Senior Data Engineer – AI & ManufacturingIntelligence

Location

: Remote (Any country)

Employment type:

ContractThe client is building the AI operating system for advanced manufacturing and batteryR&D. Our platform ingests massive volumes of battery, equipment, and process data and turnsit into actionable intelligence for engineers - cutting root cause analysis from months to hoursand preventing millions in scrap and downtime.We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to own and lead our data foundation - fromingestion to semantic modeling - so our AI agents can reason reliably over complexmanufacturing data.

What You’ll Do

As a core member of the client, AI engineering team, you will:Data Ingestion & Pipelines

• Design and own scalable data ingestion pipelines for:
  

○ Battery testing data (electrochemical, cycling, diagnostics)
○ Equipment and sensor data from manufacturing tools○ Process recipes, SPC/SQC logs, and quality data

• Build robust batch and streaming pipelines using Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, and
  

GCP-based data services.

Data Cleaning & Normalization (Core Responsibility)

• Lead complex data cleaning efforts across noisy, incomplete, and inconsistent
  

manufacturing datasets.

• Handle real-world challenges such as:
  

○ Missing sensor values
○ Time-series misalignment○ Equipment drift and logging inconsistencies○ Unit mismatches and schema evolution

• Implement automated validation, anomaly detection, and data quality checks.
  

Data Modeling & Semantic Layer

• Design and maintain analytical and AI-ready data models.
• Build a semantic layer that maps raw battery and process data into:
  

○ Engineer-friendly abstractions
○ AI-consumable representations for root cause analysis, SPC, and predictivemodels

• Ensure data is structured so AI agents can reason over it reliably and contextually.
  

Cloud & Platform Ownership

• Own cloud-native data infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
• Optimize performance, cost, reliability, and scalability.
• Work closely with AI/ML engineers to ensure data availability and usability.
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with:
  

○ AI/ML engineers building agentic workflows○ Domain experts in battery manufacturing and materials science○ Product leadership to align data models with customer workflows

Required

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or similar role.
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  

○ Snowflake
○ Databricks○ AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, etc.)○ Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, etc.)

• Deep understanding of data cleaning, transformation, and validation in complex,
  

real-world datasets.

• Strong SQL and Python skills.
• Experience designing data models for analytics and machine learning use cases.
  

Strong Plus

• Experience with time-series, sensor, or industrial/manufacturing data.
• Exposure to battery data, electrochemistry, or equipment/process data.
• Experience building semantic layers or feature stores for AI/ML systems.
• Familiarity with streaming frameworks and orchestration tools.
  

Why Join this client:

• Work on hard, high-impact problems at the intersection of AI and advanced
  

manufacturing.

• Build the data backbone powering AI agents used by world-class battery and
  

manufacturing teams.

• Join a founding team with deep domain expertise in batteries, semiconductors, and
  

manufacturing AI.

• Direct ownership and influence over system architecture from day one.
