About The Position

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous, general-purpose humanoid robots for commercial tasks and the home. Headquartered in San Jose, California, the company requires five days per week of in-office collaboration. Figure is seeking a Wire Harness Technician to design and build wire harnesses and custom cables for test setups supporting rapid development, validation, and integration. The role operates in a fast-paced prototyping and low-volume environment, producing both production-quality harnesses and non-standard, on-demand cable solutions for engineering and testing teams. The technician builds from drawings, bills of materials, and work orders while meeting IPC/WHMA standards and tight delivery timelines. The US hourly pay range for this full-time position is $30–$50. Compensation may vary based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may include additional components or benefits depending on the role; further information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.

Requirements

2–5+ years of experience building wire harnesses and cable assemblies in manufacturing or prototyping environments.
Ability to independently design and execute custom cable builds for testing and prototyping.
Ability to read prints and schematics and follow work instructions with minimal supervision.
Proficiency in crimping and soldering, including selective tinning, shields and drain wires, coax, and twisted pair.
Hands-on experience with strippers, gauges, pull testers, manual or pneumatic crimpers (Daniels or similar), soldering stations, and heat guns.
Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Class 2/3) and familiarity with J-STD-001.
Strong focus on quality and schedules, with high first-pass yield and low rework in fast-iteration environments.

Nice To Haves

Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certifications.
Experience supporting test labs, EVT/DVT builds, and rapid iteration cycles.
Experience with cable testers such as Cirris and basic fixture integration.
Exposure to ECOs/NPI, startup environments, and creating or maintaining SOPs.
Basic comfort using CAD viewers to review drawings and ERP systems for traceability.
Bilingual English/Spanish.

Responsibilities

Build build-to-print and custom wire harnesses, including cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, braiding or sleeving, heat-shrinking, basic potting, and final terminations.
Create custom cables and harnesses on demand for test setups, debugging, EVT/DVT activities, and rapid hardware iteration, including when requirements are evolving or incomplete.
Work closely with engineering and test teams to turn testing needs into practical cable and harness solutions.
Read and follow drawings, schematics, BOMs, work orders, and ECOs; record traceability in ERP systems or routers.
Crimp and verify terminals and contacts using specified tooling, and document pull tests when required.
Print and apply labels and heat-shrink markers according to prints.
Perform continuity, insulation/hipot, and other electrical tests, and conduct basic troubleshooting using DMMs, cable testers, and fixtures.
Perform rework to specification, such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, and support NCMR/MRB containment.
Maintain 5S, ESD, and safety standards.
Suggest process, tooling, and DFM improvements, particularly those that improve testability and iteration speed.
