Jobs at Atomic Machines

Design and implement robotic manufacturing applications, including automation sequences, state machines, hardware APIs, failure recovery, calibration, diagnostics, and simulation tools. Optimize machine cycle times, bring up electromechanical hardware, debug across software and hardware boundaries, improve observability and reliability, and participate in an on-call rotation. Daily development is primarily in Python, with collaboration across mechanical, electrical, and process engineering teams.

Design and build distributed manufacturing software coordinating state, timing, and behavior across hardware. Implement APIs, real-time controllers, instrumentation for ML/AI, and reliability/observability. Drive architecture decisions, improve CI/CD and testing practices, debug across software/firmware/hardware, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to converge on a production-ready platform.

Design, build, document, and troubleshoot electrical integration for custom manufacturing equipment. Integrate sensors, actuators, electronics, wiring, firmware, and mechanical subsystems; develop interconnects, fixtures, cable assemblies, and test setups; support prototype bring-up and validation; and create ICDs, cable drawings, work instructions, and procedures. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, embedded systems, and manufacturing engineers to deliver reliable, serviceable electromechanical designs.

Own end-to-end electrical test development for novel micromachine devices, including test strategy, precision measurement, instrumentation, PCB design, firmware, mechanical fixtures, and production integration. Develop error budgets, validate data quality, document systems, and improve reliability and throughput while balancing accuracy, cost, scalability, and speed. Collaborate with device, manufacturing, and product teams to translate ambiguous requirements into measurable specifications and robust test systems.

Manage PLM document control in Arena: create/update/release drawings, SOPs, and manufacturing instructions; perform QA checks; route ECOs; maintain templates and naming conventions; produce work instructions and onboarding materials; perform light CAD tasks in Onshape; audit and improve documentation and workflows.

Own and extend complex internal manufacturing applications, focusing on React and TypeScript front-end development. Build stateful graph-editing interfaces, implement validation and deterministic data contracts, write tests, debug issues, and improve reliability and performance. Collaborate with AI researchers, process engineers, chemists, device engineers, designers, and software engineers to translate technical workflows into precise, usable tools. Maintain existing codebases, document technical decisions, and deliver features end to end.

Build and operate production MLOps infrastructure spanning experimentation, model training, deployment, serving, monitoring, retraining, and rollback. Develop ML data and feature pipelines using multimodal manufacturing data, maintain lakehouse and feature-store capabilities, and establish observability and human-in-the-loop feedback systems. Collaborate with data, AI, software, process, materials, and simulation engineers to deliver reliable, scalable ML platforms and model feedback loops.

Build financial infrastructure, models, scenario analyses, and reporting to support resource allocation, cost optimization, unit economics, and operational planning. Partner with Operations, Engineering, Go-to-Market, data teams, PMO, and senior leadership to track execution, identify risks, improve reporting, and prepare board and investor materials.

Leads enterprise network and cybersecurity architecture across corporate and manufacturing environments. Manages network and security engineers, vendors, infrastructure operations, cloud networking, segmentation, firewalls, monitoring, incident response, vulnerability remediation, compliance controls, and technology roadmaps. Designs resilient AWS and hybrid connectivity, oversees routing, switching, wireless, OT/IT security, and presents risk and strategy to stakeholders.

Architect and implement software infrastructure that coordinates precision manufacturing equipment, robotics, embedded controllers, and cloud services. Define interfaces, develop APIs and distributed services, build automated testing, simulation, and CI/CD pipelines, perform system integration and validation, drive performance and reliability improvements, and lead cross-boundary debugging, FMEA, and root-cause analysis.

Lead end-to-end People Operations to scale processes, HRIS, payroll/benefits in‑house, performance and development programs, site employee experience, and People Ops team development across multiple California sites.

Provide high-level operational support to Sr. Director+ engineering leaders: manage calendars, travel, communications, expense reports, meeting materials, events, and special projects. Act as liaison across teams, represent leaders professionally, handle confidential information, and coordinate logistics to maximize leadership productivity in a fast-paced startup.

Own the design-for-manufacturing software layer of the Matter Compiler CAM stack. Develop computational geometry algorithms, manufacturability constraints, layout and retention logic, physical process models, validation systems, and production knowledge bases. Collaborate with AI, modeling, design, and process engineering teams to translate manufacturing expertise into auditable, testable code and validate results against fab runs.

Lead and execute enterprise detection and response across cloud, OT/ICS, endpoint, identity, and network. Manage security tools and vendors, mature SIEM/cloud logging, embed security into cloud/IaC, run incident response, perform OT assessments, and maintain policies and compliance (NIST/SOC2/ISO27001).

Design, build, document, and troubleshoot electrical systems for custom manufacturing equipment. Own integration of sensors, actuators, power, connectors, and interconnects through prototype build, bring-up, validation, and documentation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams on packaging, assembly, test fixtures, and serviceability.

Provide hands-on end-user and lab IT support for engineers and staff: manage SaaS provisioning, device and software lifecycle, MDM and patching, network and on-prem infrastructure, conference AV, documentation, and collaborate with senior IT on diagnostics and automation. On-site in Emeryville five days weekly.

Develop CAD automation pipelines and collaborate with teams to optimize designs for micromachines, ensuring manufacturability and functionality.

The Senior Director of Robotics Hardware will lead a team in developing digital manufacturing nodes, ensuring hardware architecture aligns with strategic objectives, and establishing efficient manufacturing processes and engineering excellence standards.
