Full Stack Engineer, Manufacturing Data Platform

Job description

Full Stack Engineer, Manufacturing Data Platform

Hayward, CA (on-site)

About 1X

We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role

Our Manufacturing Data Platform is the backbone of robot traceability - capturing every component, calibration, and telemetry reading from factory birth through the entire product lifecycle. We need a versatile engineer who can own this platform end-to-end.

As a Full Stack Engineer on the Manufacturing Data Platform, you will be the technical backbone of our Industrial Data Platform (IDP) - owning everything from edge data ingestion to cloud APIs to technician-facing applications. You'll design database schemas, build real-time telemetry pipelines, implement secure authentication, and create intuitive interfaces for factory technicians and end users. This role requires someone who can context-switch between backend services, frontend applications, data architecture, and security implementation.

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive on ownership and breadth - you'll touch every layer of the stack and see your work directly impact robot manufacturing quality.

You Will

Backend Development

Design and build RESTful APIs and WebSocket services using FastAPI on GCP Cloud Run

Implement recording mode orchestration : trigger self-checks, capture telemetry, manage session lifecycle

Build configuration push / pull APIs with version control and rollback capability

Create data pipelines for high-frequency telemetry ingestion (200Hz, 350KB / s per robot)

Frontend Development

Build Progressive Web App (PWA) for factory technicians : QR scanning, robot diagnostics, recording controls

Create admin dashboards for fleet management, user administration, and audit log viewing

Implement real-time telemetry visualization with WebSocket integration (

Design mobile-first interfaces optimized for factory floor use (large touch targets, high contrast)

Data Architecture

Design and optimize database schemas : Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) for relational data, Bigtable for time-series telemetry

Architect data storage strategy : immutable data (OTP), versioned calibration (EEPROM sync), time-series streaming

Build the robot genealogy system linking components, calibration, and manufacturing events

Implement data lifecycle management from EOL Data Fusion Station through product lifecycle

Security & Infrastructure

Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication using Google Identity Platform

Design and enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) : Viewer, Technician, Engineer, Admin, End User

Configure TLS / mTLS for edge-to-cloud communication

Build comprehensive audit logging for compliance and traceability

Manage infrastructure using Terraform and CI / CD pipelines with Cloud Build

Integration & Edge

Integrate with MQTT Sparkplug B for edge gateway communication via EMQX broker

Design store-and-forward patterns for offline data buffering on edge gateways

Build synchronization logic between local robot storage (EEPROM) and cloud databases

Collaborate with Robot OS teams on telemetry schemas and command protocols

Job requirements

Must Have

5+ years of software engineering experience spanning backend and frontend development

Strong proficiency in Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy) and TypeScript (React, Next.js )

Experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) : Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub / Sub, BigQuery

Solid understanding of database design : relational modeling, time-series databases, query optimization

Experience with real-time systems : WebSockets, message queues, or streaming pipelines

Understanding of authentication and authorization : OAuth 2.0, JWT, RBAC implementation

Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI / CD pipelines

Ability to work independently and own projects end-to-end

Nice to Have

Experience with MQTT, Sparkplug B, or industrial IoT protocols

Background in manufacturing, robotics, or hardware data systems

Experience with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and offline-first design

Familiarity with time-series databases (Bigtable, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB)

Experience with data visualization libraries ( D3.js , Recharts, ECharts)

Understanding of edge computing : NVIDIA Jetson, industrial gateways

Experience with 3D visualization ( Three.js ) for robot status monitoring

Security certifications or experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2)

Benefits & Compensation

Salary Range : $180,000 – $227,000 + Equity

Health, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with company match
