About The Position

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. The company is reimagining manufacturing through advanced robotics with the mission to rebuild the American manufacturing industry as an AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use contract manufacturer. They aim to empower manufacturers with intelligent, efficient, and adaptable robotic systems that redefine productivity and quality. As a founding member of the engineering team, the Technical Sourcer will have a direct and significant impact on the product, culture, and ultimate success of the company. This role is critical to building the foundation of the company, owning the top of the funnel for some of the hardest-to-fill roles in robotics, AI, and manufacturing. The company is building a high-caliber technical team in a highly competitive market, and the Technical Sourcer will be responsible for finding and engaging exceptional builders, often before they are actively looking. This is not a resume-pushing role, but one that requires taste, curiosity, and persistence in building real relationships with candidates who want to work on real-world systems in a 0→1 environment.

Requirements

3–6+ years of technical sourcing experience (startup experience a must)
Maintain strong recruiting hygiene by accurately documenting all sourcing and recruiting activity in the ATS (Ashby).
Enjoy the puzzle of finding people others can’t.
