Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.
Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.
We are seeking a senior engineer to help shape the future of our laser-based manufacturing processes from development to scaled production. This role operates at the nexus of process, device design, AI, software and hardware - bridging advanced micromachining, materials physics, and optical systems. You will drive forward laser process development to deliver rapid and effective results across cutting, milling, selective ablation, and welding processes using a suite of in-house-built pulsed-laser machines. You will champion innovative metrology and in-situ sensing to analyze laser-material interactions and feed AI-enabled process optimization. You'll also solve complex toolpath problems using commercial and custom CAD/CAM software.
Just as important as your technical depth is how you work: you identify the gaps and problems and run toward them, you build scalable systems as you go rather than executing a known playbook, and you take strong ownership from development through hand-off to production. The ideal candidate is capable of carrying a processing technology through its entire life cycle - from first principles, to experimentation and prototyping, to a robust, qualified process running at scale on our digital, autonomous manufacturing platform
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
