What You’ll Do:
- Own and lead architecture, development, and qualification of complex systems within our autonomous micro-manufacturing platform, incorporating process technologies such as physical vapor deposition, vacuum material handling, laser micromachining, electrochemical, fluid handling and dispense, bonding and joining, conveyance systems, and more.
- Lead a cross-functional team of highly experienced mechanical, software, electrical, process and materials engineers; managing projects, risks, and shaping our technology development path.
- Be an exemplary pillar for engineering excellence with concise documentation, analytical models, and strong engineering decision-making to provide a detailed understanding of machine performance.
- Drive your work through rapid learning loops, leveraging our in-house lab, fab, and machine shop.
- Work with experts from other teams to ensure systems are performant while being efficient, operable, and reliable; challenging assumptions and building strong professional relationships.
What You’ll Need:
- A first-principles mindset — you question assumptions, reframe problems from the ground up, and approach challenges with a foundational understanding rather than relying solely on precedent.
- 10+ years of experience designing complex multi-physics precision mechanical systems.
- Demonstrated deep expertise in one or more disciplines and breadth or the ability to learn across the following engineering disciplines: precision engineering, machine design, mechanisms, thermal, vacuum, fluids, optics, electromagnetics, sensors, materials.
- Proficiency in systems engineering and system architecture definition.
- Multiple successful product life cycles that you’ve stewarded from conception to successful market launch.
- Experience leading cross functional technical teams toward successful product development in multiple technical domains.
- Exceptional command of engineering fundamentals, design principles, and detailed engineering definition.
- Infectious creativity and inventiveness, the ability to take and manage technical risks, and lead by influencing.
- Resourcefulness, flexibility, and adaptability, with no task too big or too small.
- A willingness to learn; a willingness to teach.
- Minimum B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
Bonus Points For:
- Industry experience in product development processes such as Agile, ICSM, etc

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.
