Overview

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. 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. 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.

Who should join

  • You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.
  • You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
  • You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
  • You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.
  • You don\'t need someone to motivate you; you get things done.

Why are We Hiring for this Role

  • Design and develop mechanical components and enclosures for robotic systems, with emphasis on supporting electronic and electrical hardware.
  • Design mechanical structures for power distribution systems, including cable routing, connectors, and protective housings.
  • Integrate EtherCAT communication and DC power buses within mechanical assemblies, ensuring signal integrity and mechanical protection.
  • Lead the mechanical design of battery enclosures, including thermal management, structural safety, and serviceability.
  • Create detailed CAD models and drawings for prototyping, fabrication, and assembly.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration.
  • Perform thermal, structural, and environmental analysis of designs.
  • Support assembly, testing, and debugging of robotic platforms.
  • Maintain design documentation and participate in design reviews.
  • What Kind of Person are We looking for

  • Proficient in 3D CAD tools
  • Hands-on experience with power distribution systems and communication interfaces (preferably EtherCAT).
  • Proven experience in battery pack mechanical design, including packaging, safety, and integration.
  • Understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with environmental sealing (IP ratings), vibration isolation, and EMI considerations.
  • Experience with mass mfg processes (casting, injection molding, stamping, etc)
  • Experience in thermal management for electronics.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design for electronics or electromechanical systems.
  • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

    The annual compensation is expected to be between $100,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
