The posting

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
