About the role

We are seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to build quality for our compute box build, from incoming material through the unit that ships. In this role, you will set the inspection standards, control plans, and disposition process for the line, hold the release gate on every unit, and drive defects to root cause with engineering and suppliers.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
  • 6+ years in manufacturing quality, NPI quality, or supplier quality on electronic or electromechanical hardware: PCBA, box build, harnesses
  • Compute, ECU, or electronics box-build quality in automotive, autonomous vehicle, robotics, or aerospace programs
  • Set up quality on a new line or new product: control plans, inspection plans, and disposition process, without an established organization behind you
  • Fluency in PFMEA, control plans, 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone as working tools
  • Ownership of an MRB or nonconformance disposition process
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.
