Head of Platform Architecture

Foundational Industries · SF Bay Area · Full-Time

Skills

• You have architected and shipped a manufacturing OS, MES, or ERP system from the ground up at least twice — not configured an existing one, not inherited one mid-build.
• You have designed data models and system architecture for production scheduling, inventory management, and quality tracking in a real manufacturing environment.
• You have integrated shop-floor systems — PLCs, SCADA, robotics controllers, sensors — with higher-level business systems, and you understand the failure modes on both sides.
• You have made build-versus-buy calls on ERP or MES components under real time and budget pressure, and can defend the tradeoffs you chose.
• You have designed systems for environments where downtime stops physical production, not just a website, and you architect for that failure mode.
