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 (Sie können sich bewerben oder uns per E-Mail kontaktieren in dem Sie die untenstehende Online-Bewerbungsbox verwenden)/culture
.

Who should join:

• 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:

• To build and maintain robust perception pipelines for our humanoid robots.
• To integrate state-of-the-art vision models with real-time control and decision-making.
• To ensure reliable scene understanding in diverse, real-world environments.
• To develop fast and accurate pipelines for visual grasping, navigation, and human-robot interaction.
• To support continuous learning from real-world deployment data.

What Kind of Person We Are Looking for:

• Strong background in computer vision, with a focus on deep learning-based methods.
• Hands-on experience with modern vision architectures (e.g. ViTs, SAM, DINO, Diffusion, Mask2
  
  Former,etc.).
• Proficient with visual SLAM, 6D pose estimation, object detection, and segmentation.
• Comfortable working with real-time video data on robots in uncontrolled environments.
• Experience integrating vision with action and control systems in robotics.
• Fluent in Python and PyTorch; C++ is a plus.
• Familiarity with ROS2, NVIDIA Isaac, or similar robotics frameworks.
• Can train, fine-tune, and evaluate large vision models, including with custom datasets.
• Understands sensor calibration, synchronization, and multi-camera setups.
• Collaborates well with AI, control, and hardware teams to close the loop from perception to action.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Vision, Robotics, or Machine Learning. PhD is a strong plus.

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

The annual compensation is expected to be between $80,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
