Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication with patients and multidisciplinary teams are essential soft skills. These competencies are crucial to innovating and delivering precise, patient-centered prosthetic solutions that restore mobility and function.

What is a robotic prosthetics?

A Robotic Prosthetics job involves designing, developing, and maintaining advanced prosthetic limbs with robotic functionality. Professionals in this field work at the intersection of biomedical engineering, robotics, and healthcare to create prosthetics that enhance mobility and usability for individuals with limb loss. They may collaborate with doctors, therapists, and patients to ensure proper fit and functionality. Skills in programming, mechanical design, and biomechanics are often required.

What are some common challenges faced in a robotic prosthetics role?

Professionals in Robotic Prosthetics frequently encounter the challenge of designing custom solutions that meet the unique anatomical and functional needs of each patient while ensuring device reliability and comfort. Staying up-to-date with evolving technologies and integrating them into existing workflows can also be demanding. Additionally, collaborating with healthcare providers, rehabilitation specialists, and patients requires strong interpersonal skills to ensure devices are both effective and user-friendly. Overcoming these challenges is a rewarding part of the job, as it directly contributes to improving patients' quality of life and independence.

Job description

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:
  • Develop new custom force and tactile sensors for robotics with aggressive size and reliability requirements.
  • Design and evaluate embedded systems and mixed-signal circuits (MCUs, FPGAs, sensors, power, communications).
  • Collaborate with silicon partners to evaluate and integrate cutting-edge chips (e.g. encoders, IMUs, tactile sensors).
  • Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging using lab instruments and test infrastructure.
  • Guide junior engineers and review schematic/layout work to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance.
  • Drive continuous improvements in design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
  • Interface with firmware/software engineers to define board-level APIs and support hardware abstraction.
  • Support the transition from prototypes to production, working with contract manufacturers and test engineers.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies in embedded electronics, robotic sensing, and motor control.

What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:
  • Experience with sensor integration (IMUs, force/tactile, encoders), motor control (BLDC, brushed, stepper), and power electronics.
  • Proven track record designing embedded systems (MCUs, DSPs, or FPGAs) in compact, high-reliability systems.
  • Strong debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools.
  • Proficiency in ECAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Cadence.
  • Solid understanding of signal integrity, thermal management, and power distribution for compact electronics.
  • Familiarity with firmware interactions and embedded C/C++ is a plus.
  • Experience working on robotics, prosthetics, or haptics-related hardware.
  • Knowledge of silicon evaluation and working with early-stage chip vendors.
  • Experience with wireless communication (BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.) and secure hardware design.
  • Exposure to safety standards (IEC, ISO) and EMI/EMC compliance testing.
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

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

Salary
  • The annual compensation is expected to be between $180,000 - $300,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
