About the role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer on the Bionic Enterprise team, you’ll embed with teams across Atoms to improve how the company works using AI and software. You’ll combine engineering, product judgment, and hands-on problem solving to take problems from discovery through deployment and measurable results. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A track record of taking initiative and getting useful things into production. You can point to problems you identified, solutions you built, and outcomes you helped achieve
- Strong product and business judgment. You ask good questions, challenge assumptions, and distinguish a worthwhile problem from an interesting technical exercise
- Practical engineering skills across applications, APIs, databases, and integrations. You can make sound architecture decisions and work effectively in unfamiliar systems
- Experience using AI coding tools to accelerate development, with the ability to explain, debug, test, and maintain the code they produce
- Comfort working with LLMs and AI-powered workflows, including deciding when a simpler automation is the better solution
- A strong sense of ownership and urgency. You can reduce scope, make sensible tradeoffs, and work through technical and organizational blockers while respecting security and access requirements
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.
