About the role

Foundation Robotics seeks a Chief Designer to own end-to-end design vision for our general-purpose robots, crafting human-centric experiences from unboxing to servicing. You will shape brand identity, robot form factors, interfaces, motion, and product ecosystems, ensuring joyful, trusted interactions. You will lead multidisciplinary teams across industrial design, UX/UI, motion, brand, and service design; collaborate with AI, hardware, and software to deliver human-friendly robotics at scale.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
