What You’ll Do:
- Full-cycle recruiting for senior-level mechanical, embedded, and electrical engineering roles—from kickoff through close.
- Create tailored outreach strategies to engage passive, hard-to-reach talent from other relevant companies (i.e. hardware and robotics)
- Sit with our engineers, learn the tech, and use that knowledge to vet candidates and sell the vision authentically.
- Maintain clear, consistent candidate communication and deliver a high-quality experience at every touchpoint.
- Identify top talent through direct sourcing and build a pipeline of exceptional engineers.
- Collaborate with hiring managers to architect and execute an exceptional candidate experience that exemplifies our technical excellence and company values.
- Continuously improve our processes, tools, and metrics to increase recruiting velocity and quality.
- Jump on critical needs and shift gears quickly—this is a startup, and adaptability is a must.
What You’ll Need:
- 3+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience, with a focus on hardware engineering roles.
- Track record hiring mechanical, embedded, and/or electrical engineers—bonus if you’ve done so in stealth or low-profile environments in the Bay Area.
- Experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies with proven high response rates
- Proactive at closing candidates—you drive the process from initial contact through offer acceptance with persistence and finesse
- An ownership mindset. Our contractors are still Atomizers. You embrace the work and the company like it is yours and take accountability for your work. You're hands-on, resourceful, and excited to do what it takes.
- A passion for understanding complex products—you ask questions, dig into the tech, and strive to truly get what the team is building.
- Comfortable being onsite in our Emeryville or Santa Clara office, engaging directly with engineers and hiring managers. Once ramped, three days a week onsite is possible.
- Ability to craft compelling sourcing outreach that cuts through the noise to engage passive top talent
- Fast, precise, organized—able to manage multiple searches while maintaining a high bar.
- Clear, concise communicator with strong attention to detail.

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.
