With Sift Stack, two ex-SpaceX engineers are bringing the software that helped launch rockets to the factory floor

Sift Stack, founded in 2022 by two ex-SpaceX engineers, provides software tools for managing telemetry data in complex manufacturing environments like spacecraft and automotive production. As AI tools commoditized their custom workflow offerings, the company pivoted to focus on data infrastructure management, handling data from machines with over 1.5 million concurrent sensors. The shift aligns with Silicon Valley's growing focus on physical manufacturing, highlighted by Jeff Bezos's reported $100 billion factory automation fund.
