Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler, an AI-native, all-digital manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines directly from code, and PrimeSwitch, its first product family. Backed by E14 Fund.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Platform Manufacturing Engineering to lead Production Manufacturing Engineering as we scale the Matter Compiler from pilot production into high-volume manufacturing. You will own the equipment that builds our devices — its build, integration, bring-up, qualification and reliability — and the team of engineers who deliver it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of manufacturing or equipment engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineers with 5 or more direct reports
- Current hands-on capability. You still design in CAD, still debug hardware on the floor, and could take the hardest open task on your team's board tomorrow. We will test this directly in the loop
- Proven ownership of automated production equipment end to end — architecture through mechanical, controls and software integration, into a qualified, released system running in production
- Proficiency in CAD for equipment design (SolidWorks, Onshape, AutoCAD or similar), with recent personal use
- A track record of developing engineers through the work — specific people who grew because you put them on projects you were leading, reviewed their designs, and handed off scope as they were ready for it
- A track record of building out a functional group: defining roles, hiring against a plan, and installing the operating standards — not only inheriting an existing team
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.
