Service Tooling Engineer

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 headquartered in San Jose, CA.

We are looking for a Service Tooling Engineer to design, prototype, and deliver the tooling and equipment that enables our service and deployment teams to safely transport, operate, and maintain our humanoid robots in the field. This role bridges mechanical engineering with hands-on problem solving - you'll work closely with the service and field teams to understand their needs and deliver practical, durable solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design tooling, fixtures, and equipment in 3D CAD that satisfy load conditions, ergonomic requirements, and durability needs for field use
• Build and test prototypes to validate design - including fit, function, and ease of use by non-engineers
• Generate accurate 2D drawings using GD&T per ASME Y14.5 for internal fabrication or external vendors
• Work with internal machine shops, fabrication teams, or external contractors to source and manufacture tooling
• Partner with Service and Commercial Operations teams to understand requirements and iterate on designs
• Inspect first articles, support field trials, and continuously improve tooling based on real-world feedback
• Maintain clear documentation including BOMs, assembly instructions, and maintenance guides

Requirements:

• 2–5 years of experience in mechanical engineering or tooling/fixture design
• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or similar field
• Proficient in 3D CAD software
• Experience designing and building prototypes
• Familiarity with common fabrication methods: sheet metal, welding, machining, 3D printing
• Ability to write and maintain clean documentation for design processes
• Strong communication skills - able to translate field team needs into engineering requirements
• Hands-on, pragmatic approach to problem solving

Bonus

Qualifications:

• Experience designing service tooling, ground support equipment, or maintenance fixtures
• Background in automotive, aerospace, or heavy equipment service environments
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or fabrication shops
• Vehicle upfitting or mobile workshop design experience
• Exposure to robotics, electromechanical systems, or complex assemblies

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $100,000 - $150,000 annually.
