Building the machines that build everything.
The Role

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 Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

About this Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer, Robotics Reilability you’ll start by owning the uptime and reliability of our prototyping and development fleet of hardware, electronics, and software that drive the Matter Compiler. You’ll develop safe release processes and company-wide visibility on the operational status of the units in the fleet, increasing the development velocity for all our power electronic device, materials process, and embedded systems engineers. 

You’ll rationalize our hardware configuration management process and act as the first line of defense for early diagnosis and triage of unexpected machine behavior. Standing up hardware-in-the-loop processes and building the playbooks for scaled operation is second nature to you. You can diagnose an issue with a tool ring or an electrical board and then perform basic repairs on your own.

You’ll be joining a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment with close collaboration across teams — including modeling and simulation, materials science, process development, and mechanical engineering — as we bring truly novel technology to life.

This role is based in Emeryville (preferred) or Santa Clara and is well-suited to an engineer with strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the fire to grow into systems-level thinking.

What You’ll Do:

  • Operate and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints.
  • Work at multiple levels of the Matter Compiler, including software, hardware, and electronics.
  • Work within cross functional teams to implement and execute verification tests.
  • Diagnose and document mechatronic and process issues throughout the hardware and software development life cycle.
  • Extend machine control software to improve observability.

What You’ll Need:

  • 5 + years of industry experience with precision hardware, scientific instruments, or similar
  • Bachelor of Science in a technical field with heavy exposure to machine control
  • Experience with HIL (Hardware in the Loop) Testing
  • Familiarity with C/C++ and Python programming and debugging
  • Familiarity with how motors and robots work at several length- and time-scales
  • Experience designing, building, and shipping complex processes in a hardware-aware environment
  • Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging
  • Familiarity with version control, Infrastructure-as-Code, and DevOps workflows.

Bonus points For:

  • Experience debugging APIs and infrastructure that support operation of manufacturing nodes, material transport systems, and the system-level controller.
  • Familiarity with the fundamentals of robotic systems, such as feedback control systems, motion planning, and computer vision.
  • Experience identifying needs, then proposing and standing up processes and communication forums that span organizational divisions.
  • Strong bias to metrology and observability over tribal knowledge

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.
