About the role

PART-TIME Contractor. Software engineering internship in Redwood City. $2000/month. Designed for students in school currently.

Software isn't dead, it's more alive than ever. You just need to know where to look. Orchestration is one of the biggest problems in a manufacturing ecosystem, and we need more bright minds working on the problem. Foundation Industries is looking to bring two software engineers on as interns to help us solve orchestration at scale.

This role can transition into a full-time summer internship, and there is potential to grow into full-time SWEs.

Ideal candidates have a sharp eye for UI/UX. You will build software that works hand-in-hand with our manufacturing operations. You’ll work on our customer facing platform and create tools that directly support our team on the production floor. We are looking to move fast, so if you're currently @stanford or @UCBerkeley and are questioning what your career in SWE could look like, apply below.

About Foundation Industries

America once turned breakthroughs into abundant products with unmatched speed. Our edge wasn’t just invention; it was the ability to prototype, iterate, and scale production faster than anyone else.

Over time, we kept inventing but lost production velocity. High-volume manufacturing moved offshore, and low-volume, high-mix production became slow, fragmented, and burdened by overhead, quoting, programming, scheduling, and coordination. For decades, fixing this wasn’t economical. The indirect workaround costs more than the production itself.

That constraint is no longer.

New tools now automate the cognitive layers that once slowed everything down, collapsing weeks into days and turning overhead into code.

For the first time in decades, fast, flexible domestic production can be economically superior. We’re rebuilding America’s productive edge by accelerating high-tech, low-volume, high-mix manufacturing, helping hard-tech teams prototype faster, launch sooner, and build more here.

If you want to restore American productive power and ship real hardware, reach out.
