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.
Operating under a Joint Development Manufacturing (JDM) model, Figure collaborates deeply with our manufacturing partners to co-develop next-generation hardware. As a Firmware Integration Engineer based in Asia, you are the forward-deployed technical anchor bridging our core US R&D; engineering teams and these JDM partners. You will own the software that validates and brings our robotic hardware to life on the assembly line.
Working on the ground at our partner facilities across China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, you will lead board bring-up for early prototypes, write diagnostic firmware to validate complex electro-mechanical assemblies, and ensure that our hardware transitions smoothly from the lab to mass production.
We are looking for a highly autonomous, hands-on engineer who thrives in the fast-paced, collaborative,



and high-stakes environment of hardware builds (EVT/DVT/PVT) and can seamlessly debug complex issues directly on the factory floor.
Key Responsibilities
- Onsite NPI & Board Bring-Up: Lead early hardware bring-up directly at JDM partner sites, acting as the first line of defense for validating new custom PCBAs and robotic sub-assemblies.
- Diagnostic Firmware: Write robust C/C++ diagnostic and test firmware to verify the functionality of microcontrollers, communication buses, power systems, and sensors during the manufacturing process.
- Factory Test Integration: Partner with Hardware and Test Engineering to design, deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain automated Functional Test (FCT) fixtures for the assembly line.
- System Debugging: Root-cause complex, system-level manufacturing defects on the factory floor in real-time using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and custom debug tooling.
- Cross-Function
