Description

YOUR IMPACT AT UMH

Build and scale a real-time data platform that runs hundreds of Benthos pipelines inside a single Docker container, processing millions of industrial messages that control actual production processes.

ABOUT US

Bridging the computer and factory worlds, we empower engineers with best in class IT and OT tools. Factories worldwide produce millions of data points per second, but managing this data, especially in manufacturing, is complex due to challenges like navigating demilitarized zones, poor internet connections, controlling real-world operations, and requiring non-IT expert handling.
We have been bootstrapped since the founding a couple years ago, so we were able to grow naturally because of our customers buying the product. A couple weeks ago, we decided to further fuel that growing and decided to take in the German investor Freigeist / Frank Thelen.
United Manufacturing Hub is an equal-opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals regardless of ethnicity, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age
