ERPRoboticsHardware DesignLeadership
About the role
- Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world.
- But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained.
- It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate.
Responsibilities
- Analyze existing manufacturing flows for custom computer builds and retrofit kit manufacturing through time and motion studies, line balancing, and takt and cycle analysis, then implement the improvements you identify
- Own production floor layout across facilities and optimize flow between kitting and assembly operations
- Drive continuous improvement on build time, yield, and ergonomics by optimizing workstation layout and implementing solutions developed with technician feedback and the engineering team
- Design and build production tooling, jigs, and fixtures that improve quality and repeatability
- Create and maintain version-controlled work instructions, SOPs, and process documentation in partnership with hardware engineering
- Partner with hardware and NPI engineering as new designs transfer into production, feeding back manufacturability learnings from the line
- Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
- Atoms builds Physical AI- real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport.
- Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
- We don't just build machines in a lab.
Requirements
- 5+ years in manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering in production-heavy environments (automotive, aerospace, robotics, EV, industrial equipment)
- Degree in industrial, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience
- Hands-on experience with time and motion studies, line balancing, and factory layout design
- Experience taking production from prototype or low volume to scaled output
Skills
- value stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, root cause analysis
Compensation
- The base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $183,250 per year.
Benefits
- Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package.
- You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.
- Benefits Summary (USA Full-Time Exempt Employees):
- Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance
- Flexible Spending Account / Health Savings Account Options
- Sick Time, Unlimited Flexible Time Off, and Paid Holidays

Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
- This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don't just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
- We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders.
- We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
- If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.
