For Teams That Build Without Limits
Modern machines don’t just move, they think. They’re autonomous, software-defined, and mission-critical. But most people still build them like it’s 1995. That’s why we built Sift.
Sift exists to make engineering faster, safer, and smarter for companies pushing the limits in aerospace, defense, robotics, and autonomy.
Push the limits of what humans can accomplish by powering machines with infrastructure that delivers real-world outcomes.
A world where engineers are never held back because the tools they use are as advanced as the systems they’re building.
To build machines without limits, you need tools without them. That means delivering results, not just software.
The Operating System for Mission-Critical Machines
Sift is a unified observability platform for physical systems spanning design, validation, manufacturing, and operations.

Built for the Most Demanding Environments
Sift supports teams that build, operate, and maintain complex machines. The systems that can’t afford to fail.
Autonomous aircraft and defense platforms from hypersonic systems to UAVs.
Robotic manufacturing and test environments enabling traceability and real-time validation across product lines.
Satellite constellations and spacecraft managing ground-to-orbit observability at scale.
Energy systems and infrastructure powering mobile and distributed assets with real-time fault detection and telemetry.
Vehicles and fleets supporting autonomy, over-the-air updates, and fleet-wide performance tracking.
Critical industrial systems where uptime, compliance, and insight are non-negotiable.
If it has a test plan, a control system, and a mission then it belongs on Sift.
Built for the Most Demanding Environments
The tools to manage complex machines weren't keeping pace with the machines themselves. Our founders saw an opportunity to revolutionize how engineers work with data, paving the way for faster, safer innovation across industries.

Machine
without Limits
In our manifesto, we’ve laid out what needs to change in modern engineering and what comes next.
It’s not a vision deck. It’s a line in the sand.
Today’s machines are more autonomous, more software-defined, and more complex than ever. But most teams are still debugging with dashboards and drowning in telemetry they can’t act on. The Manifesto breaks down why observability is now foundational infrastructure, why CI/CD principles must apply to hardware, and why the old way of building won’t cut it anymore.

Engineer your future.
We don’t just ship features, we solve existential problems for our customers. At Sift, everything is oriented toward outcome delivery. That’s why we partner with our customers to eliminate blind spots, accelerate iteration, and deliver infrastructure that scales with the mission. We’re not seen as a vendor, but rather a force multiplier.
We’re hiring engineers, designers, and operators who aren’t afraid to rethink how the world builds hardware.
Think you’d thrive in a high-trust, high-speed environment?
