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 Opportunity:
This is unlike any other technical recruiter position. You will fundamentally shape the future of Atomic Machines based on the engineers you hire while learning a ton about how to build a successful startup. And you will have the rare opportunity to see the most advanced machinery (lasers, CT scanners, lathes, etc.) build the smallest machines.
What you'll do:
- Own the entire recruitment lifecycle, including creating job descriptions, building a robust evaluation process (in collaboration with the hiring manager), creatively sourcing candidates, developing a qualified and diverse pipeline, and extending offers to selected candidates.
- Craft personalized outreach messages to engage passive talent and guide them through our interview process.
- Provide an exceptional recruiting and interview experience for both candidates and Atomizers.
- Identify top talent from robotics, hardware, and software companies, continuously building a network of potential candidates.
- Collaborate with the team to improve existing recruiting processes and implement scalable changes to our recruiting strategy.
- Offer mentorship and indirect leadership on various recruiting best practices.
- Support ad hoc projects as needed and be ready to seize opportunities at a moment's notice.
- Develop a deep understanding of the business. Learn what we are building and the team you are supporting. Don't just listen to their needs; proactively suggest improvements and consult on team growth.
What you’ll need:
- 5+ years of full lifecycle technical recruiting experience in a hardware company, including some startup experience hiring electrical, mechanical, software and/or embedded engineers.
- Proven track record of success in building strong partnerships with engineering teams.
- Persistent curiosity with a desire to learn as much as possible about our business.
- Excellent at driving processes and eliminating roadblocks. Yield to action and move efficiently.
- Data-driven and problem-solving mindset to intelligently improve the way we hire.
- Ability to think critically and creatively while thriving in a fast-paced and often ambiguous work environment.
- The aptitude for building organizations while taking into consideration the holistic team composition and long-term vision.

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.
