Generalist AI is a robotics foundation model laboratory building general purpose manipulation systems that transfer across tasks and hardware. Its research combines large scale robot data collection with learned policies, aiming at the dexterity needed for everyday physical work rather than narrow industrial automation. The company was founded by researchers from leading robot learning groups and develops both the models and the data collection stack; its founders previously led embodied intelligence research at major industrial laboratories.

HQ: Foster City, United States • Ride Hailing • Automotive Manufacturing • Smart Mobility • Autonomous Driving • 1001-5000 employees • Est. 2014 • Trust B • Hiring 232, 12 new
Zoox is an American autonomous vehicle company founded in 2014 that designs a purpose-built robotaxi rather than retrofitting an existing car. Its vehicle has no steering wheel or driver position, seats four passengers facing each other, drives equally well in either direction and was developed alongside the sensors, compute and software that operate it, which required the company to certify the design under its own self-certification of federal motor vehicle safety standards. Amazon acquired the company in 2020 and it has since begun public robotaxi service in Las Vegas and San Francisco while testing in several other American cities.

HQ: London, United Kingdom • Industrial Robotics • Logistics & Warehouse Robotics • Robotics AI • Humanoid Robots • 201-500 employees • Est. 2024 • Startup • Trust B • Hiring 93, 2 new
Humanoid is a British robotics company founded in 2024 that is developing general-purpose humanoid robots for industrial and logistics work. Its argument for a human form is practical rather than aesthetic: warehouses, factories and buildings were designed around human reach, stride and grip, so a robot shaped like a person can be deployed without rebuilding the environment around it. Headquartered in London and backed by venture investors, it is developing both a wheeled and a bipedal platform and competes with considerably better-funded American and Chinese efforts in the same field.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

1,034 of the 1,076 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - defence drones and export-controlled autonomy work often do - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which robotics companies hire most?

AgiBot (103), Waymo (82), Intuitive Surgical (38), DJI (38), Zoox (33).

Which employers count as robotics companies?

Companies whose main business is robots - industrial and warehouse automation, surgical and service robots, humanoids, drones and autonomous vehicles, and the makers of their sensors, actuators and robot software - and every role whose title names robotics work at any employer.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
