Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.
We are looking for a Wire Harness Technician In summary, you will build production-quality wire harnesses from drawings/BOMs/work orders in a fast prototype and low-volume environment, meeting IPC/WHMA standards and delivery dates.
Responsibilities:
- Build build-to-print harnesses: cut, strip, crimp, solder, braid/sleeve, heat-shrink, basic potting, final terminations.
- Read and follow drawings, schematics, BOMs, work orders, and ECOs; record traceability in ERP/routers.
- Crimp and verify terminals/contacts (TE/AMP, Molex, JST, Amphenol/LEMO, etc.) with specified tooling; document pull tests when required.
- Print/apply labels and heat-shrink markers per print.
- Perform electrical tests: continuity, insulation/hipot, and basic troubleshooting with DMM/cable testers/fixtures.
- Execute rework to spec (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620) and support NCMR/MRB containment.
- Maintain 5S/ESD and safety; suggest process and DFM improvements.
**Requirements: **
- 2–5+ years building wire harnesses/cable assemblies in manufacturing or prototyping.
- Ability to read prints/schematics and follow work instructions with minimal supervision.
- Proficiency in crimping and soldering (selective tinning, shields/drain wires, coax/twisted pair).
- Hands-on with tooling: strippers, gauges, pull testers, manual/pneumatic crimpers (Daniels or similar), soldering stations, heat guns.
- Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Class 2/3) and familiarity with J-STD-001.
- Strong quality and schedule focus: high first-pass yield and low rework.
**Bonus Qualifications: **
- Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certifications.
- Experience with cable testers (e.g., Cirris) and basic fixture integration.
- Exposure to ECOs/NPI, fast-paced startup environments, and creating/maintaining SOPs.
- Basic comfort with CAD viewers for drawing review and with ERP for traceability.
- Bilingual English/Spanish.
