University & Early Talent Recruiter

About Us

Foundry Robotics is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. Basically, we're building robots that build robots. Our mission is to rebuild the American manufacturing industry as an AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use contract manufacturer. As a founding member of our team, you will have a direct and significant impact on our product, culture, and ultimate success. This role is based in our Emeryville, CA office, but travel is required for this role.

The Role

The supply of experienced robotics talent is finite and every company in this category is calling the same people. Our durable edge has to be that we are great at discovering the undiscovered — and early talent is the highest-leverage version of that. The best mechanical engineer we hire in 2029 is twenty years old right now, rebuilding a Formula SAE suspension in a university garage at 2am.

We already run interns. What we do not have is a program: a defined loop, projects that produce real signal, trained mentors, and a conversion rate we can predict. This role exists to build that, and to make a Foundry internship the best engineering summer in the country.
