Full Job Description
At Foundation, we're pushing the bounds on Humanoid technology.
As we rapidly scale to meet demand, we're looking for a Hardware lead that can build on our existing work and continue to improve efficiency, manufacturability, and other key performance metrics.
The hardware lead will build and lead a cross-functional team spanning electrical systems, manufacturing design and build including Phantom's Body, Legs, Head and Torso.
This team will not only focus on current design optimization but also create new architectures through rapid prototyping and modeling.
What Kind of Person Are We Looking For:
A hands-on technical leader with strong design experience in Hardware systems for robotics, automotive, or aerospace (bonus if done in the context of high volume manufacturing)..
Robust understanding of electromechanical structures and systems, embedded firmware, communication protocols, sensor integration, and packaging.
A leader that is ready to dive into technical details and challenges related to mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and sourcing activities.
Mastery in 3D CAD software, simulation and analysis methodology (FEA, MATLAB, ANSYS, etc), GD&T, tolerance analysis, and technical communication.
Zeal for agile, startup-like operations with a bias for action to guide the actuator team in transformative robotics progress across all Foundation initiatives.
