SeniorDataEngineer-DataLead

ABOUT US 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. THE ROLE 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. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Petabyte-Scale Data Pipelines - 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 Data Architecture + Roadmap - 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 ana
