About the role

  • 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. As a founding member of our engineering

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain a cloud-based backend for planning, scheduling, execution, inventory, traceability, and telemetry
  • Design multi-compute environment architectures spanning embedded, on-prem, and cloud systems
  • Build PB-scale visual data pipelines for ingesting, curating, indexing, and preparing manufacturing data
  • Design container orchestration and microservices architectures for ML infrastructure
  • Implement workflow orchestration and data lifecycle management
  • Design systems that tolerate intermittent connectivity and degraded network modes
  • Build observability: metrics, logging, tracing, runbooks
  • Maintain high uptime in industrial production environments

Nice to have

  • Experience in manufacturing, robotics, or industrial systems
  • Ability to obtain a government security clearance
  • Experience working on projects related to the Department of Defense (DoD)
  • Help define the software backbone of an AI-native factory
  • Work across robotics, ML infrastructure, and industrial systems
  • Grow into larger technical ownership over time
  • Growth Opportunities

Skills

  • Orders → Schedules
  • Schedules → Work instructions
  • Work → Telemetry
  • Telemetry → Continuously improving throughput, quality, and cost
  • Cloud-based backend systems
  • On-prem factory services
  • Embedded-to-cloud data flows
  • Petabyte-scale visual data pipelines
  • Machine learning infrastructure across multiple compute environments
  • Cloud + On-Prem Architecture
  • Implement infrastructure-as-code using Terraform
  • Ensure secure, reliable data movement between factory floor and cloud

Compensation

  • $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.

  • This role is not robotics engineering.
  • It is for senior software engineers who build the cloud + on-prem systems that run the factory, and the data backbone that makes those systems observable, reliable, and scalable.
  • We are also hiring Robotics Research Engineers separately-this is a different role.
