Atomic Machines is hiring Electrical Integration Engineers (Firmware Focus) to bring up, integrate, and troubleshoot the electrical and software-controlled subsystems used in our custom manufacturing equipment. This is a hands-on role at the boundary of electronics, embedded software, sensors, actuators, wiring, and machine controls. You will spend significant time working directly with physical hardware at the bench and on machines.
You will own the integration of defined modules and subsystems, developing diagnostic software and test scripts, bringing up hardware interfaces, validating sensors and actuators, and resolving failures that may span electronics, firmware, configuration, interconnects, and mechanisms. You will work closely with electrical, embedded systems, software, and mechanical engineers to turn new hardware into functioning, well-understood, and maintainable systems.
- Own bring-up and integration for software-controlled machine modules and subsystems.
- Develop Python device interfaces, diagnostic software, test scripts, and validation tools.
- Integrate and validate sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and common communication interfaces.
- Troubleshoot failures spanning electronics, firmware, wiring, configuration, and mechanical behavior.
- Define bring-up procedures, expected measurements, diagnostics, and subsystem acceptance tests.
- 2+ years of relevant engineering experience, or equivalent substantial hands-on experience.
- Experience building, bringing up, or troubleshooting electromechanical hardware.
- Ability to read schematics, block diagrams, pinouts, interface documents, and component datasheets.
- Experience bringing up electrical modules and interfacing with sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and common communication buses.
- Debugging hardware/firmware interactions using schematics, datasheets, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
- Ability to write clear Python software for device communication, testing, diagnostics, and hardware validation.
- Strong documentation and cross-functional communication skills.
- A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (associate's, bachelor's, or trade/technical program), or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Experience with robotics, automation equipment, scientific instruments, or other complex electromechanical systems.
- Familiarity with motor control, encoders, real-time systems, or industrial communication protocols.
- Experience with C/C++, embedded Linux, or microcontroller firmware.
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.

What We Do
Atomic Machines is redefining humanity’s relationship with matter. We see a future where our tools will allow us to reorganize matter at the atomic level at will, where we will go from bits to atoms for any object or machine that can be designed in alignment with physical laws. We have begun our journey with the development of a robotic manufacturing platform capable of making an entirely new class of micro-electromechanical (MEMS) devices. We are well funded and have exceptionally strong product/market fit and a clear go-to-market path for the device we will make first with our platform. Our platform breaks traditional manufacturing paradigms and constraints, enabling inexpensive rapid prototyping as well as large scale manufacturing with highly compelling economics. Joining forces with us means becoming part of an incredibly talented, inventive and passionate multi-disciplinary team working on a massive world-changing mission. You will have the opportunity to help define the company from its early days. You’ll be challenged to learn and grow as a builder and a leader as the company itself grows rapidly. And you will receive significant equity compensation - you’ll truly be a company owner and benefit financially from our overall success.
