At Foundational, we're building with people who want to own something — to do work that matters, in an environment where what you ship is what counts.
This is a place for people who want to build something that has never existed before and leave a clear mark on it.
These are the behavioral patterns that predict success here — in practice, under pressure.

This is a filter as much as it is an invitation.
We're turning reindustrialization from a talking point into an operating reality. The work is hard, the environment is demanding, and the stakes are real. We compensate with base, bonus, and equity to reflect impact, responsibility, and results, with meaningful upside for the people who help build and scale this company.
For those aligned with the mission and motivated by execution at scale, Foundational offers the opportunity to help define one of the most consequential industrial transformations of the next decade.
Foundational is building a network of AI-native, autonomous factories for modern contract manufacturing — reshoring critical supply chains so companies can produce high-quality products domestically, quickly, and at competitive cost. Recent breakthroughs in robotics and physical AI have shifted autonomous manufacturing from theoretical to deployable, and we're focused on operationalizing these capabilities at scale during a decisive decade for American industrial leadership.
We are looking for a Emulation & Digital Twin Engineer to build high-fidelity virtual machine tools and real-time factory emulators. In this role, you will be responsible for creating exact digital twins of CNC machining centers, sheet metal fabricators, and automated material handlers.
You will bridge the gap between deterministic machine logic (G-code, PLC signals, NC kernels) and NVIDIA’s accelerated physical AI ecosystem (Isaac Sim, Nemotron, and GR00T). Your work will enable us to completely simulate, optimize, and verify toolpaths, cycle times, robotic tending, and cognitive anomaly detection in a virtual factory environment before executing code on physical shop floors.
Foundational Industries is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, disability, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
Foundational complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We evaluate every candidate on what they can do and who they are.
