About the role

We are seeking a Senior Harness Engineer to own the wire harnesses on our on-road autonomous vehicles, from design through fabrication and quality. In this role, you will take a harness from electrical architecture and schematic, to a released drawing package, to a built, tested, and installed assembly, working out how wire, connectors, routing, and protection come together on the vehicle. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in place of the degree
  • Working knowledge of wire, terminal, connector, seal, and circuit protection selection, grounding and shielding practice, and the sealed automotive connector systems in common use
  • Hands-on harness fabrication: cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, splicing, shielding, loom and overbraid, labeling, and continuity testing, with the ability to build and rework a harness yourself
  • Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620 and crimp validation methods, including pull testing, crimp height measurement, and cross-sectioning
  • Experience working with a contract harness manufacturer on DFM, first articles, quality issues, and engineering changes
  • Experience with a PLM or PDM system and an engineering change process, including effectivity and cut-in on hardware already in the field
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.
