Jobs at Foundation Robotics

Lead mechanical design and ownership for a humanoid robotics platform, spanning actuators, battery, embedded electronics, structures, and harnessing. Drive design for manufacturability, reliability, cost, and performance; mentor engineers; define architecture and collaborate with AI, software, electrical, and manufacturing teams to scale production.

Lead software bring-up and integration for robot hardware, develop and maintain automated and HIL test frameworks, validate firmware/middleware/control modules, execute functional/performance tests across robotic subsystems, and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to debug and document procedures for continuous testing and deployment.

Develop and run comprehensive test plans and automated test frameworks for humanoid robots and subsystems. Perform functional, regression, stress, HIL and field testing; troubleshoot and document defects; collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and AI teams; ensure safety standard compliance; and maintain test infrastructure, benches, simulations, and records to improve product reliability.

Lead Foundation's communications and brand narrative across technical and mainstream audiences. Build cohesive storytelling across product, design, interfaces, and media. Partner with AI, robotics, hardware, and software teams to craft emotionally resonant, technically accurate stories that drive virality, investor confidence, and talent attraction.

Lead mechanical design of high-performance rotary actuators across concept, prototyping, testing, validation, and production. Optimize torque density, efficiency, packaging, reliability, and manufacturability while collaborating with motor, controls, electronics, and manufacturing teams.

Lead technical evaluations for custom inference chips in robotics, analyze bottlenecks, define architecture, and guide RTL prototyping while delivering reports with strategic recommendations.

Develop, optimize, and maintain embedded systems for humanoid robots, focusing on seamless hardware and software integration and AI-driven control strategies.

Lead the development of embedded systems for autonomous vehicles, integrating sensors, software, and hardware while ensuring safety and performance standards.

Provide high-touch personal and executive support to the President: manage calendar and appointments, arrange domestic and international travel, run errands, coordinate home and pet care, handle light correspondence, maintain confidentiality, and anticipate needs with minimal direction.

Assemble, test, and bring up humanoid robotic subsystems and full systems; interpret drawings and wiring diagrams; troubleshoot electromechanical issues; support prototyping, validation, documentation (BOMs, work instructions), and partner with supply chain and operations.

Design and optimize reinforcement learning algorithms for robot control, integrate policies into robot platforms, and collaborate across teams for hardware-software integration.

Responsible for designing and developing vehicle body structures for an autonomous ATV, ensuring performance across extreme conditions using CAD and FEA tools, and collaborating with team members on integrated vehicle architectures.

Develop and maintain software ecosystem for robots, implement system services applications, and bridge software layers for effective feature development.

The Chief Designer will lead the design vision for human-centric robotics, ensuring intuitive experiences and emotional connections through innovative design principles and collaboration.

Manage the full cycle of technical recruiting, including sourcing and closing candidates for senior engineering and research roles while ensuring a positive candidate experience.
