## About the role

Atoms is looking for a Robotics Engineer who thrives at system-level debugging and end-to-end feature delivery—taking autonomy capabilities from prototype to reliable performance on real vehicles. You’ll develop, test, and deploy features for our autonomous trucks, and you’ll serve as a technical lead during deployments, owning bring-up, triage, and cross-team coordination in mission-critical environments.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of professional (non-internship) software development experience
- Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (Python, C++, Java, or C#), experience with object-oriented design and building maintainable systems
- Proven robotics engineering experience with evidence of system-level ownership (e.g., integration, debugging, performance tuning, field support, or deployments)
- Ability to design and debug software systems with strong diagnostics (structured logging/metrics, fault isolation, testability) that scale beyond a single vehicle
- Working knowledge of core robotics concepts and math (e.g., state estimation/Kalman filtering, localization, planning, controls)
- Comfort operating in ambiguity—able to define scope, interfaces, milestones, and success criteria to drive a problem to completion
