Senior Data Engineer

About Aircapture

Aircapture is developing Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to address climate change by supplying commercial and industrial customers with clean CO₂ captured from the atmosphere. We're building a diverse team committed to environmental and economic impact.

The Role

You will own the data foundation that powers our Direct Air Capture systems, building and evolving pipelines, models, and analyses that transform operational data into actionable insights for our engineering and science teams. Partnering with test and controls engineering, you'll turn continuous streams of sensor, process, and test data from field equipment and production facilities into mission-critical decisions.

What You'll Do

• Own and evolve Aircapture's end-to-end data platform using Ignition and AWS
• Set technical direction for the data stack, evaluating tools, defining standards, and making durable architectural decisions
• Standardize and enforce engineering workflows across the data stack, including version control, code review, CI/CD, testing, and documentation
• Maintain and support on-premises server systems as part of data infrastructure
• Partner closely with controls engineering on Ignition rollout
• Collaborate with test engineering to build pipelines that move sensor, DAQ, and historian data into operational dashboards and reports

Your Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field (Master's preferred), or equivalent hands-on industry experience
• 6+ years building and operating production data systems mission-critical to hardware or physical products in industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, industrial equipment, energy, or semiconductor manufacturing
• Hands-on hardware and physical product experience required
• Solid experience with AWS services including RDS, IAM, VPC, and S3
• Demonstrated ability to design durable systems that handle real-world sensor data and scale over time

Location: Onsite at our development and production facility in Berkeley, California.
