We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.

We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.

About the Role - Manufacturing Software Engineer

We're hiring a mid-level software engineer to build the distributed systems that connect our production equipment to MES and our enterprise stack. You'll work on the SCADA/equipment-integration layer — acquiring data over OPC-UA and other industrial protocols, normalizing it, and delivering it reliably into MES under real-world floor conditions — as well as the microservices that integrate our ERP and PLM systems.

This is a hands-on engineering role on a small team. You'll design and implement services, care about concurrency and performance, and stand behind your code on a live production floor. You'll work closely with senior engineers who own the broader architecture, contributing strong distributed-systems engineering to it.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

• Build Go services in a microservice architecture that acquire equipment data (OPC-UA and other industrial protocols), normalize it, and publish it to MES and downstream consumers

• Engineer for high concurrency and high throughput — many stations and signals streaming simultaneously, with low-latency, backpressure-aware processing

• Build and maintain the ERP/PLM integration microservices that sync work orders, BOMs, routings, part/revision data, and as-built/genealogy records between the floor and enterprise systems

• Build event-driven data pipelines feeding a cloud data lake for production and quality analytics

• Add observability — metrics, tracing, alerting — so service health and equipment connectivity are visible, not silent

• Contribute to internal tooling and dashboards that surface production and quality data

What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

• 2–3 years of professional software engineering experience building production backend / systems software

• Strong distributed systems fundamentals — concurrency, consistency models, idempotency, message delivery semantics, fault tolerance

• Experience designing and operating microservice architectures in production

• Proficiency in Go (or a strong systems-language background with demonstrated ability to ship in Go)

• Comfortable engineering for high concurrency and high performance — profiling, contention, throughput/latency trade-offs

• Hands-on manufacturing / shop floor software experience — you've worked on or adjacent to production lines

• ERP and/or PLM background — you've integrated with systems like SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics, Teamcenter, Windchill, Arena, etc.

• Working knowledge of SCADA / MES concepts and industrial communication, especially OPC-UA (Modbus, MQTT, PLC interfaces a plus)

• Self-directed, communicative, and effective in a fast-moving startup environment

• Able to work on-site in Burlingame, CA

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with OPC-UA client/server implementations and industrial data acquisition at scale

• Experience with event streaming infrastructure (Kafka, Kinesis, NATS, etc.) and time-series data

• Experience building or operating a data lake / lakehouse and modern ELT pipelines

• Familiarity with traceability/genealogy systems in a quality-driven manufacturing context

• AWS / Kubernetes (EKS) operational experience

• Background in batteries, energy storage, or other hardware-adjacent manufacturing
