Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Figure as an employer.

What you need

  • Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field, with at least two years completed by the start of the internship
  • Availability for an 8–12-month internship with in-office collaboration five days per week
  • A portfolio, website, or project examples demonstrating relevant hands-on work and your individual contributions
  • Hands-on experience designing, assembling, and testing mechanical or electromechanical systems through coursework, personal projects, internships, or engineering teams
  • Familiarity with basic electrical circuits, wiring, sensors, and laboratory equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, or bench power supplies
  • Basic programming experience in Python or a similar language for equipment control, test automation, or data analysis, and familiarity with Git

Nice to have

  • Experience with mechanical CAD tools, particularly CATIA V6, or electrical schematic design tools
  • Experience with fixture design, 3D printing, machining, soldering, or other prototyping and fabrication methods
  • Experience integrating motors, motor controllers, load cells, encoders, thermocouples, or other test instrumentation
  • Familiarity with data acquisition systems and communication interfaces such as CAN, serial, USB, or Ethernet
  • Experience with Python-based test automation, data visualization, or Linux

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed for the internship position, only a range for full-time roles
  • Internship requires in-office work five days a week, which may not suit all candidates
