Figure
Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
We are seeking a
Test Automation Engineer
to design, build, and maintain automated testing infrastructure for Figure's CI, Hardware in the Loop (HIL) and system-level validation environments. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software ensuring every change in the stack is automatically verified against real hardware.
You will develop test frameworks, pipelines, and tooling that power regression testing and continuous integration for the humanoid robot. Your work will provide fast, reliable feedback to engineering teams, enabling consistent, data-driven validation across subsystems and full-robot tests.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and implement
automated test systems
that validate functionality across embedded, electrical, and software interfaces. Develop
Python-based frameworks and CLI tools
to execute tests, collect logs, and generate pass/fail reports. Integrate test automation into
continuous integration (CI/CD)
workflows, enabling automated regression detection. Bring up and validate
new hardware and firmware builds , ensuring consistent system behavior across releases. Collaborate with Systems Integration, Firmware, and Software teams to define
test coverage, interface contracts, and validation flows . Diagnose and debug test failures across the stack from hardware faults to software regressions. Manage
data logging, result visualization, and traceability
across automated test runs. Contribute to the design of scalable, reusable
test frameworks and APIs
for future platforms. Requirements:
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in
Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field . 3-5 years of experience in
test automation or embedded systems validation . Strong understanding of
firmware-hardware interaction
(I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, ADC, GPIO, Ethernet). Proficiency in
Python
for test automation, scripting, and data processing. Experience with
Linux-based development
and command-line tools. Familiarity with
CI/CD systems
(e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or TeamCity). Bonus Qualifications:
Experience with
Pytest, Robot Framework, or custom automation frameworks . Exposure to
hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)
environments or simulation systems. Familiarity with
board-level validation , power sequencing, and sensor testing. Background in
robotics, automotive, aerospace , or other complex mechatronic systems. Proficiency with
lab instrumentation
(oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DAQs).
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $130,000 and $250,000 annually.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
