The Tools That Served Us In The Past Won’t Carry Us Forward
The systems we’re building today demand more than dashboards and scripts.
Sift was built by engineers who’ve launched rockets, deployed autonomous systems, and scaled advanced manufacturing. We learned firsthand that legacy tools can’t keep up with modern machines. Sift is a unified observability platform that provides real-time insight, auditability, and engineering confidence across the hardware lifecycle.
Why Sift
Software for Hard(ware) Companies
Modern hardware is defined by its complexity. Hundreds of sensors. Thousands of decisions. Terabytes of data per test. Yet most teams are still stitching together dashboards, scripts, and spreadsheets. You don't need better versions of old tools, you need a fundamentally different approach.
Sift was built for the machines that define this century. Not to visualize data, but to help engineers understand it and act.
The World’s First End-to-End Unified Observability Stack
Sift is tackling the greatest challenges in hardware development directly, with tools designed to head off future problems and streamline the scaling process from beginning to end.
Legacy systems are costly, ineffective, and break easily. Sift outperforms antiquated models and mitigates risk from the R&D phase all the way to launch and beyond.
Leveraging Boots-On-The-Ground Expertise
Sift's team brings decades of frontline experience accelerating hardware innovation at companies like SpaceX, Google, Palantir and Amazon. We intimately understand the challenges of building groundbreaking machines in uncharted territory, where success demands a constant stream of reliable, real-time data to drive engineering decisions. That hard-won expertise is why we built Sift — to arm private and government visionaries with the battle-tested tools and support needed to create revolutionary technologies that were previously the exclusive domain of nation states, from initial concept to final deployment and beyond.
Democratizing Access to Groundbreaking Tools
Sift maximizes your resources and allows your team to use their time more effectively. You can ingest and store all the data you need, visualize it without writing any code, and create rules to automatically review it. Sift's tools let innovators focus on building modern machines that scale beyond human limitations.
If you’re stuck waiting on a team or writing Python to debug test data, your tools are in the way. Sift is built to get out of yours.
Supporting Your Team
Our team has led programs where the cost of failure was measured in payloads, timelines, and risk to life.Our engineers bring a mission-oriented mindset to every engagement, dedicating themselves fully to understanding and advancing your goals. We’ve dealt with fragmented tools, brittle pipelines, and slow feedback loops.
Sift exists because we never want to build with those limitations again.
Unified Observability
Developing complex machines without a modern telemetry stack is a recipe for failure. Sift's purpose-built platform for hardware sensor data streamlines collaboration, slashes costs, and accelerates your time to market, helping you beat competitors to the punch.
Sift accelerates the R&D process and enables you to launch confidently, with automated processes, anomaly detection, customized rules-based reporting, and predictive AI and machine learning.
Learn how Sift can help you scale faster while optimizing your machine’s performance.
Machine Without Limits
Spacecraft, autonomous vehicles, and defense platforms are smarter, faster, and more interconnected than ever. But teams are still testing them with workflows built for a different era.
Relying on brittle scripts, screenshots, and tribal knowledge to debug complex machines isn't just inefficient, it’s risky.
Sift lays out a new model built on continuous validation, real-time insight, and system-level observability.It’s not about adding more tools. It’s about creating an infrastructure built for speed, safety, and scale. Read why we're building Sift for you.
