About Us:
Foundation is developing the future of general purpose robotics with the goal t
o 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. 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

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:
- To develop and optimize the control systems that enable precise, smooth, and safe motion in our humanoid robots.
- To bridge the gap between AI-generated action models and the robot’s physical execution by designing robust motion planning and lower-level control architectures.
- To create full-body controllers that seamlessly integrate inputs from action models with real-time feedback, ensuring high performance in complex environments.
- To ensure our robots can execute tasks reliably, from manipulation to locomotion, while maintaining stability and efficiency.
- To scale our controls stack for deployment across various robot configurations, supporting a wide range of customer applications.
What Kind of Person are We looking for:
Benefits
We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
Salary
The annual compensation is expected to be between $180,000 - $280,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience.
