Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About The Role:
Atomic Machines is hiring Electrical Integration Engineers (Electromechanical Focus) to design, build, document, and troubleshoot the electrical systems used in our custom manufacturing equipment.
You will own the electrical integration of electromechanical modules and subsystems, from selecting and interfacing sensors, actuators, and third-party electronics through first-article build, bring-up, validation, and documentation. Interconnect design is an important part of the work, alongside prototype implementation, fixture development, physical integration and packaging, and troubleshooting across electronics, wiring, firmware, and mechanisms. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded systems, and manufacturing engineers to turn early prototypes into reliable, repeatable, and serviceable designs.What You’ll Do:
- Select and integrate sensors, actuators, third-party electronics, power components, cables, connectors, and communication interfaces.
- Design and build prototype interconnects, fixtures, and subsystem test setups.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging, routing, retention, access, serviceability, and assembly strategy.
- Troubleshoot issues spanning electronics, wiring, firmware, configuration, and mechanical behavior.
- Create and maintain ICDs, interconnect and cable drawings, work instructions, and bring-up procedures.
What You’ll Need:
- 2+ years of relevant engineering experience, or equivalent substantial hands-on experience.
- Experience building, bringing up, or troubleshooting electromechanical hardware.
- Ability to read schematics, block diagrams, pinouts, interface documents, and component datasheets.
- Experience integrating and bringing up sensors, actuators, electronics, and wiring within an electromechanical module or machine.
- Experience troubleshooting issues across electronics, wiring, sensors, actuators, and firmware using schematics, datasheets, and common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzer, multimeters, etc)
- Experience creating and maintaining electrical integration documentation, including ICDs, interconnect diagrams, cable drawings, pin tables, and work instructions.
- Hands-on experience building, modifying, and testing prototype wiring, cable assemblies, fixtures, or electromechanical hardware.
- Strong documentation and cross-functional communication skills.
- A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (associate's, bachelor's, or trade/technical program), or equivalent hands-on experience.
Bonus Points For:
- Experience with robotics, automation equipment, scientific instruments, or other complex electromechanical systems.
- Familiarity with motor control, grounding, shielding, EMI, or ESD.
- Experience working with cable vendors, electronics vendors, or contract manufacturers.
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
