Build the data infrastructure for robots operating in the real world.
Robotics is moving from research labs into production across factories, warehouses, vehicles, and field deployments. When robots fail, behave unexpectedly, or need to be improved, engineers rely on data to understand what actually happened.
At Foxglove, we build the observability, visualization, and data infrastructure that makes that possible. Our tools are used by robotics and autonomous systems teams to ingest, store, query, replay, and analyze massive volumes of multimodal sensor data from live systems and from production fleets.
Design Engineers at Foxglove work at the intersection of design and engineering, transforming complex data and workflows into clear, efficient user experiences. In this role, you’ll partner with cross-functional teams to prototype and build features that improve both the usability and overall capability of our platform. You’ll also help evolve and scale Foxglove’s design system and component library, enabling engineers to rapidly develop new features that are performant, accessible, and high-quality.
