About the role

Our manufacturing system is composed of nodes; each delivers a unit of manufacturing capacity for a process, and there are a dozen or more node types. As a Software Engineer, Robotic Applications, you will bring nodes to life: designing the automation sequences, state machines, and APIs that turn integrated hardware into reliable, repeatable manufacturing capacity. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years developing software for systems that interact with hardware or the physical world (level set by experience and interview performance
  • Depth on something you built: at least one system you can take us two layers down into, what you wrote, why that design, what broke, and how you found it
  • A first-principles mindset: you reason about why a design works, not just how you've seen it done
  • Systematic debugging habits, starting from the symptom and reaching the mechanism, and the collaboration skills to chase problems across the software/electrical/mechanical boundary
  • BS in CS, EE, ME, Mechatronics, Robotics, or equivalent experience
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™ 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.
