About the role
We’re hiring a mid-level Engineering Technician to add hands-on build capacity to the Vehicle Integration team. They’ll work under our Senior and Staff technicians, following the build standard they set. This person will build and retrofit development vehicles, install compute and sensor hardware, make prototype harnesses and do first-pass bring-up and debug. A lot of the work is first-of-its-kind with little or no documented procedure. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle integration, automotive or EV service, electromechanical assembly, prototype build or fabrication
- Comfort working on first-of-its-kind builds with little or no documentation, and the drive to figure things out from first principles
- Experience building and repairing wire harnesses, including crimping, soldering, connector work and continuity testing
- Ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, mechanical drawings and BOMs, and to flag when something doesn’t match reality
- Working knowledge of low-voltage power distribution, fusing, grounding and CAN bus
- Methodical troubleshooting across hardware and software, plus comfort with Linux, the command line and reading logs during bring-up
More about this role
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
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.
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.
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.
