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

- 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.
