About the role
We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to own the system requirements and interface control documents for our autonomous vehicle and truck platforms. In this role, you will take a platform from platform-level requirements, to decomposed and allocated subsystem requirements, to a verification plan with results confirmed against each requirement, working out how the autonomy kit's sensing, compute, networks, and power meet the vehicle or machine it is installed on.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Systems Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of systems engineering experience
- Experience authoring system requirements for a vehicle, robotics, or comparable hardware and software system, including decomposition to subsystems, allocation, and traceability to verification
- Experience writing and maintaining interface control documents, or equivalent interface specifications, between hardware and software subsystems
- Working experience with a requirements management tool such as Jama, DOORS, or Polarion, including configuring its structure, attributes, and traceability
- Experience writing verification plans and acceptance criteria and confirming test results against requirements
- Working knowledge of vehicle networks and interfaces, including CAN, and CAN FD, and Automotive Ethernet, and of sensor and compute interfaces and time synchronization
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.
