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 We Are Hiring for This Role :

  • Own the end-to-end design of custom PCBs for robotic hand controllers, including schematics, layout, and BOM selection.
  • Develop new custom force and tactile sensors for robotics with aggressive size and reliability requirements.
  • Design and evaluate embedded systems and mixed-signal circuits (MCUs, FPGAs, sensors, power, communications).
  • Collaborate with silicon partners to evaluate and integrate cutting-edge chips (e.g., motor drivers, IMUs, tactile sensors).
  • Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging using lab instruments and test infrastructure.
  • Guide junior engineers and review schematic / layout work to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance.
  • Drive continuous improvements in design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
  • Interface with firmware / software engineers to define board-level APIs and support hardware abstraction.
  • Support the transition from prototypes to production, working with contract manufacturers and test engineers.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies in embedded electronics, robotic sensing, and motor control.
  • What Kind of Person We Are Looking For :

  • Proven track record designing embedded systems (MCUs, DSPs, or FPGAs) in compact, high-reliability systems.
  • Experience with sensor integration (IMUs, force / tactile, encoders), motor control (BLDC, brushed, stepper), and power electronics.
  • Strong debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools.
  • Proficiency in ECAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Cadence.
  • Solid understanding of signal integrity, thermal management, and power distribution for compact electronics.
  • Familiarity with firmware interactions and embedded C / C++ is a plus.
  • Experience working on robotics, prosthetics, or haptics-related hardware.
  • Knowledge of silicon evaluation and working with early-stage chip vendors.
  • Experience with wireless communication (BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.) and secure hardware design.
  • Exposure to safety standards (IEC, ISO) and EMI / EMC compliance testing.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
