Job description
**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. As a founding member of our engineering team, you will have a direct and significant impact on our product, culture, and ultimate success.
Our wedge isn’t just “models.” It’s the software layer that turns:
* Orders Schedules
* Schedules Work instructions
* Work Telemetry
* Telemetry Continuously improving throughput, quality, and cost
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.
**The Role**
We are hiring a **Senior Software Engineer (IC)** to build the backend systems and infrastructure that power the factory of the future.
You will design and implement:
* 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
You will build production systems that stay online when factories are noisy, connectivity is imperfect, and downtime costs real money.
This is a hands\-on engineering role. You will ship.
**Key Responsibilities**
* **Cloud \+ On\-Prem Architecture**
+ Build and maintain a **cloud\-based backend** for planning, scheduling, execution, inventory,
