Why We Are Hiring for This Role:
Shifts
7 AM - 3 PM
3 PM -11 PM
This role is a bit unique: right now, you'll be performing the physical tasks that our humanoid robots will eventually take over. As our robots come online, you'll transition into operating and monitoring them directly. In the meantime, you're essentially doing the job the robot will one day do, giving you a front-row seat to how the technology evolves.
- Perform the manual tasks currently required in the production process, which will eventually be handled by humanoid robots.
- As robots are deployed, transition into operating them in a manufacturing environment, including using the control panel when required.
- Monitor robot performance during production to ensure consistent operation.
- Perform basic autonomous maintenance on humanoid robots (cleaning, inspections, routine checks) as they come online.
- Identify and troubleshoot minor operational issues; escalate complex problems to engineering or maintenance teams.
- Follow all safety procedures and company standards to ensure a safe working environment.
- Collaborate with supervisors, engineers, and technicians to support smooth production flow.
What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:
If you have a college degree, are a hard worker, and are sharp and quick to learn, this could be a great opportunity for you, even without direct robotics experience.
- College degree preferred; motivated candidates with a strong work ethic and quick learning ability are encouraged to apply.
- Prior experience operating manufacturing equipment, robotic systems, or automated machinery is a plus, but not required.
- Strong understanding of, or willingness to learn, industrial safety practices and compliance requirements.
- Ability to perform routine maintenance, adjustments, and inspections.
- Solid problem-solving and communication skills for effective reporting and escalation.
- Basic understanding of mechanical, electrical, or mechatronic systems is a plus.
What We Offer:
- Competitive pay with full benefits
- Equity/stock
- A front-row opportunity to grow alongside our humanoid robotics program, from manual operations to robot supervision
Working Conditions:
- Requires standing, walking, and performing physical tasks for extended periods.
- Full-time, on-site role in a manufacturing setting.
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 $50,000-55,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
About Us
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. 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.
- 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.
