Data Engineer, Hardware & Consumer DevicesPosted today$295K–$445K

The opportunity

OpenAI is building a new generation of AI-powered consumer devices, creating opportunities to bring increasingly capable AI into people's everyday lives.

What you'll do

  • Build foundational data infrastructure: Design and implement reliable, scalable data pipelines, platforms, and datasets that support hardware development, manufacturing, customer operations, and device performance.

  • Connect complex data ecosystems: Integrate information across manufacturing systems, factory operations, device telemetry, quality assurance, and customer-facing operational systems.

  • Establish durable data models: Develop reusable datasets and data architectures that enable consistent measurement, investigation, and decision-making across multiple teams.

  • Enable manufacturing and quality intelligence: Connect manufacturing conditions and production history with downstream product performance, reliability, returns, and failure signals.

  • Prepare for scale: Design systems that evolve from early-stage development and initial production to increasingly complex operations and large-scale consumer deployment.

  • Partner across disciplines: Work with hardware and software engineers, manufacturing teams, operations leaders, and Data Scientists to translate emerging requirements into robust technical solutions.

What they're looking for

  • Shape our technical direction: Help establish engineering standards, architectural principles, data quality practices, and infrastructure decisions that will influence the organization for years to come.
  • Are comfortable making architectural decisions as requirements evolve and the: right solutions aren't immediately obvious.
  • Are highly self-directed and can take broad, ambiguous problems from exploration through implementation.
  • Enjoy working directly with cross-functional partners and understanding how: technical decisions affect real products and operational outcomes.
