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.

Create processes and write software for flashing, bring-up, and testing devices
Build hardware-in-the-loop tests for actuation, burn-in, and bench testing
Build tools for technicians: visualization for status, test deployment, test results, test result tracking
Advise on and iterate on device issue tracking to manage issues over time
Work with contract manufacturers to build out process and scripts
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.
We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what's known and building what doesn't yet exist.

Minimum of 3 years of relevant non-internship work experience
Demonstrated ability to solve complex hardware and software issues through methodical investigation and creative problem-solving
Experience writing software that interacts with hardware systems
Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to engineers and technicians
Experience with Linux systems, debugging tools, C++, Python
Deeper experience working with at least one piece of an autonomy stack: sensors/actuators, networking/comms, electrical systems

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.

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. We're changing that.

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.
