Electrical Rework Technician (PCBA & Micro-Soldering)

Figure•San Jose, CA

3d•$30 - $50•Onsite

About The Position

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 an Electrical Rework Technician to own PCBA rework, micro-soldering, and board-level repair across Figure’s humanoid robot hardware. This role is focused on high-quality workmanship, precision rework, and fast turnaround of complex electronics during development, validation, and early production. You will work hands-on with dense, high-value PCBAs, supporting engineering debug, ECOs, and failure recovery while maintaining strict quality and repeatability standards. This role is critical to enabling rapid iteration during development and preventing rework from becoming a bottleneck as hardware matures toward production.

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience in electronics soldering and PCBA rework
Extensive hands-on experience with fine-pitch and high-density PCBAs
Proven expertise in micro-soldering under microscope
Strong understanding of PCB construction, component packages, and thermal behavior
Ability to consistently produce clean, reliable, and inspectable rework
High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
Comfortable working independently on high-value, time-critical hardware

Nice To Haves

IPC certification or equivalent professional training
Experience supporting R&D, robotics, or high-reliability electronics programs
Ability to read schematics and board layouts to support debug and rework decisions
Experience feeding rework learnings back into design-for-manufacturing improvements
Familiarity with early production or EVT/DVT hardware environments

Responsibilities

Perform precision soldering and rework on complex PCBAs to high workmanship standards
Execute advanced micro-soldering tasks, including: Fine-pitch SMD components High pin-count connectors QFN, LGA, and BGA rework (including reflow and reballing)
Diagnose and repair damaged pads, traces, vias, and connectors
Support engineering debug by implementing board modifications, ECOs, and bodge rework
Work from schematics, board layouts, and engineering guidance to execute accurate rework
Document rework actions, common failure modes, and lessons learned
Help define, improve, and standardize rework procedures and workmanship guidelines
Train and support technicians and engineers on soldering best practices
Maintain soldering tools, microscopes, rework stations, and consumables
Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering, Hardware Integration, and Manufacturing teams
