About the role
As a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer focused on Action Models, you will be one of the foundational technical leaders of Atoms' AI organization. You will help develop models that enable intelligent machines to reason about their environment, make decisions, and translate those decisions into actions in the physical world. This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, autonomous systems, planning, and embodied AI.
What they're looking for
- Deep expertise in machine learning with experience developing models for decision-making, robotics, autonomous systems, or embodied intelligence
- Strong understanding of modern deep learning architectures and their application to sequential decision-making and physical systems
- Experience with one or more areas such as reinforcement learning, imitation learning, behavior learning, planning, control, robot learning, or embodied AI
- Experience developing systems that connect learned representations or perception to downstream actions
- Strong understanding of sequential and temporal modeling and the relationship between actions and future states
- Experience training and evaluating models using large-scale real-world, simulated, or synthetic datasets
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.
