About Foundation :
Foundation is developing the future of general purpose robotics and electric mobility with the goal to save lives and augment human labor.
Our mission is to create an autonomous, crewless ATV built to be truly all-terrain. Designed for commercial and defense use, it can save lives and take on heavy transport across mining, agriculture, construction, and more.
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 We Are Hiring for This Role :
Design, test, and integrate electric motors, gearboxes, and drivetrain componentsDevelop and validate custom electromechanical actuatorsSupport prototype builds with hands-on fabrication, test setups, and troubleshootingCreate and maintain CAD models, drawings, and documentation for mechanical subsystemsCollaborate with electrical, software, and controls engineers to integrate hardware into complete vehicle systemsAnalyze test data to guide design improvements and ensure system reliability in rugged off-road conditionsContribute to rapid prototyping and iteration cycles, from R&D concepts to field deploymentWhat Kind of Person We Are Looking For :
