About the role
- This enables us to explore entirely new materials and processes, making possible a class of devices that cannot be fabricated in conventional fab environments.
- From a test perspective, this means there is often no existing playbook.
- As part of the test group, you will work on complex multidisciplinary problems.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end test development: define requirements, architect solutions, build systems, and deploy them into production
- Design test strategies from first principles for devices without existing validation frameworks
- Develop error budgets and measurement approaches for precision sensing and device characterization
- Architect and build custom instrumentation, including PCB design, firmware, and mechanical fixtures
- Document test systems, interfaces, and operating procedures to enable reliable handoff to production, reproducibility of results, and long-term maintainability
- Drive improvements in test reliability, data quality, and production throughput
- Deep understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit design
- To help our recruiting team manage application volume and respond to candidates more efficiently, Atomic Machines may use AI-assisted tools.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in circuit design, instrumentation development, or test engineering
- Demonstrated experience in full board development from initial circuit concepts through PCB layout, including defining specifications, validating functionality at the schematic level, and executing PCB layout
- Experience implementing analog system control using microcontrollers
- Proficiency with standard electronic test equipment
- Demonstrated ability to reason about and make engineering tradeoffs (e.g., accuracy vs speed, noise vs architecture, modularity vs robustness)
Nice to have
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics.
- A PhD in a hard science or engineering discipline is strongly preferred
Compensation
- $200,000 - $245,000 USD
