About the role

  • You will define the data roadmap-architecture, governance, lifecycle, and tooling-and be the person the rest of the engineering org depends on for clean, reliable, well-modeled data.
  • You will also contribute to backend services where data meets application logic.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate PB-scale data pipelines for ingesting, curating, indexing, and preparing manufacturing, visual, and telemetry data
  • Implement reliable data movement across embedded, edge, on-prem, and cloud compute environments
  • Build streaming and batch processing systems that handle high-throughput factory-floor data in real time
  • Implement data lifecycle management: retention, archival, compaction, and cost optimization at scale
  • Define and own the Factory OS data roadmap-architecture, governance, quality, and tooling strategy
  • Design data models, schemas, and contracts that serve application, ML, and analytics consumers
  • Drive data quality standards: validation, monitoring, alerting, and anomaly detection
  • Partner with ML engineers to ensure training and inference pipelines have access to clean, well-prepared datasets
  • build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
  • If you want to build the commercial engine that brings AI-driven manufacturing to every industrial and energy customer in America - this is it.

Requirements

  • Between 5-7 years of experience in data engineering, with demonstrated work at terabyte-to-petabyte scale
  • Deep hands-on experience with data pipeline frameworks (Spark, Flink, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, or similar)
  • Experience designing data architectures spanning streaming, batch, lakehouse, and warehouse patterns
  • Experience with cloud data services (AWS S3/Glue/Redshift, GCP BigQuery/Dataflow, or Azure equivalents)
  • Experience with visual or image data pipelines at scale (video ingestion, frame extraction, annotation workflows)
  • Familiarity with ML data preparation workflows (feature stores, dataset versioning, labeling pipelines)
  • Experience with edge-to-cloud data architectures and intermittent connectivity patterns

Nice to have

  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
  • backend experience in Go, Java, or TypeScript is a plus

Skills

  • Evaluate and adopt data technologies (warehouses, lakehouses, streaming platforms) as the platform scales
  • Contribute to backend services where data pipelines meet application logic (APIs, event-driven systems, database layers)

Compensation

  • The base salary range for this full-time position in the location of
  • $150,000-$250,000 USD

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, and generous PTO.
  • Compensation packages at Foundry Robotics for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits.
  • Foundry Robotics employees in eligible roles are also granted equity based compensation, subject to Board of Director approval.

Company info

  • 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. Basically, we're building robots that build robots.
  • We are reimagining manufacturing through advanced robotics. Our mission is to rebuild the American manufacturing industry as an AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use contract manufacturer. We aim to empower manufacturers with intelligent, efficient, and adaptable robotic systems that redefine productivity and quality.
  • We are hiring a Sr Data Engineer / Data Lead to own the data layer that powers Factory OS. You will design and operate petabyte-scale data pipelines that ingest visual, telemetry, and manufacturing data from the factory floor, move it reliably across edge, on-prem, and cloud environments, and make it available for ML training, analytics, and operational decision-making. You will define the data roadmap-architecture, governance, lifecycle, and tooling-and be the person the rest of the engineering org depends on for clean, reliable, well-modeled data. You will also contribute to backend services where data meets application logic. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will ship.
