Thrilled to share my recent appearance on Payload's Pathfinder podcast, where Austin and I broke down how Sift is transforming telemetry for modern machines.
We dove into the core challenges engineers face with high-frequency sensor data and explained why Sift is the solution for cutting through the noise. Our journey from SpaceX to founding Sift was driven by firsthand experience with the inefficiencies of existing tools.
Key highlights:
- Sift handles massive data volumes — think millions of points per second from rockets and satellites
- We're slashing testing time from weeks to hours through automated data review
- Our platform captures institutional knowledge, preserving critical insights even as teams evolve
- We're already exploring applications beyond aerospace, including manufacturing and lunar operations
The podcast also touches on our recent $17.5M Series A led by Google Ventures. Their deep dive into our tech and quick conviction speaks volumes about the problem we're solving.
Sift is giving engineers superpowers to build better, safer machines faster. If you're pushing the boundaries of hardware innovation, give this a listen. Check out the full podcast on YouTube, Apple, or Spotify. Let me know what you think!
