About Atomic Machines

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler technology. This full-stack technology enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes frustrated by semiconductor methods and to open up entirely new product classes. The Matter Compiler technology fully realizes the digital manufacturing dream: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device-one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter Compiler technology-that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

About The Role:

As a Software Applications Engineer, Robotic Systems, you will design and build the distributed software system that controls the Matter Compiler. You'll have the chance to work across layers of the stack, abstracting low-level device interfaces into high-level automation APIs. One sprint, you might be designing system behavior with a mechanical engineer; the next, you could be bringing up and integrating complex electromechanical systems.

You'll be joining a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment where teams collaborate closely-including modeling and simulation, materials science, process development, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering-as we bring truly novel technology to life.

This role is based in either our Santa Clara or Emeryville office and is well-suited to an engineer with strong fundamentals, curiosity, and a drive to develop systems-level thinking.
What You'll Do

Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints.
Design and operate software that coordinates state, timing, and failure recovery across a distributed network of devices
Work hands-on with manufacturing robotics and design software to coordinate a distributed network of devices.
Work at multiple levels of the software stack-you'll design and implement a networked API and debug it down to the hardware.

What You'll Need

5+ years of industry experience developing software that interfaces with hardware
Multi-language programming fluency-ability to code fluently in multiple languages at multiple levels of the stack (our robotics engineers primarily use C++ and Python; knowledge of Go is a bonus)
Deep and broad understanding of how computers work (our work involves a variety of processors and computing environments at multiple levels of the stack)
Familiarity with robotics-adjacent systems (sensors, actuators, timing constraints, physical failure modes)
Experience designing, building, and shipping complex software systems that control hardware as part of a team
Experience with version control and working on Linux machines
First-principles thinking with sound instincts for strategic tradeoffs.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field

Bonus Points For

Experience or interest in heterogeneous, distributed computing architectures
Experience in abstracting the control of manufacturing machines, material transport systems, and factory-level orchestration
Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging

The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
