About The Position

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build. We’re looking for a seasoned Engineering Program Manager to drive execution across our most complex electrical hardware programs. You understand the nuances of the electrical design process and know exactly what it takes to bring top-level assemblies to life. You don’t just monitor a timeline; you own the outcome—defining scope, ensuring validation completion, and keeping the team unified. Whether it’s diving into a technical hurdle or cutting through logistical red tape, you are the catalyst that keeps our engineering team moving fast and staying aligned.
