Job Description

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

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 the vehicle electrical system, from power distribution to harness integration.
  • Develop schematics, harness drawings, and PCB-level designs for subsystem interconnects.
  • Lead bench bring-up of sensors, actuators, and compute subsystems prior to vehicle integration.
  • Define and execute electrical validation tests (continuity, insulation, load testing, EMI checks).
  • Work closely with Mechanical Engineering on packaging and routing of harnesses.
  • Support system bring-up during assembly, troubleshoot electrical issues, and drive root-cause analysis.
  • Collaborate with Embedded / Software to ensure clean power, comms, and integration for all subsystems.
  • What Kind of Person We Are Looking For :

  • Experience with sensors, actuators, and communication buses (CAN, Ethernet).
  • 5–8+ years of experience in vehicle electrical systems, robotics, or related embedded hardware projects.
  • Strong background in power distribution, harnessing, and PCB-level design.
  • Hands-on experience debugging hardware in lab / bench settings.
  • Familiarity with grounding, shielding, and safety practices for LV and HV systems.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and hands-on in fast-paced prototyping environments.
  • BS / MS in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Benefits

    We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
