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.\nWhat You’ll Do\nRelentlessly Improve Data-quality: Combine high-rate robot telemetry data, fleet-wide diagnostics, and operational metadata, into a robust pipeline for Failure Analysis.\nSoftware & Tooling Development: Develop automated diagnostic tools to transition the fleet from manual troubleshooting to proactive, automated health monitoring.\nScalable Diagnostics: Maintain automated diagnostic suites, and other off-robot systems, to provide actionable feedback for hardware and software teams.\nCross-functional Reporting: Partner with stakeholders, from all levels of the organization, to understand requirements and improve reporting mechanisms.\nWho You Are\nTechnical Expert: Proficient in Python and SQL, with experience building multi-source pipelines, diagnostic utilities, and automated analysis tools.\nData Driven: You naturally reach for the data to answer questions or derive new insights. Additionally, you rigorously compare the data to the ground truth.\nClear Communicator: You excel at translating technical \"noise\" into structured reports and procedures for diverse engineering and operational partners.\nTechnically Fearless: You are motivated by solving ambiguous problems and building novel solutions, across the entire failure reporting and analysis pipeline. Additionally, you are excited by learning about, debugging, and resolving failure modes in the Atlas controls domain.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Robotics, ME/EE, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.\nAt least one year of professional experience in robotics, hardware reliability (SRE), data engineering, or high-level technical support for electromechanical systems.\nProven experience building and debugging complex systems, using analytics, telemetry logs, and diagnostic tools.\nProficiency in Python and SQL for system analysis and tool development.\nExperience with data warehousing and visualization tools, such as Snowflake and Looker respectively.\nFamiliarity with C++, in the context of real-time embedded systems or robotics.\nAbility to work onsite at our Waltham facility for direct interaction with teams and robots.\nNice to Have\nExperience with Jira, and Jira Automation, for project management, issue tracking, and reporting.\nExperience with Bazel, Google Test infrastructure, Google Cloud Platform and Apache Airflow.\nUnderstanding of controls theory, electric motors, and embedded systems, or working directly with complex hardware in a lab environment.\nProfessional or Project-based Experience with Reinforcement Learning (RL), or working with training datasets for supervised or unsupervised learning.\nThe base pay range for this position is between $100,000 to $140,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and an annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3505,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics & Warehouse Robotics","Industrial Robotics","Humanoid Robots"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T22:49:15Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 14","filings_12m":14,"filings_prev_12m":12,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":222500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":45,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":140000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T09:42:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14611,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47994},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47994"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fboston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fboston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fboston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/boston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fboston-dynamics-atlas-controls-reliability-senior-data-engineer"}]}
