Electrical Rework Technician (PCBA & Micro-Soldering)

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.

Key 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
  

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

Bonus Qualifications

• 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

The US hourly range for this full-time position is between $30-$50/hr.

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.
