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.
We're taking on one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics: building hands that actually work like human hands.
As an Electrical Engineer on our Humanoid Hands Team, you'll design and develop the mechanical architectures, joints, structures, and tendon-driven actuation systems that bring true dexterous manipulation to life in the real world.

You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in.
Experience with sensor integration (IMUs, force/tactile, encoders), motor control (BLDC, brushed, stepper), and power electronics.
Proficiency in ECAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Cadence.
Experience with wireless communication (BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.) and secure hardware design.
Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Guide junior engineers and review schematic/layout work to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance.
Stay up to date with emerging technologies in embedded electronics, robotic sensing, and motor control.

Benefits We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.) and equity.
Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

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.
