Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. The MC promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing both for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is fully digital in the way 3D printing is digital, but where 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology: bits and raw materials go in and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device – one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter Compiler – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.


Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.


About the Role:


This role is crucial in supporting our technology infrastructure at our expanding Santa Clara office. The responsibilities include addressing IT issues, streamlining the onboarding and offboarding processes, and improving the performance and security of our network.

  • Process Improvements and Automation: Document and improve our IT processes, and wherever possible, enhance efficiency by automating tasks and creating run books and playbooks.
  • Hardware Lifecycle Management: Manage procurement, device management (Apple and Windows devices with Intune), and depreciation of hardware assets.
  • Software Asset Management: Oversee the lifecycle of software/application assets from procurement to license assignment & reclamation, and create and maintain an Access Control Matrix to provision software based on least privilege access.
  • IT Operations and Helpdesk: Handle day-to-day IT tasks, including hardware, software, troubleshooting and support.
  • Team Support: Actively collaborate with senior IT team members for advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting. 
  • IT Infrastructure Maintenance: Maintain and support IT tech stacks such as Zoom rooms, AV systems, and on-premises systems (routers, firewall appliances, ethernet drops, security cameras, etc.) 
  • Security Support: Stay updated with 0-day security issues and CVEs and promptly remediate them.
  • Minimal Off-Hour Support: Provide support for rare network and infrastructure updates outside business hours.

What You’ll Need:

  • 5 to 8 years of experience in an IT role, providing support across multiple teams and resolving diverse IT issues.
  • Flexibility to work in Santa Clara and occasional travel to the Berkeley office.
  • Experience managing and deploying SSO/SAML tools, preferably Okta.
  • Positive attitude and enthusiasm for developing new processes and policies.
  • Strong understanding of IT systems administration, including core SaaS business applications and advanced troubleshooting on macOS, Linux, and Windows OS.
  • Strong understanding of network architecture and experience configuring and building scalable hybrid networks.
  • Experience in project management and excellent writing/documentation skills.
  • Exceptional customer service skills.
  • Aptitude for learning new technologies.
  • Ability to work in fast-paced environments with minimal guidance.
  • BA/BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have:

  • Demonstrable security and compliance experience, including proficiency in data protection and policy development.
  • Familiarity with programming/scripting languages like PowerShell, Bash, and Python.
  • Experience with AWS.
  • Excellent analytical, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

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.
