About the role

Your previous experience in robotics isn't a prerequisite - it's your talent and determination that truly count.
We expect that many of our team members will bring diverse perspectives from various industries and fields.
Who should join: You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.

You care about aesthetics and design inside out.
Collaborate with mechanical, perception, and embedded systems teams to ensure tight integration between hardware and software.
Analyze and optimize control performance with a focus on robustness, energy efficiency, and adaptability.

You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in.
Hands-on experience with physics simulation environments (e.g., MuJoCo, Isaac Lab).
Proficiency in Python and C++ for algorithm development and deployment.
Strong understanding of classical and modern control theory, locomotion dynamics, etc.
Experience with high-performance computing for distributed training.

2+ years of experience in machine learning (NNs, LVMs) and reinforcement learning applied to robotics or similar realtime environments.
Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).
Benefits We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.).
Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
Design, develop, and optimize reinforcement learning algorithms for real-time control and locomotion of humanoid robots.
Apply advanced techniques such as curriculum learning, domain randomization, and sim2real transfer to improve policy generalization.

Foundation is developing the future of general purpose robotics with the goal to address the labor shortage.
Our mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.
We are on the lookout for extraordinary engineers and scientists to join our team.
We are looking for individuals with a proven record of exceptional ability and a history of creating things that work.
Our Culture We like to be frank and honest about who we are, so that people can decide for themselves if this is a culture they resonate with.
Please read more about our culture here https://foundation.bot/culture.
You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to "fix" it.
