About the role
The Matter Compiler will take a device design and produce a physical part without the manual translation steps. Design for manufacturing (DFM) is where that translation happens, and it is currently human work: an engineer reasons about how a part must be arranged, held, and processed, and encodes that judgment one design at a time.
What they're looking for
- This posting is not tied to a specific level and spans early career through Staff, or L4 to L6. Candidates should have a minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience or a PhD in a related field
- Working computational geometry ability: 2D boolean operations, polygon offsetting, packing and no-fit-polygon style reasoning
- Strong software engineering: Python plus a systems language, and comfort driving geometry kernels and libraries through their APIs (Shapely, Clipper, OpenCascade, CGAL, or similar)
- A clear demonstration of working productively on novel, poorly specified problems. A PhD is one way to show this. Open source contributions, patents, or industry work on greenfield problems count equally
- Willingness to ground your work in physical evidence from the fab, and to iterate with the engineers running the process
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Math, Computational Design, or a related field
More about this role
Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
