Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to architect, build, and maintain the complex, real-time data streams generated by our fleet of mobile and static robots. This role manages video, telemetry, and sensor data, ensuring low-latency processing for real-time monitoring, efficient debugging, and training of machine learning models.

Due to the nature of the projects, applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62. This includes U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees.

Primary duties include:

• Design, build, and optimize high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines using cloud (Azure) and on-prem services, specialized for streaming and time-series data.
• Manage and process data generated from robot telemetry (position, velocity, battery life, etc.).
• Develop solutions for efficient ingestion, storage, and retrieval of high-resolution video and Lidar point cloud data.
• Facilitate efficient access to data for R&D teams.
• Work with software engineers to define data formats and communication protocols for transmission from the robot to the cloud.
• Implement mechanisms for dealing with intermittent connectivity and ensuring data completeness.

Required

Skills and Experience:

• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in a Data Engineering role, with significant focus on real-time or streaming data.
• Experience with data storage services, including cloud-based (e.g., Azure Data Lake) and self-hosted.
• Expert-level proficiency in Python and data query languages.
• Experience with streaming data processing frameworks.
• Experience with time-series databases.

Preferred Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, particularly within robotics, IoT, or autonomous systems.
• Experience handling and processing video data at scale.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes for deploying scalable processing applications.
• Knowledge of geospatial data (GIS) processing and mapping libraries.
• Strong understanding of networking concepts and low-latency data transfer protocols relevant to robotics.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree (Required)

Work Location: In person

Application Question(s):

• Are you a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62. This includes U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees.
