Summary: Build and operate the software/infrastructure backbone of the AI Factory tooling -- dashboard, data pipeline, and image-inspection pipeline -- on production-grade Meta infrastructure. (Same scope as our current dashboard/infra owner.)

Responsibilities:
Build and maintain the AI Factory dashboard and the yield/triage data pipeline (ingest, scheduled processing, uptime).
Support the image-inspection pipeline: factory image ingestion and automated end-to-end processing.
Operate on production-grade infra (Tupperware, S3) -- deployments, monitoring, on-call reliability.
Onboard new factories onto the platform and scale capacity as we expand.
Partner with factory-side engineers on camera/AOI and station-data integration.

Required:
Strong full-stack / infrastructure software engineering.
Data pipelines, cloud storage, and service deployment (S3, containerized services).
Track record owning reliability / infra for a production tool, including scaling to new sites.
Nice-to-have: Image/vision pipeline; manufacturing/factory data; Python + ML tooling; web dashboard / front-end experience.

Manufacturing factory experience, Apple experience is highly preferred!

Key Projects/Day-to-Day Responsibilities:
Maintain and harden the AI Factory dashboard and data pipeline (ingest, scheduled processing, uptime/stability);
Support the image-inspection pipeline (factory image ingestion and automated processing end-to-end);
Operate on production-grade infra (Tupperware, S3) with deployments, monitoring, and on-call stability;
Partner with factory-side engineers on camera/AOI and station-data integration.
Purpose/Size of this team & where does this position fit within the team?
A small, dedicated AI Factory pod within V+V / Wrist Hardware. This position owns the infrastructure and reliability backbone the tooling runs on.
Outside of current hiring need(s), will there be additional needs for contractors in the next 12-months (forecasting)?
Yes — as the platform scales to Coop and additional AI-devices programs, we anticipate further contractor needs, including in-region factory / AOI engineering support.
Why is this position open?
Net-new role to staff the pod so the AI Factory tooling can scale reliably across multiple programs.
How was this position being filled previously? Did you use a vendor, consulting firm, etc? Do you recall what you were paying per hour?
Net-new role — not previously filled and no external vendor / agency, so no prior hourly bill rate.
How will performance be measured?
Tool/dashboard uptime and pipeline reliability; on-time delivery of infra and pipeline features; smooth factory-side data integration
