circuits
• Experience working with embedded control systems and/or digital power control

The US base salary range for this full‑time position is between $150,000 - $250,000 annually.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
