San Francisco, CA, United States Foundation Robotics Full time
About Foundation:

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 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:
  • As an Assembly Technician on our manufacturing team, you will play a key role in assembling, testing, and finalizing robotic systems. You will work across multiple shifts in a high-energy, fast-paced environment, collaborating closely with mechanical, electrical and software teams. This is a hands-on role requiring attention to detail, high quality standards, and the ability to work efficiently within a startup culture.
What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:
  • Assemble mechanical and electromechanical components of robotic systems according to build recipes, blueprints, and work instructions.
  • Perform wiring, cable harnesses, connectors, pneumatic/hydraulic fittings as required.
  • Install and mount motors, sensors, actuators, control boards into robot subsystems.
  • Collaborate with engineering and operations to troubleshoot assembly issues; escalate as needed.
  • Perform functional tests, quality checks and validation of sub-assemblies and final units.
  • Log assembly data, track component usage, document build steps and results in our manufacturing tracking system.
  • Support multi-shift manufacturing operations (including evening/night/weekend shifts) and flexible scheduling.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace; adhere to safety protocols and lean manufacturing practices.
  • Continuously improve assembly processes: propose efficiencies, participate in process improvement initiatives.
  • Assist with inventory organization, parts staging, and support for manufacturing flow as needed.
Minimum Requirements:
  • High School diploma or equivalent.
  • 1-2 years of hands-on assembly experience in a manufacturing, robotics, electromechanical or similar environment.
  • Comfort working with mechanical tools, hand tools, power screwdrivers, torque wrenches, etc.
  • Basic understanding of electrical wiring, cables, connectors; ability to follow wiring diagrams.
  • Strong attention to detail and quality mindset: able to identify defects, verify assembly meets specifications.
  • Willingness to work multiple shifts and flexible schedule (e.g., evenings, nights, weekends as required).
  • Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to [e.g., 50 lbs], work in a shop/manufacturing environment.
  • Self-starter with a collaborative team attitude and ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Associate's degree or certificate in manufacturing technology, electronics, mechatronics, or similar discipline.
  • Prior experience assembling robotics, automation systems, or complex electromechanical devices.
  • Experience with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, or Kaizen practices.
  • Familiarity with reading mechanical drawings, wiring schematics and work instructions.
  • Experience working in a multi-shift assembly operation.
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 $65,000 - $80,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
