Role

Who you are

7+ years of industry experience
Strong experience with Altium
Strong experience designing for power converters (10W to >1kW), high speed designs (>8 GHz), and RF
Strong experience with flex, rigid flex, and HDI designs
Strong experience with DFx (high yield designs, designing for ICT/FCT, etc)
Strong understanding of rule based designs (creepage/clearance, high speed rules, etc)

Experience with exotic PCB technologies (3D mid, IMS, embedded coin/bus-bar, embedded passives, planar transformers, etc)
Experience with PLM systems

What the job involves

We are looking for an experienced PCB Layout Designer to help us design critical hardware for our Humanoid
Responsible for the PCB layout of new and existing designs
Preparation and release of fabrication/assembly files
Manage library and PCB processes (footprint/component creation, design release process, checklists, etc)
Perform and manage vendor DFx reports
Collaborate with Electrical and Mechanical engineers
Manage external PCB layout contractors

Our take

Humanoid robots are quickly moving from sci-fi to reality, with big tech companies racing to bring them into workplaces, and soon, our homes. It's a booming market, and Figure is one of the big names in the game.

Figure builds human-like robots that are powered by advanced AI that can walk, see, and even understand natural language. Its latest model, the Figure 02, is already piloting in a BMW factory, and its in-house AI system, Helix lets these robots perform complex tasks from simple voice prompts. The company's moving fast, and it's not slowing down anytime soon.

But moving fast comes with baggage. It recently cut ties with OpenAI after claiming a major breakthrough in robot intelligence, and it's now working completely solo. Still, Figure just secured major commercial deals and may be headed for a jaw-dropping $40B valuation. It's a high-stakes field that's as exciting as it is controversial and Figure is certainly one to watch out for.
