HUNTSVILLE, AL | SAN FRANCISCO, CA | DETROIT, MI | HYBRID

Conduit's FactoryOS platform allows manufacturers to scale production ready automation solutions in days, not months. With a suite of powerful applications, we allow manufacturers to automate faster and smarter by coordinating every robot, machine, and system on one platform. At Conduit, our mission is to give every American manufacturer the power to automate their factories at lightning speed.

We’re already deployed in production at top manufacturers and growing fast. Backed by leading investors, and built by a team that moves at light speed with deep conviction in American industrial dominance.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll be the Conduit between the factory floor and our team — deploying our platform, solving high-stakes problems in real time, and helping manufacturers achieve full automation faster than ever before. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with operators, engineers, and executives to turn their factories into fully connected, intelligent systems.

What you'll do

Deploy the FactoryOS. Own the rollout of Conduit into production environments, integrating with robots, PLCs, and factory softwares.
Work with customers to develop modules used across the customer based from the factory floor
Solve the hardest problems in manufacturing. Get hands-on with robots, debug network issues, and design solutions that blend hardware, software, and human workflows.
Build what’s missing. Write Python code and develop new features that close the gap between what our customers need and what the platform can do today.
Collaborate deeply. Partner with customer, product, and backend teams to translate frontline insight into product evolution.
Be a trusted advisor. Guide manufacturers through automation challenges, architecture decisions, and the process of modernizing their entire operation.

Who You Are

Full stack and agent development skills while writing production-quality code.
A builder’s mindset — fast learner, resourceful, and comfortable in uncertain environments.
Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites and work in hybrid environments.
Excellent debugging instincts across networks, devices, and cloud/on-prem systems.

Bonus Points

Background in software, systems, AI, or robotics engineering.
Hands-on experience with factory automation or software systems
Experience deploying large-scale distributed or real-time systems.
Curiosity and grit — you love being in the field, solving impossible problems, and seeing the impact of your work in motion.
