Atlas Controls Reliability, Senior Data Engineer

Job description

Boston Dynamics is scaling the Atlas humanoid fleet to push the limits of generalist robotics. As we transition to a large-scale fleet, the Controls Reliability Team serves as a Technical Force Multiplier. In this role, you will be an architect for mission-critical failure analysis data pipelines.

Job responsibilities

  • Relentlessly Improve Data-quality: Combine high-rate robot telemetry data, fleet-wide diagnostics, and operational metadata, into a robust pipeline for Failure Analysis.
  • Software & Tooling Development: Develop automated diagnostic tools to transition the fleet from manual troubleshooting to proactive, automated health monitoring.
  • Scalable Diagnostics: Maintain automated diagnostic suites, and other off-robot systems, to provide actionable feedback for hardware and software teams.
  • Cross-functional Reporting: Partner with stakeholders, from all levels of the organization, to understand requirements and improve reporting mechanisms.

Job requirements

  • Technical Expert: Proficient in Python and SQL, with experience building multi-source pipelines, diagnostic utilities, and automated analysis tools.
  • Data Driven: You naturally reach for the data to answer questions or derive new insights. Additionally, you rigorously compare the data to the ground truth.
  • Clear Communicator: You excel at translating technical "noise" into structured reports and procedures for diverse engineering and operational partners.
  • Technically Fearless: You are motivated by solving ambiguous problems and building novel solutions, across the entire failure reporting and analysis pipeline.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, ME/EE, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • At least one year of professional experience in robotics, hardware reliability (SRE), data engineering, or high-level technical support for electromechanical systems.
  • Proven experience building and debugging complex systems, using analytics, telemetry logs, and diagnostic tools.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for system analysis and tool development.
