Job summary

Figure is an AI robotics company building autonomous humanoid robots for home and commercial use. This role leads quality on high-volume assembly lines, from PFMEA development to mass production, driving data capture, SPC, and continuous improvement across production, engineering, and supply chain.

You will own quality checks, support NPI to production handoffs, and analyze field returns to prevent recurrence on future builds.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in quality engineering on high-volume electromechanical manufacturing.
• Hands-on PFMEAs and control plans from NPI to production.
• Structured problem-solving with 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone techniques.
• GD&T knowledge for interpreting complex drawings.
• Statistical analysis and SPC with JMP or Minitab; able to create dashboards from data.

Responsibilities

• Own quality on assigned in-house assembly lines (battery pack and final robot assembly).
• Define control plans, in-process and end-of-line quality checks; drive automation and data capture at mass production start.
• Lead first-pass yield monitoring, defect Pareto analyses, and 8D corrective actions.
• Act as quality voice on next-generation robot builds; review process flows and maintain PFMEAs and control plans.
• Own field failures and remanufacturing quality; perform structured root cause analyses and close loop with production and design.
