The data platform for mission-critical machines

Noah Lucas built the data infrastructure behind sidewalk delivery robots and battlefield autonomy. Now he's VP of Product at Sift.

Sift, the data infrastructure platform for physical AI, has achieved FedRAMP High certification in partnership with Knox Systems, the largest federal managed cloud provider. The authorization gives federal agencies access to a purpose-built platform for hardware sensor data — with automated anomaly detection, real-time review, and long-term retention across programs — clearing the way for Sift to expand into national security and defense work.

The most impactful practice in modern software development is now available for hardware. Sift enables continuous validation for complex machines. This is how CI/CD principles and Sift’s Rules give engineers continuous releases, greater certainty, and less risks and costs.

Propulsion development lives or dies by test cadence. When the data pipeline is fragmented , the iteration loop slows. The Exploration Company (TEC) tests with Sift, accelerating two of Europe’s most ambitious propulsion programs: the Mistral green hypergolic thruster and the Huracan electric-pump-fed cryogenic rocket engine.

Sift is expanding to two cities with new senior leaders across engineering, product, sales, and design to bring modern data infrastructure to rockets, robots, and autonomous machines.

A hardware team's most valuable asset is the accumulated judgment of its engineers. The instinct to protect it by freezing the design is ironically what destroys it. Here's how the best teams manage risk through change and turn attrition risk into engineering acceleration.

You'll outgrow your Grafana backend before you outgrow Grafana. Here's how to keep the dashboards you love without the infrastructure pain.

Sift co-founder and CTO Austin Spiegel joins the BUILT Leaders podcast to discuss why hardware telemetry has lagged decades behind software observability — and how lessons from SpaceX and Riot Games shaped Sift's product, team, and culture.
