- A track record of organizing development across varied systems, balancing specialized requirements with shared architecture, reuse, and scalability
- Proactive cross-functional leadership: uncovering needs, shaping requirements, developing technical roadmaps, and securing alignment through execution
- Experience building and leading strong engineering organizations, including hiring, coaching, developing leaders, managing performance, and delegating ownership
- Experience establishing engineering standards across distributed teams and driving accountability beyond direct reporting lines
More about this role
Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.
Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.
